Description

Pious Practice and Secular Constraints explores the everyday ethical struggles faced by women active in orthodox Islamic revival circles as they navigate their quest for a pious lifestyle with the need to counter negative representations of Muslims in mainstream society.

Through fieldwork in France and Germany, Jeanette S. Jouili examines how these women grapple with religious expression, including issues such as wearing a headscarf, prayer times, and maintaining modest interactions between men and women.

The book argues that Muslim moral agency can encourage us to think about the contribution of non-secular civic virtues in shaping a pluralist Europe, even in the face of increasing hostility towards Muslims in Europe.
