Description
Deniz Kandiyoti examines the complex relationship between Islam, state projects, and women's roles in modern nation states of the Middle East and South Asia.
The author argues that Islam is not uniform across Muslim societies and that understanding women's roles cannot be reduced to texts and laws alone. Instead, she focuses on the impact of state projects on women's lives.
