Jouili, Jeanette Selma,
Pious practice and secular constraints : women in the Islamic revival in Europe / Jeanette S. Jouili. - 1 online resource (xi, 258 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Practicing Islam in inhospitable environments -- "I want to instruct myself to strengthen my faith" : learning in Islamic institutions -- "Your nafs pulls you down, your spirit up" : struggling for virtue -- "My label is not a feminist, it is simply Muslim" : beyond emancipation versus submission -- "A housewife with a diploma" : educated women in the family and the workplace -- Visibly Muslim : negotiating appearances in public spaces -- Pious citizens.
The visible increase in religious practice among young European-born Muslims has provoked public anxiety. New government regulations seek not only to restrict Islamic practices within the public sphere, but also to shape Muslims', and especially women's, personal conduct. Pious Practice and Secular Constraints chronicles the everyday ethical struggles of women active in orthodox and socially conservative Islamic revival circles as they are torn between their quest for a pious lifestyle and their aspirations to counter negative representations of Muslims within the mainstream society. Jeanette S.
