520 "In Cairo in the 1940s, Leila Ahmed was raised by a
generation of women who never dressed in the veils and
headscarves their mothers and grandmothers had worn. To
them, these coverings seemed irrelevant to both modern
life and Islamic piety. Today, however, the majority of
Muslim women throughout the Islamic world again wear the
veil. Why, Ahmed asks, did this change take root so
swiftly, and what does this shift mean for women, Islam,
and the West? When she began her study, Ahmed assumed that
the veil's return indicated a backward step for Muslim
women worldwide. What she discovered, however, in the
stories of British colonial officials, young Muslim
feminists, Arab nationalists, pious Islamic daughters,
American Muslim immigrants, violent jihadists, and
peaceful Islamic activists, confounded her expectations.
Ahmed observed that Islamism, with its commitments to
activism in the service of the poor and in pursuit of
social justice, is the strain of Islam most easily and
naturally merging with western democracies' own tradition
of activism in the cause of justice and social change. It
is often Islamists, even more than secular Muslims, who
are at the forefront of such contemporary activist
struggles as civil rights and women's rights. Ahmed's
surprising conclusions represent a near reversal of her
thinking on this topic. Richly insightful, intricately
drawn, and passionately argued, this absorbing story of
the veil's resurgence, from Egypt through Saudi Arabia and
into the West, suggests a dramatically new portrait of
contemporary Islam."--Publisher's description.
