Muslim American feminism’s role in social justice

Dr. Sylvia Chan Malik joins us today to talk about social justice as achieved and achievable in America through the work of Black Muslim women, or first mothers in this country. As an American historian, Dr. Chan Malik shares her study of race, religion and gender as agents of change, and how Muslim moms can leverage their identities to force equity and equality still missing in our social fabric.For those of us with biases about Nation of Islam, buckle up as we talk about her insightful book that taught us a lot of what we DON’T know. For anyone who shakes her head at liberal feminism, this may be the conversation she needs to hear. Finally, listen to how we apply our collective history to what else we model and teach at our kitchen tables.Links:https://youtu.be/NrB8Iamo0OADr. Chan-Malik online: https://sylviachanmalik.com/Purchase Being Muslim: https://nyupress.org/9781479823420/With Stones in Our Hands anthology: https://www.amazon.com/Stones-Our-Hands-Writings-International/dp/0816696128Leila Ahmed’s book Dr. Malik mentions Women and Gender in Islam: https://www.amazon.com/Women-Gender-Islam-Historical-Modern/dp/0300055838Watch “The Hate That Hate Produced” (1958): https://youtu.be/BsYWD2EqavQ Web: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: [email protected]: Mommying While Muslim page and Mommyingwhilemuslim groupIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastDid you know you can send us a text?
