This book uses everyday consumption as a lens to analyze how South Asian Muslim American women negotiate racial, religious, gendered, classed, and often political identities. In particular, Ternikar examines the use of food and clothing as well as social media accounts among this important immigrant population, offering new insight that goes beyond examining Muslim American women through the lens of hijab. This timely and nuanced interdisciplinary study draws on both sociology of consumption theory and intersectional feminism and will be valuable for courses in gender and women’s studies, sociology of consumption, and women and religion.

This book is a fascinating exploration of the interplay between identity formation and consumption patterns with special focus on food, dress, and social media. But its sophisticated and nuanced description of the mutual impacts of politics, capitalism, and identity formation among South Asian Muslim women goes far beyond debates over clothing and dietary habits. Based on case studies in Chicago, Ternikar reveals women’s agency in both adapting to and maintaining distinct identities within dominant American cultures.
