Description: Submitting to God : Women and Islam in Urban Malaysia, Paperback by Frisk, Sylva, ISBN 0295989254, ISBN-13 9780295989259, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Frisk (Social Anthropology, Göteborg University) argues that, rather than worsening the condition of Malay women, Islamization may have done exactly the opposite--at least for some women. This study of pious women within Kuala Lumpur's affluent Malay middle class shows that these women play an active part in the Islamization process, both through heightened personal religiosity and by organizing and participating in public programs of religious education. Challenging commonly held notions of the nature of Islamization as well as current theories of female agency and power, Frisk argues that these women are transforming the traditionally male-dominated space of the mosque and breaking men's monopoly over positions of religious authority.
