Beskrivning
Facets of Muslim Women in the Deccan: Echoes on Culture, Education, Work, and Health investigates Deccan, a cultural and historical heart of India, with a focus on Muslim women and collects observations and findings in the field focusing on issues of history and culture, family, education, work, and health. It is women who carry the double burden of poverty and discrimination and, as some studies in the various sections show, Deccan is no different. These women, though not a homogeneous group by way of caste, class, religion, or economic activity, share a common struggle against oppression and exploitative conditions. Utilizing primary data, this book delves into topics of culture, family, education, and the feminization of labor in organized sectors.

Recensioner i media

This brilliantly written book takes the reader through a historical, geographical, ethnic, and feminist journey of the Muslim women in the Deccan. At a time when India’s gender indices are at their bleakest, a deep dive into the obstacles that women face provides a holistic perspective that scholars and policy makers need. It is with this understanding that helps find solutions to low work force participation rates, poor political empowerment, and health risks among Indian women today. The sources used for producing this volume are fascinating – old journals, popular magazines, oral recounting, and historical texts. It is an amazingly refreshing addition to literature on the little studied topic of understating Muslim women and the contextual challenges they face.
