《打破刻板印象:穆斯林妇女大声疾呼》是美国穆斯林妇女撰写的学术和非学术文章合集,解决了 9/11 事件后围绕穆斯林妇女最具争议的问题。在引言中,阿夫扎尔-汗提出了她的两个目标:尽管穆斯林妇女的观点、历史和文化之间存在差异,但仍将她们的不同观点汇集并并置;启发读者了解穆斯林妇女之间的多样性并揭示其复杂性,以挑战西方作为知识体系构建和制度化的穆斯林妇女的单一形象。 《打破刻板印象》是一本选集,与许多其他关于穆斯林妇女主题的选集不同,它分为六个部分。在第一篇“非小说”中,几篇非学术和学术文章批判性地分析了穆斯林作为原教旨主义者和恐怖分子以及穆斯林妇女作为受压迫受害者的普遍刻板印象。该书声称,这种刻板印象造成了“我们”与“他们”之间更强烈的二分法,使犹太基督教通过反恐战争和将穆斯林妇女从伊斯兰束缚中解放出来,承担“文明”负担来对抗“野蛮”穆斯林的政策合法化。第二部分“诗歌”包括反映 9/11 前后在犹太复国主义、帝国主义和原教旨主义背景下对战争、社会不公正和恐怖主义的痛苦、痛苦和恐惧的诗歌。第三部分“新闻”是由穆斯林女记者和记者撰写的,她们讨论了媒体对伊斯兰教和穆斯林的误传,并反驳了一些关于穆斯林和穆斯林妇女的刻板印象和形象。他们倡导负责任的记者如何努力启发人们了解伊斯兰教并在穆斯林和非穆斯林之间建立对话。在第四部分“宗教话语”中,美国穆斯林女权主义者讨论了《古兰经》中关于妇女的观点、她们的经济权利、工作权利和继承权。作者澄清了文化规范和伊斯兰法律之间的差异。了解妇女权利
Shattering the Stereotypes: Muslim Women Speak Out is a collection of academic and non-academic pieces written by Muslim women in the United States and addresses the most controversial questions surrounding Muslim women post-9/11. In the introduction, Afzal-Khan lays out her two goals: to bring together and juxtapose the diverse views of Muslim women despite diff erences between their outlooks, histories, and cultures, and to enlighten readers about diversities between Muslim women and reveal complexities in order to challenge the monolithic image of Muslim women constructed and institutionalized as the body of knowledge in the West. Shattering the Stereotypes is an anthology, unlike many others on the topic of Muslim women, and is divided into six parts. In the fi rst, “Non-fi ction,” several non-academic and academic essays critically analyze the general stereotyping of Muslims as fundamentalist and terrorist and Muslim women as oppressed victims. Th e book’s claim is that this stereotyping has created a stronger dichotomy of “us” against “them,” legitimizing the Judeo-Christian policies of carrying the burden of “civilization” against “barbarian” Muslims through the war on terror and the emancipation of Muslim women from their Islamic bondage. Th e second section, “Poetry,” includes poems refl ecting the pain, anguish, and fears about war, social injustice, and terrorism within the context of Zionism, imperialism, and fundamentalism, before and aft er 9/11. Th e third section, “Journalism,” is written by Muslim women journalists and reporters who discuss the misrepresentation of Islam and Muslims in the media and counter some of the stereotypes and images about Muslims and Muslim women. Th ey advocate how responsible journalists can work toward enlightening people about Islam and establishing a dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims. In the fourth section, “Religious Discourse,” American Muslim feminists discuss the Qur anic view of women, their fi nancial rights, their right to work, and inheritance. Th e authors clarify the diff erences between cultural norms and Islamic law. To understand women’s rights
