This review is from: Faith and Freedom: Women's Human Rights in the Muslim World (Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East) (Paperback)

This book provides a wonderful foundation for understanding the cultural norms which allow human rights violations to occur, and the foreign policy implications which allow them to be unnoticed. This book will make you want to change our policies. It enhanced my understanding of the struggles of Muslim women. A definate must read.

This review is from: Faith and Freedom: Women's Human Rights in the Muslim World (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East) (Hardcover)

An excellant record of the link between faith, and religion and human rights. I would suggest that anyone interested in religious rights, women's rights, and the US foreign policy response to these issues, read this book.
