ABSTRACT
Within the context of the current global and geo-political landscape and the ‘war on terror,’ competing imaginaries—Western imperialist, Orientalist, imperialist feminist as well as transnational feminist, anti-colonial and Islamic—form a contested terrain of knowledge production upon which the lives, histories and subjectivities of Muslim women are discursively constituted, debated, claimed and consumed through a variety of literary, academic and visual forms of representation.
