Feminist Insiders-Outsiders: Muslim Women in Nigeria and the Contemporary Feminist Movement

PREFACE

This book focuses on the feminist roles and place of Muslim women in Islamic organizations in Nigeria. It is strongly felt that the time has come to produce a systematic work on the activeness of Muslim women in Islamic organizations in the country and their feminist aspirations since a single book on the subject is difficult to come by. It examines the brand of feminism of these women, who are playing leading roles in religious, administrative, educational, economic and political spheres in contemporary Nigerian society as well as the Islamic basis for the feminist postulations of these women on the issues they engage with respect to the feminist discourse within the context of the socio-religious conditions of Muslim women in Islamic organizations in Nigeria. It examines in scholarly terms the implications of these women participation in the larger politics of Nigeria as it affects their identity as Muslims, especially on national issues like the administration of the Islamic Law since the re-introduction of capital punishment by the Zamfara state initiative. This book therefore exa~ new brand of Islamic feminist discourse within the context orM~ in Islamic organizations in Nigeria.
