Editorial Reviews

Review
Abdullahi An-Na`im - Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law at Emory University"With unwavering focus, clarity and scholarly confidence, Dr. Ali advances our understanding of profound ethical questions far beyond the apologetics and polemics of current Islamic discourse."Ebrahim Moosa - Associate Professor of Islamic Studies in the Department of Religion and director of the Center for the Study of Muslim Networks at Duke University"This is compulsory reading for anyone interested in grappling with the enormously challenging questiond of sexual ethics in contemporary Islam. Ali's approach is courageous without being dismissive; constructive for the present without being condescending to the past."

Product Description
In this lucid and carefully constructed volume, feminist academic Kecia Ali examines classical Muslim texts and tries to evaluate whether a just system of sexual ethics is possible within an Islamic framework.

4.0 out of 5 stars Opening a new field in english understanding, May 18, 2007
By Jeffrey Cohen (St Louis MO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an important contribution to an unknown field in the English speaking world. Most westerners have a negative restrictive view of not only Islam but especially perceive it as sexist and putting its female adherents in a very limiting position (and the pun is somewhat intended).

This book will open up for those who wish to understand an approach very different from western norms. It was not a position which this reviewer necessarily was comfortable with but one which explains, and yes this book even critiques, that world which has been closed to us. Our previous exposure was to the 1001 Arabian Nights which like the Kama Sutra is outside the day to day lives of its followers while perhaps titalating for western readers.

This is a major contribution to the dialogue which must emerge between our society and Islam.
