Arab American Women, Identity, and Intersectionality: Identity and Intersectionality

By Jasmine Kaduthodil, Reima Shakeir, Sharon M. Ravitch

Arab American Women, Identity, and Intersectionality extends postcolonial feminist theory to include intersectionally marginalized bodies in the classroom and in social science discourse. In a climate where the Arab, Muslim, woman's identity is both policed and politicized, Shakeir examines the ways in which Arab American Muslim women navigate the public space, from the university to their professional lives. Authenticity, self-policing, and performance are all examined intergenerationally, to reflect on the survivance of the Arab identity across both decades and oceans. The book acts equally as a methodological and instructional guide for students and theorists, and also uses first-person testimonials and stories from Arab American Muslim women for anyone willing to expand their perspective.
