Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this volume comprehensive coverage of South Asian Muslim women's lives and their experiences, historically and contemporaneously, fills a serious gap in the existing scholarship regarding variegated patterns of Muslim communities. The careful selection of key sources with annotations makes these women visible by ending their exclusion from historical studies and the contemporary feminist canon. Also, the translated excerpts from Farsi, Urdu and Bengali languages provide a much-needed English-language source base on South Asian Muslim women. What makes this work unique, compared to similar works, is the extent to which it presents sources that were never put together. The work, thus, is no longer just a bibliography; it moves far beyond what a bibliography is ordinarily conceived to be.
