This book examines the use of everyday items such as food, clothing, and social media accounts to offer sociological and intersectional analyses of how religion, race, politics, class, and gender shape, define, and reinforce consumption practices of Muslim American women.

This book uses everyday consumption as a lens to analyze how South Asian Muslim American women negotiate racial, religious, gendered, classed, and often political identities. In particular, Ternikar examines the use of food and clothing as well as social media accounts among this important immigrant population, offering new insight that goes beyond examining Muslim American women through the lens of hijab. This timely and nuanced interdisciplinary study draws on both sociology of consumption theory and intersectional feminism and will be valuable for courses in gender and women’s studies, sociology of consumption, and women and religion.

Farha Bano Ternikar is associate professor of sociology and gender and women’s studies at Le Moyne College.
