Beschreibung:
"This powerful volume gives voice to female Muslim students as they articulate their varied experiences within the landscape of equity, belonging and marginalization in higher education. Using narrative inquiry, Drs. Gossai and Rafie elicit stories that reveal the women's experience of being "othered" and excluded. As one student notes, "In wider society, we are seen as not westernized enough. In the Muslim community, we are seen as too westernized. It's like we don't have any judgment-free zones; we're outsiders no matter what." These women not only reflect on their experiences but also seek to dismantle generalizations about Muslim women as a monolithic entity. Their stories are deeply moving, and this study fosters the nuanced understanding that true inclusivity requires."J.K. Daniels, Dean, Inclusive Excellence, Northern Virginia Community College
