      abstract = {This book outlines the principal motivations,  opportunities and barriers to Muslim women's political  participation in France and francophone Belgium. Easat-Daas  draws on in-depth comparative contextual analysis along  with semi-structured interview material with women from  France and Belgium who self-identify as Muslim and are  active in a variety of modes of political participation,  such European Parliamentarians, Senators, councilwomen,  trade-union activists and those engaged in grass-roots  political movements. This provides an alternative framing  of Muslim women, removed from the tired and often  exaggerated stereotypes that portray them as passive  objects or sources of threat, instead highlighting their  remarkable resilience and consistent determination. Through  exploring the intersecting fault lines of racial,  Islamophobic and gendered struggles of Muslim women in  these two cases, this book also sheds new light on the role  of 'European Islam', political opportunity structures,  secularism and Muslim women's dress. Amina Easat-Daas is an  Early Career Academic Fellow in the Department of Politics,  People and Place at De Montfort University, UK.},
