    BOEH! Baas over eigen hoofd

    No full text
    Abstract: Als feministisch en antiracistisch collectief strijdt BOEH! (Baas Over Eigen Hoofd!) voor het recht op zelfbeschikking van iedere vrouw over haar eigen doen en laten, over haar lichaam en leven. Het recht om in alle vrijheid zelf de keuze te maken om al dan niet een hoofddoek te dragen staat daarbij centraal. Ontstaan uit de protestactie tegen het Antwerpse hoofddoekenverbod voor stadsambtenaren in 2007, heeft BOEH! als feitelijke vereniging van vrijwilligers een unieke positie ingenomen in de intersectionele emancipatiestrijd van vrouwen van kleur en vrouwen die tot een religieuze minderheid behoren. Dit boek kijkt terug op dat afgelegde parcours waarin de organisatie naast het opzetten van vernuftige sensibiliseringsacties ook juridische acties ondernam tegen de schending van het recht van vrouwen op de uitoefening van hun religieuze vrijheid. Aan de hand van inspirerende essays, literaire bijdragen en illustraties blikt het boek terug op dat verleden en kijkt het vooruit naar de toekomst. Met bijdragen van Aya Sabi, Amina Belorf, Anissa El Boujdaini, Yousra Benfquih, Fikry El Azzouzi, Samira Saleh, Rachida Lamrabet, Sarah Bracke, Nella van den Brandt, Samira Azabar, Ida Dequeecker, Anna Vleeshouwers, Sarah El Massaoudi ..

    Good Muslims, good citizens? An intersectional approach to Muslims' everyday (hidden) resistance tactics in Belgium

    No full text
    Abstract: This paper explores Muslim participants' political endeavours, aiming to tackle their marginalization in a secular racialized environment. Drawing on critical race scholarship (Du Bois), resistance studies (de Certeau, Scott) and lived experiences captured by in-depth interviews with Muslims in Belgium, I focus on everyday hidden resistance tactics enacted by my research subjects to challenge the status quo. I find my research participants aiming to counter racialization through everyday (hidden) practices such as reversing the Muslim gaze, modelling their religious behaviour as a form of da'wa and building up a counterpower to achieve recognition as citizen. Second, this study shows the salience of Du Bois' notion of double consciousness - or Muslim participants seeing themselves through the eyes of the dominant group - shaping subordinate forms of political resistance
