    Manohar Women Islam and Familial Intimacy in Colonial South Asia by Asiya Alam

    Women Islam and Familial Intimacy in Colonial South Asia highlights the rich tradition of protest and defiance among the Muslim women of colonial India. Bringing together a range of archival material including novels pamphlets commentaries and journalistic essays it narrates a history of Muslim feminism conversing with and confronting the dominant and influential narratives of didactic social reform. The book reveals how discussion about marriage and family evoked claims of women's freedom and rights in a highly charged literary and cultural landscape where lesserknown female intellectuals jostled for public space alongside wellknown male social reformers. Definitions of Islamic ethics remained central to these debates and the book illustrates how claims of social obligation religious duty and freedom balanced and negotiated each other in a period of nationalism and reform. By doing so it also illuminates a story of Muslim politics that goes beyond the wellestablished accounts of Muslim separatism and the Pakistan movement. About the Author Asiya Alam is assistant professor of history at Louisiana State Uni­versity. She has published articles on women and Islam in South Asia in Modern Asian Studies and in edited volumes.
