Description
In addition to an autobiographical account of the challenges she faced as a young Muslim immigrant of Moroccan origin who arrived in Quebec in 1994, Asmaa Ibnouzahir also presents an enlightening analysis of questions that often come up in our media about Islam, women and society: “moderate” Muslims, “honour” crimes, the headscarf, Islamic feminism and many others. An Islamist for some and a heretic for others, Asmaa Ibnouzahir shares with us her personal and activist journey that made her the Muslim, feminist and indignant Quebec citizen she is today. Engaged in the socio-political debates that have crossed Quebec over the last decade, on religion, immigration and Quebec values, Asmaa Ibnouzahir delivers an essential testimony that gives unprecedented access to the behind the scenes of these debates. For the past ten years, Asmaa Ibnouzahir has been involved in reflection and social debates around human rights, particularly on issues relating to immigration and religion in the public sphere as well as the status of women in Islam. She has also travelled and worked in more than fifteen countries as a specialist in humanitarian emergency nutrition.
