Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter focuses on women members of the Sunnī-dominated national organization Sweden's Young Muslims (Sveriges Unga Muslimer, SUM) and some of its local youth associations in different Swedish towns, to argue that involvement with these associations is increasing Muslim women's engagement with mosques and other venues for acquisition of Islamic knowledge. Illuminating the continuous challenges to the women's presence in mosques and their wider public activism the chapter examines how these women defend their right to exercise religious authority while supporting the traditional sources of Muslim authority in the public sphere. It analyzes how the women reinterpret the Islamic texts to change their daily lives as well as their position within both the Muslim community and Swedish society as a whole. The chapter emphasizes that in more informal situations, backstage among peers, the women put gender on the agenda, initiate reflexive deliberations, and test alternative norms and practices.

Diversity and the Politics of Visibility among Young Muslim Women in Sweden
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Becoming key symbols for diversity in Norden, young Muslims are struggling for recognition as full citizens while reclaiming their senses of multifaceted identities and belongings. This paper examines young women who act and speak as ‘Muslims’ in Sweden, either by engaging in Muslim youth organizations or through actively engendering public visibility through frequent media appearances. Drawing on ethnological fieldwork, the paper illuminates how these young women are affected by various politics of visibility and representation. The analysis revolves around three central arguments: 1) there has been a shift from adult Muslim men and women converts as public front-figures, to the young ones now inhabiting this representative position; 2) particularly young women are involved in such ‘identity politics’, which leads beyond the frames of their local youth associations and into TV studios and other mass media; 3) these women’s fashion looks are being developed and made public in close relation to mass media.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, women establish religious authority as they are appointed leaders in Muslim youth associations. Their commitment is intertwined with identity politics, leading their activism out beyond the mosques and classrooms and into civic centres and television studios.
