Dr. Tazeen Ali joins the Anthropology of Islam Hub to discuss her upcoming book project, Authorizing Women: Islamic Authority at the Women’s Mosque of America with New York University Press. She lays out the gendered and racialized landscape of the U.S. Muslim religious authority and what is and isn’t new about Women’s Mosque of America’s approach to Islamic religious authority in the U.S. Dr. Ali reflects on what it means to authorize the lay American Muslim woman to read and interpret the Qur’an for herself.
