Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores how Muslim women’s activism unfolds in the context of anti-Muslim racism and Islamism in contemporary Germany. In particular, it identifies both gendered forms of anti-Muslim racism and Islamism encountered by Muslim women’s organizations and ways they respond to it. Drawing on theories of intersectionality and boundary making, this study identifies the most common strategies used to confront anti-Muslim racism and Islamism and their implications for intersectional boundary making. For this purpose, six expert interviews with representatives of major Muslim women’s organizations were conducted and supplemented by data from internet research and participatory observation. Based on a Grounded Theory-inspired approach, the findings show that the responses of Muslim women’s organizations to anti-Muslim racism and Islamism reconfigure group boundaries. They create more inclusive spaces in which boundary formations by religion, race, and ethnicity and gender are transcended.

直面反穆斯林种族主义与伊斯兰主义——德国穆斯林妇女运动的交叉视角

摘要本文探讨了在当代德国反穆斯林种族主义和伊斯兰主义的背景下，穆斯林妇女的激进主义是如何展开的。特别是，它确定了穆斯林妇女组织遇到的反穆斯林种族主义和伊斯兰主义的性别形式及其应对方式。本研究借鉴交叉性和边界划定理论，确定了对抗反穆斯林种族歧视和伊斯兰主义最常见的策略及其对交叉边界划定的影响。为此，对主要穆斯林妇女组织的代表进行了六次专家访谈，并辅以互联网研究和参与性观察的数据。基于扎根理论启发的方法，研究结果表明，穆斯林妇女组织对反穆斯林种族主义和伊斯兰主义的反应重新配置了群体边界。它们创造了更具包容性的空间，超越了宗教、种族、民族和性别的界限。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
