| Summary: | This article aims to retrace the history of the emergence of the "gender jihad" in South Africa in the decades of the 1980s and 1990s, within the broader context of the anti-apartheid struggle. Special attention will be devoted to the figure of Shamima Shaikh (1960-1998) and her crucial role, as National Coordinator of the Muslim Youth Movement of South Africa (MYM)'s Gender Desk, in campaigning for women’s equal access to mosque spaces. The impact of the historic sermon delivered by amina wadud at Cape Town's Claremont Main Road Mosque on August 12th 1994 will also be discussed. By casting light on the intellectual references, socio-political concerns and strategies of actions of the South African gender jihad, this article aims to provide the reader with an example of the complex interaction between the local and the global, the "margins" and the "center", in the construction of modern Islamic discourses. |
