{"product_id":"idea-of-women-in-fundamentalist-islam","title":"Idea of Women in Fundamentalist Islam","description":"In an attempt to create a working prevalent theory about gender in Islam, this work deconstructs the religio-political writings and political practices of the nine Islamic ideologies of the 20th century who masterminded the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism - Hasan al-Banna, Abu al-'la al-Mawdudi, Sayyid Qutb, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Ayatollah Mortaza Mutahhari, Zaynab al-Ghazali, Hasan al-Turabi, Rashid al-Ghannoushi, and Sheikh Hussein Fadlallah. It shows that although these ideologies have individual peculiarities, their consistent emphasis on the subordinate status of women in society and their relation to men constitute a vehicle for attaining political power. By examining the spectrum of 20th century Islamic fundamentalist discourse on the subordinate role of women, this work builds a bridge between political ideology and gender theory. It determines how the diversity of political, social, and economic domains within the discourse of the nine ideologies - male or female, Sunni or Shi'ite, radical or moderate - applies to gender relations, and whether their discourse is distinctive or remains within the classical or traditional mould of Islam.","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56240292004184,"sku":"9780813026060","price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780813026060_a41563ec-4fcf-4cad-b9f5-2d2f61568661.jpg?v=1777866344","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/idea-of-women-in-fundamentalist-islam","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
