Mainstreaming the Headscarf
Islamist Politics and Women in the Turkish Media Esra Özcan, Tulane University, USA Turkey has gone through an enormous transformation in the last decade under the rule of the AKP, including more restrictive gender policies. This book looks at conservative gender politics through the lens of images of women’s headscarves in secular and Islamic news media after 2002. Conservative women as political actors have rarely been studied in any country, and this book is the first analysis of the transformation of visual culture under the AKP governments. As well as examining women’s roles and political activity, the book provides a deeper understanding of the current politics and emerging authoritarianism in Turkey.

Law, Society and Activism
The most important international instrument for ensuring women’s rights is the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), yet Iran is not yet a party to this. Leila Alikarami examines here the extent to which the actions of women’s rights activists since 1979 has led to a significant and tangible change in the legal status of women in Iran. Alikarami is a lawyer and human rights advocate and was a participant and activist in many of the events she describes.

Civil Society, Feminism and Politics
Civil society is often seen as male, structured in a way that excludes women from public and political life. But scholars and activists are currently trying to update this view by looking at women’s positions in civil society and women’s activism. This book is based on interviews with women activists from ten women’s organizations in Turkey. Foregrounding the voices of women, the book answers the question "How do women’s NGOs contribute to civil society in the Middle East?” UK July 2021 • US July 2021 • 224 pages PB 9780755643745 • £28.99 / $39.95 Previously published in HB 9781788310130 ePub 9781786726315 • £81.00 / $106.83 ePdf 9781786736376 • £81.00 / $106.83 I.B.

Gender and Islam
Gender, Agency and Influence
How realistic is the prospect of peace in the Muslim world? This question is the predominant focus for global analysis today, but its debate frequently ignores the cultural and social complexity of the Muslim world, reducing it into a system of states and select actors. This book addresses such a failing by exploring how the everyday interactions of women, in accordance with Islamic personal ethics, can offer the world a new interpretation of peace. Drawing upon original research from different parts of the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, including Iran, India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Egypt and Sudan, the contributors offer a refreshing new look at Muslim women as peacemakers, challenging any assumptions of Islam as an inherently violent religion. Such a timely work provides new and important analyses on the role of Muslim women in forging new pathways of peace in the contemporary world.
