Beskrivning
Based on extensive fieldwork data, Daesh Ideology and Women's Rights in the Maghreb argues that Daesh's radicalized gender regime does not only target Western modernity; it also targets a homegrown modernity in the Maghreb. While the former is historically built on the exclusion of religion, the latter is built on the reform of Islamic law. Women's legal rights in the Maghreb constitute a solid entry point to examine and explain the rise of Daesh ideology in the Maghreb. While the book situates various informants within a larger political history, it prioritises conceptual ideology and aims to understand the depth and effect of this ideology.

Mer om författaren

Fatima Sadiqi is Professor of Linguistics and Gender Studies at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco, and has a longstanding academic association with Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in Fez, Morocco. Her research brings together theoretical linguistics, Amazigh language studies, language and gender, feminist thought, and the intellectual histories of North Africa. She has made major contributions to the study of language, gender, and women’s agency in Morocco and the wider Maghreb, including research on Amazigh women’s knowledge, linguistic practices, and the relationship between language, power, and social change. Her books include Women, Gender and Language in Morocco (2003), Moroccan Feminist Discourses (2014), Women and the Codification of the Amazigh Language (2024), and Daesh Ideology and Women’s Rights in the Maghreb: A Reaction to Homegrown Modernity (2025). Her current research explores North Africa as a site of theory, multilingual epistemologies, and Afro-Amazigh relational epistemology. She has also played a pioneering role in developing gender studies and research institutions in Morocco and has held international research fellowships and academic leadership positions.

Recensioner i media

This is an innovative book in the study of gender and political groups. Sadiqi addresses the puzzling question of what pushed young men and women to risk their lives and willingly join Daesh. Combining a thorough historical and cultural analysis of the Maghreb with interviews, the book offers unique insights into Daesh ideology and how it was received – an invaluable contribution and a must read!
