Contextualising the Debate in Women's Reality: Shari'a Law Contested -- Conclusion: Time for a Paradigm Shift. 330 $a"In response to recent media controversy and public debate about legal pluralism and multiculturalism, Manea argues against what she identifies as the growing tendency for people to be treated as 'homogenous groups' in Western academic discourse, rather than as individuals with authentic voices. Building on her knowledge of the situation for women in Middle Eastern and Islamic countries, she undertakes first-hand analysis of the Islamic shari'a councils and Muslim arbitration tribunals in various British cities. Based on meetings with the leading sheikhs - including the only woman on their panels - as well as interviews with experts on extremism, lawyers and activists in civil society and women's rights groups, Manea offers an impassioned critique of legal pluralism, connecting it with political Islam and detailing the lived experiences of women in Muslim communities."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aConflict of laws (Islamic law)$zGreat Britain 606 $aIslamic law$zGreat Britain 606 $aLegal polycentricity$zGreat Britain 606 $aReligion and law$zGreat Britain 606 $aWomen (Islamic law)$zGreat Britain 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zGreat Britain 606 $2Islamic law 615 0$aConflict of laws (Islamic law) 615 0$aIslamic law 615 0$aLegal polycentricity 615 0$aReligion and law 615 0$aWomen (Islamic law) 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a301.4120942 700 $aMa?ni?$b Ilha?m$01213023 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150290803321 996 $aWomen and Shari'a law$92801274 997 $aUNINA
