New Books in Islamic Studies: Interpreting Islam, Modernity, and Women's Rights in Pakistan

In this podcast episode, host SherAli Tareen sits down with Anita Weiss to discuss her book, "Interpreting Islam, Modernity, and Women's Rights in Pakistan" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015). "By exploring how multiple state and non-state actors have engaged the question of gender and women's rights over time and space, Weiss demonstrates ways in which a diversity of voices in Pakistan conduct what she calls "everyday Ijtihad," thus offering a much needed nuanced and informed perspective."
