Leila Aboulela’sMinaret is a challenge to write back to the center and the margin in the sense that it seeks to correct Western Orientalist assumptions and to reevaluate the reproduced stereotypes reinforced by first generation Muslim writers about Muslim women. Najwa, the protagonist of Minaret, is an illustration of a Muslim woman who chooses her Islamic faith. Through Najwa’s experience, Aboulela corrects the stereotype that the East is patriarchal and misogynistic because of Islam. She also offers a different conception of freedom that Muslim women embrace, for they see that Western freedom is rather “oppressive”. Western freedom does not answer their individual and particular religious needs. Najwa finds in Islam a reconciling power of her Eastern and Western fragmented self. To her and other Muslim women, among them the writer herself, Islam gives a broader identity that unites different peoples from different places, races, cultures, and genders. |
