The Matrix of Gendered Islamophobia: Muslim Women’s Repression and Resistance

Abstract: Drawing on 75 semi-structured qualitative interviews with Arab, South Asian, and Black Muslim women social justice activists, ages 18–30 years, organizing in the United States and the United Kingdom, I theorize their experiences as the basis of the matrix of gendered Islamophobia. Building upon Jasmine Zine’s concept of gendered Islamophobia, I synthesize this concept with Patricia Hill Collins’s theory of the matrix of domination to give a more in-depth and nuanced structure of how gendered Islamophobia opera… Show more

“…Providing a more nuanced understanding of gendered Islamophobia operating along multiple domains of power, Alimahomed-Wilson, (2020) depicted how Muslim women activists collectively transform hegemonic structures by raising awareness of their unique social positions and redefining prevailing discourses and practices. Through examining the different ways Australian Muslim women resist anti-Islamic and patriarchal representations, Ali and Sonn (2017) also revealed how Muslim women break free from conceptual boundaries that singularize their identity and highlight the diversity in which they negotiate and express their subjectivities as shaped by complex power relations arising at the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality.…”

“…Their visibility makes Muslim women the target of specific hate crimes, as well as of hate speech (Seta 2016) both because of their gender as of their religion. Although the intersection has not yet fully and exhaustively theorized and explored (Alimahomed-Wilson 2020), Islamophobia is evidently gendered (Zine 2006, Perry 2014). The case of Muslim women can be taken as exemplary ‘convergence’ that creates an identity, to use again Raynaud’s words.…”

“…Det finnes mindre kunnskap om når slike holdninger omsettes til handlinger, og lite om hva slags hets norske muslimer opplever (Eggebø & Stubberud, 2016). Vi vet også lite om hvordan de som utsettes for muslimhets, reagerer på den (men se Frisina, 2010;Alimahomed-Wilson, 2020).…”
