Thesis
Sacred texts and identity construction in the Cardiff Muslim community
In my thesis I'm trying to answer the following questions:
1. How religious/ sacred texts which are embedded in certain rituals are used as means in constructing Muslim women identity in Cardiff Muslim community?
2. How women construct themselves through interviews? Do these women consider themselves diasporic? How do they construct their diasporic identity through their interviews with me?
