Description
Summary:The paper shows the potential for cultural innovation of Islamic feminism as proposed by Fatima Mernissi in the specific post-war context of contemporary Bosnia. The specific historical experience of Bosnian Islam in the twentieth century has to be taken into account. The transformative potential of Islamic feminism reaches from a renewed sense of agency for Bosniak Muslim women to the questioning of exclusionary ethnonationalist discourses and the possibility to empower victims of rape and violence in their healing process. At a deeper level, Islamic feminism may contribute to solve the fundamental paradox of the Bosniak nation attempting to defend the multiethnic essence of Bosnia.
