Violence and gender in the "new Europe"Islam in German culture /
Weber, Beverly M.

Violence and gender in the "new Europe"Islam in German culture /[electronic resource] :Beverly M. Weber. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,c2013. - 1 online resource. - Studies in European culture and history. - Studies in European culture and history..

Introduction: Undoing the connections between Muslim violence, culture and secularism -- A regime of gender violence: honor killings, familial violence, and muslim women's subjectivities -- Contentious headscarves: cleaning woman, forbidden schoolteacher, Hijab martyr -- Troubling headscarves: covering, artistic reconfigurations of public space, and the Muslim woman's body -- Freedom to imagine the world: violence and the writing of self -- Violent authenticities: the work of Emine Sevgi �Ozdamar and Feridun Zaimoglu.

Images of covered women, together with stories of honor killings and forced marriages, continue to retain their currency in media representations of Islam. Moving beyond staid stereotypes, "Gender and Violence in the "New" Europe" draws new conclusions about the role of violence in determining Muslim women's participation in German public life. Combining cultural studies with theory, Beverly Weber contributes to the ongoing scholarly discussion about Islam in the West in two key ways. First, she demonstrates how current thinking about gender violence prohibits the intellectual inquiry necessary to act against a range of forms of violence. Secondly, she analyzes ways in which Muslim women participate in the public sphere by thematizing violence in literature, art, and popular media. By examining how violence is imagined, portrayed, and challenged, this timely book provides new strategies for action.
