Beschreibungen
Negotiating Development in Muslim Societies explores the negotiation processes of global development concepts such as poverty alleviation, human rights, and gender equality. It focuses on three countries which that are undergoing different Islamisation processes: Senegal, Sudan, and Malaysia. While much has been written about the hegemonic production and discursive struggle of development concepts globally, this book analyzes the negotiation of these development concepts locally and translocally. Lachenmann and Dannecker present empirically grounded research to show that, although women are instrumentalized in different ways for the formation of an Islamic identity of a nation or group, they are at the same time important actors and agents in the processes of negotiating the meaning of development, restructuring of the public sphere, and transforming the societal gender order.
Through networking and globalized modes of interaction and communication, women's organizations in Muslim countries negotiate global development concepts such as human rights and gender equality, thereby differentiating and reconstructing local visions of muslim society and popularizing new gender concepts. This comparative study highlights the diversity of Islamic identities and Muslim women's concepts of development, particularly regarding gender constructs.
