The female protester who is Muslim, though, has been subject to a legacy of discrimination. \u003ci\u003eSuperheroes in the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e: Muslim Women Activists and Protest in the Digital Age \u003c\/i\u003efollows the stories of both famous and grassroots Muslim female protestors, bringing careful attention to protest modes and online national icons. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUS Muslim women have long navigated public and digital spaces aware of the complex and nuanced histories that trail them. Given the pervasive influence of mainstream feminism, Muslim women activists are often made out to be damsels in distress. Even when mass media turns its attention to the activism of Muslim women, persistence of these false narratives demeans their culture and hypersexualizes their bodies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing the stories of US Muslim women activists, author Kimberly Wedeven Segall shows how they have been reinventing the streets and remaking racialized codifications. Segall highlights their creativity in crafting protest media of posters, rap rally songs, and digital images of superheroes, carving public spaces into inclusive and digital territories. Each chapter teases apart the complexities of public banners and digital activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Wedeven Segall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Race, Rhetoric, and Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496850379","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45046543319177,"sku":"9781496850379","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_22311644-67de-4b3b-a5fc-5226668e7ebb.jpg?v=1765400962","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/superheroes-in-the-streets-muslim-women-activists-and-protest-in-the-digital-age-9781496850379","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
