Bangladeshi Muslim Women and the Islamic Revival

Santi Rozario

Research program: Culture and Representation

This project investigates the growing involvement of urban Bangladeshi women with purist and "fundamentalist" forms of Islam. A particular focus is the growing adoption of the burqa, previously little used by Bangladeshi women. It is intended to carry out further research on this project, either in the context of the ESRC-funded project on Bangladeshi marriage or with separate funding.
