Islamic feminism and its discontents: Toward a resolution of the debate

In recent years, postcolonial and feminist theories have had enormous consequences for how development is conceptualized. In light of this, the present paper explores the intersections between postcolonialism, feminism and development. It does so by, first, reviewing the primary issues underpinning postcolonial approaches to development. Secondly, the paper reviews the emergence of postcolonial feminisms and explores the key areas of debate generated by these approaches within development studies.

This issue grows out of the recent work of a number of feminist scholars who have recognized that states, nationalisms, and nations are profoundly gendered. They have attended to the gendered-, class-, and race-based idioms that shape the contours of nationalism, its boundaries, and its

This paper highlights some of the problematic areas in which these institutions are not responding to the needs of women. These findings are based upon the author's work in a committee for the prevention of domestic violence in the Muslim community and upon personal experience of the South Asian culture.
