Refugee Women
Debates over the headscarf and niqab, so-called shari'a tribunals, Female Genital Operations and forced marriages have raged in Europe and North America in recent years, raising the question - does accommodating Islam violate womens rights? This book takes issue with the terms of this debate. It contrasts debates in France over the headscarf and in Canada over religious arbitration with the lived experience of a specific group of Muslim women: Somali refugee women. The challenges these women eloquently describe firsthand demonstrate that the fray over accommodating culture and religion neglects other needs and engenders a democratic deficit.
In Refugee Women: Beyond gender versus culture, new theoretical perspectives recast both the story told and who tells the tale. By focusing on the politics underlying how these debates are framed and the experiences of women at the heart of these controversies, women are considered first and foremost as democratic agents rather than actors in the culture versus gender script. Crucially, the institutions and processes created to address womens needs are critically assessed from this perspective.
Breaking from scholarship that focuses on whether the accommodation of culture and religion harms women, Bassel argues that this debate ignores the realities of the women at its heart. In these debates, Muslim women are constructed as silent victims. Bassel pleads compellingly for a consideration of women in all their complexity, as active participants in democratic life. This book will appeal to students and scholars throughout the social sciences, particularly of sociology, political science and womens studies.
Leah Bassel is New Blood Lecturer in Sociology at Leicester University. Her work, which focuses on the political sociology of gender, migration and citizenship, has been published in journals including Ethnicities, Government and Opposition and Politics & Gender. She is Assistant Editor of Citizenship Studies.
