"Bayes and Tohidi have brilliantly analyzed the new and important
phenomenon of international cooperation between conservative
Muslims and Catholics on questions relating to women and gender.
They have edited a highly useful and informative collection of
articles on Catholic and Muslim women in many parts of the world
today." --Nikki Keddie, UCLA
"This is a volume of great timeliness and importance. Jane H. Bayes
and Nayereh Tohidi have recognized the emerging global political
alliance between representatives of authoritarian fundamentalisms
who make religion the basis of their authority and for whom the
attack on women's civil and sexual equality is the central testing
ground. This alliance cuts across East and West, North and South.
The primary players in this alliance are conservative Muslims and
Catholics (especially the Vatican), with progressive Muslims and
Catholic NGOs organized on the other side. It is a conflict that
has been played out in social policy assemblies of the United
Nations, but which reflects a deeper clash of cultures within
rather than between regions of the world. This is a "must" book for
those who wish to understand how gender and religion configure the
global conflict of cultures today." --Rosemary Radford Ruether,
Georgia Harkness Professor of Applied Theology at Garrett
Theological Seminary
