Footnotes

(1) Although we have found no references to Domestic Violence in the Muslim communities in the U.S., recent references to violence against women in Fundamentalist Regimes in Islamic countries can be understood in terms of their impact on what is happening to Muslim women in the U.S. See here two articles from Resources for Feminist Research, 26, (3/4): (1) Marie-Aimee, Helie-Lucas, Algerian Women at the Edge of Time: New Social Movements Stand Against Fundamentalisms (pp. 213-220) and Azza Eltigani and Mohamed Khaled, State Violence Against Women: A Current Perspective from the Sudan (pp. 221-225).
