- Description
- Author, an assistant professor at the Department of women's studies at San Diego State University, wants to position women for the future through lessons learnt from the past by recounting the history of women in Afghanistan. The focus of this paper is on the importance of rural Afghanistan in the shaping of the nation and on women's status. Author traces the history of women in Aghanistan to show that women in Afghanistan were not always oppressed by fundamentalism as occurred under the Mujahideen and the Taliban. And she also shows that women's issues were part of national construction agendas like they were already in the 1920's. Author also tries to highlight the power of tribal and community leaders in defining the role of women and in resisting any modernization that would challenge their patriarchal authority. This paper also highlights the efforts made to empower women to create a sense of nationhood.

- Description
- Author presents the perceptions, attitudes and views of a group of Ahmadi women in Southern California through the eyes of their local leader. The specific focus is on ways in which Ahmadi women engage in cultural/religious community building within a racially and ethnically hostile environment since 9/11. Of particular concern are ways in which gender norms are reflected in Ahmadi women’s push toward formal and cultural education in their efforts to maintain their faith, culture and sense of community as they interface with the broader U.S. society. Given the current anti-Islamic climate in the U.S., the Ahmadis offer an interesting basis for comprehending the diversity among Muslims as well as illustrating how one Islamic group is locally constructed in the global politics of the West.
