Voices of Resistance

Voices of Resistance


In Voices of Resistance, writers, poets, and visual artists work to redefine the stereotypical depictions of Muslim women that inundate current Western discourse on the Islamic "other." By confronting war, empire, homophobia, and patriarchy, the contributors explore topics both personal and global, and challenge the narrow perceptions about the contemporary realities of Muslim women.


"A beautifully crafted testament to the courage, reflexivity, and spirit of Muslim women's resistance to the injustices ad violence of wars from Palestine to the U.S."

-Chandra Talpade Mohanty
professor of Women's Studies, Syracuse University,
and author of Feminism Without Borders

"Voices of Resistance is a noisy, proud collection of Muslim women writing with boundless energy and enormous creativity. Sometimes it's angry. Other times it's introspective. Mostly it's about faith, faith that a world free from racism and sexism and defined by justice is not just possible but absolutely necessary."

-Moustafa Byoumi
