Writing this book has been an enlightening and adventurous journey for me in both intellectual and personal ways. I want to thank all those who have accompanied me on this journey both during my field research in Malaysia as well as back home in Germany and who contributed to making this book possible through their scientific, structural and personal support. I want to thank Prof. Dr. Gudrun Lachenmann for inspiring discussions and committed advice and Prof. Dr. Ursula Müller for her assistance and flexibility. This book was carried out under their guidance. I am especially grateful to my colleagues from the research project “Negotiating Development: Translocal Gendered Spaces in Muslim Societies” Dr. Petra Dannecker, Dr. Nadine Sieveking and Dr. Salma Nageeb. They involved me in the most invigorating intellectual debates and opened up new vistas that I could not have acquired without them.I am deeply indebted to all those who supported me during my field research in Malaysia. Conducting research for the first time in Asia provided me with a truly global perspective on the world. I want to thank, first of all, all those who agreed to be part of this study as interviewees and informants and who shared their thoughts and histories with me for their confidence, commitment, and openness. Furthermore, I want to thank the entire staff of the Sisters in Islam and the Women’s Aid Organisation who hosted me during my stay in Malaysia and who showed me the possibilities of thinking beyond cultural clashes. I want to thank Prof. Dr. Norani Othman, Dr. Rashida Ramli, Dr. Junaenah Sulehan and all others from the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies (IKMAS) and the National University of Malaysia (UKM). My special thanks go to Prof. Dr. Saliha Hassan for not only giving me initial insights into Malaysian civil society but also for opening the doors of her house to me and making me part of her family. And, of course, I am very grateful to my research assistants Phaik Fern Chiok and Dashanti Mohd Shafiee for their scientific, technical and personal support. I also thank Jonathan Harrow for proofreading this study.
