It examines their interaction with civil society and state institutions to provide an understanding of their development as political actors. The authors argue that Muslim women?s participation is expressed at the intersections of the groups and society to which they belong. In Britain and France, their political attitudes and behaviour are influenced by their national/ethnic origins, religion and specific features of British and French societies. Thus three main spheres of action are identified: the ethnic group, religious group and majority society. Unequal, gendered power relations characterise the interconnection(s) between these spheres of action. Muslim women are positioned within these complex relations and find obstacles and/or facilitators governing their capacity to act politically. The authors suggest that Muslim women?s interest in politics, knowledge of it and participation in both institutional and informal politics is higher than expected. This book will appeal to students and scholars of politics, sociology, gender studies and social anthropology, and will also be of use to policy makers and practitioners in the field of gender and ethno-religious/ethno-cultural policy. 410 0$aGender and Politics,$x2662-5814 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical communication 606 $aGender identity?Religious aspects 606 $aEuropean Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130 606 $aPolitical Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911030 606 $aReligion and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8030 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical communication. 615 0$aGender identity?Religious aspects. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Communication. 615 24$aReligion and Gender. 676 $a320.94 700 $aJoly$b Daničle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0772511 702 $aWadia$b Khursheed$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255293603321 996 $aMuslim Women and Power$92282970 997 $aUNINA
