Return to Woman's Identity and the Qur'an: A New Reading Choice "Highly recommended." Middle East Journal "A valuable contribution to the Islamic scholarship-activism explosion of the 21st century"--Middle East Journal Middle East Quarterly "Elegantly written and intelligently argued, this is an exceptional book… In a field littered with the strident, the clumsy, the redundant, the intellectually dishonest, and the overtly partisan, she skirts all those traps with grace and shows a way to move forward the grid-locked discussion over core Islamic values - especially but not only those concerning women." Comparative Education Review …demonstrate[s] through a careful pedagogic reading of the Qur'an that the current discourse on the place of Muslim women in the ummah (the global Islamic community) is fundamentally at odds with the teachings of the Qur'an…Barazangi is not only taking on the entire traditional patriarchal-oriented Muslim ulama but doing so on their own terrain by forcing them to go back to the Qur'an. The Middle East Quarterly Elegantly written and intelligently argued…an exceptional book… Journal of Middle East Woman's Studies " Relevant to the discourse of the fields its author wishes to influence. Barazangi's views should be considered by scholars of Islam and of Islam and gender, for her methods and interpretations are an imoprtant part of current discourse."
