Sommario/riassunto |
|
When Muslim women from diverse national and cultural contexts meet one another through transnational dialogue and networking, what happens to their sense of identity and social agency? This is a compelling account of conversations that are bringing new energy and dynamism into women's activism in a world of collapsing distances. |
