Finding A Jewel: Identity And Gendered Space In Islamic Finance, Karen Ahmed Dec 2010

Finding A Jewel: Identity And Gendered Space In Islamic Finance, Karen Ahmed

Karen Hunt Ahmed

In this article, I explore how globalization discourses practices work together to form the identities of female Islamic bankers working in the first stand-alone women’s Islamic bank in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. An Islamic bank interacts with the individual by providing a discursive and physical space in which the subject can shape and respond to her desire to identify and engage with the debates in the global Muslim community about morality, practice and the role of Islam in every day life.

Inequalities Of Crime, Kathleen Daly, Robyn Lincoln Dec 2005

Inequalities Of Crime, Kathleen Daly, Robyn Lincoln

Robyn Lincoln

We then turn to the image that criminologists have of inequalities of people and the ways they explain the disproportionate presence of disadvantaged groups in the criminal justice system. This image, which we term the familiar analysis of inequality, focuses on class, and to a lesser extent, on race/ethnicity and age.
