Drawing on interviews and examples from around the world including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Europe, and North America, Shakira Hussein shows how this shift in attitude has taken place and how it impacts feminism, multiculturalism, race, and religion on a global scale. She argues that alongside the fear of Islamic terrorism is a growing fear of Islam as a cultural hazard that is undermining Western society from within. Muslim women, the transmitters of cultural practices, are frequently seen to play a key role in this. Hussein's work makes for a compelling read, offering a unique perspective on what it means to be a Muslim woman post-9/11. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Afghan girls -- Candle in the wind -- Shifting perceptions -- Proxy wars -- Invisible menace -- "Jihadi brides" and chicks with sticks -- Conclusion. 611 27 $a War on Terrorism (2001-2009) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754980 650 0 $a Muslim women $z Australia $x History. 650 0 $a Muslim women $z Australia $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105022411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC171324CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
