Unruly Women: Neocolonialism, Race, and Discrimination

For our first episode of Season 12, Falguni A. Sheth joins RSP editor Andie Alexander to discuss her new book Unruly Women: Race, Neocolonialism, and the Hijab. In this episode, Sheth explores issues of liberalism, racial discrimination, and religious freedom with regard to Muslim women of color and Black Muslim women in the US through a variety of legal case studies. Sheth demonstrates that the exclusion of Muslim women of color and Black Muslim women works to regulate and manage liberal subjects.
