Counter-Narratives of Muslim American Women: Creating Space for MusCrit (by Noor Ali)

Abstract

In Counter-Narratives of Muslim American Women: Creating Space for
MusCrit, Noor Ali (2022) presents a dominant and necessary contribution
to scholarship on Muslim identity, race, and education. Rooted in
Critical Race Theory (CRT), the book expands the discourse by introducing
Muslim Critical Race Theory (MusCrit), a framework that recognizes
the racialization of Muslim identity in the United States. Through
counter-narratives, Ali amplifies the voices of Muslim women who challenge
and resist systemic Islamophobia, institutional exclusion, and cultural
misrepresentation.
