Given the pervasive influence of mainstream feminism, Muslim women activists are often made out to be damsels in distress. Even when mass media turns its attention to the activism of Muslim women, persistence of these false narratives demeans their culture and hypersexualizes their bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the stories of US Muslim women activists, author Kimberly Wedeven Segall shows how they have been reinventing the streets and remaking racialized codifications. Segall highlights their creativity in crafting protest media of posters, rap rally songs, and digital images of superheroes, carving public spaces into inclusive and digital territories. Each chapter teases apart the complexities of public banners and digital activism.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Ms. Marvel’\u003cbr\u003es Resistance Icon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Online Sport Protest: Nike (Hijabi) Wonder Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Digital Revolts and Riveters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Grassroots Icons: Facebook Resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Solidarity Icons: A Virtual Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion: Digitalizing Wonder Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52607715639576,"sku":"9781496850379","price":60.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/superheroes-in-the-streets-muslim-women-activists-and-protest-in-the-digital-age-hardback-9781496850379","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
