Sinopsis

This bookáunpacks how the ethical is embodiedáthrough an examination of the lived experiences of female Muslim volunteers in Belgium.áKayikci draws on a wealth of interview material that sheds light on the ethical turn in the anthropology of Islam, exploring how volunteering enables the space and time for Muslim women to commit to both orthodox religious and civic social values.áAs volunteering and interacting (caring) with the society requires careful deliberation of their society and their position as Muslims, and as women in that society, this research unpacks howámultiple belongings of Muslim women in Belgium are negotiated, balanced, and influenced. This analysis revealsáhow the everyday is informed by different epistemological traditions, both the liberal and the Islamic, and how these traditions make the life-worlds of the women.áIslamic Ethics and Female Volunteering will be of interest to academics across religious studies, anthropology, sociology, gender studies and community studies, especially scholars working in the areas of ethics, migration, Muslims in Europe, volunteering and activism.á
