By closely reading and examining examples of ummah-building strategies in interfaith dialogues, exchanges, and encounters between Muslim and non-Muslim women in a selection of African and Southeast Asian fictions and essays, this book highlights women''s assertive activisms to redefine transnationalism, understood as relationships across national boundaries, as transgeography. \u003ci\u003eUmmah\u003c\/i\u003e-building strategies shift the space of, or respatialize, transnational relationships, focusing on connections between communities, groups, and affiliations within the same nation. Such a respatialization also enables a more equitable and inclusive remediation of the citizenship of gendered and religious citizens to the nation-state and the transnational sphere of relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039776735575,"sku":"9781438486383","price":24.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781438486383.jpg?v=1750944802","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-space-of-the-transnational-9781438486383","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
