Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this social history of African American Muslim polygyny, Debra Majeed sheds light on the struggles of families whose form and function conflict with US civil law. Majeed situates African American Muslims in the centre of this dialogue on polygyny, examining the choices available to women in these relationships and the scope of their rights. |
