About the Book

Negotiating Development in Muslim Societies explores the negotiation processes of global development concepts such as poverty alleviation, human rights, and gender equality. It focuses on three countries which that are undergoing different Islamisation processes: Senegal, Sudan, and Malaysia. While much has been written about the hegemonic production and discursive struggle of development concepts globally, this book analyzes the negotiation of these development concepts locally and translocally. Lachenmann and Dannecker present empirically grounded research to show that, although women are instrumentalized in different ways for the formation of an Islamic identity of a nation or group, they are at the same time important actors and agents in the processes of negotiating the meaning of development, restructuring of the public sphere, and transforming the societal gender order.
About the Author: Gudrun Lachenmann is a professor at the Faculty of Sociology, Sociology of Development, and Research Centre, Bielefeld University. Petra Dannecker is professor for Global Studies and Development Sociology at the Faculty of Sociology, Project International Development, at Vienna University, Austria.
