ajiss-1105	Piela, Anna	Muslim Diaspora in the West: Negotiating Gender, Home, and Belonging By Haideh Moghissi and Halleh Ghorashi, eds. (Farnham, UK: Ashgate Publishing Ltd., 2011. 228 pages.)	2013.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1139	35	37	The focus on gender, home, and belonging em- phasizes the particular challenge faced by Muslim women: Their bodies are the battleground for the ideological wars fought by western governments on the one hand, and by political Islamists on the other (pp. 30-31). Many chapters, for example Farkhani’s, Balchin’s, Farkhondeh’s, Buitelaar and Stock’s, and Moghissi’s, demonstrate clearly that Muslim women who participated in their research effectively defy the stereotype of silent, passive women who are prevented from exerting their agency by patriarchal religious men; however, these essays are careful and nuanced in that they identify creative and original strategies developed by these women to negotiate their multi-layered identities.	cache/ajiss-1105.pdf	txt/ajiss-1105.txt
