Looking at connections among ethical practices, gender norms, and religious interpretation, Hammer demonstrates how Muslim advocates mobilize a rich religious tradition in community efforts against domestic violence, and identify religion and culture as resources or roadblocks to prevent harm and to restore family peace.Drawing on her interviews with Muslim advocates, service providers, and religious leaders, Hammer paints a vivid picture of the challenges such advocacy work encounters. The insecurities of American Muslim communities facing intolerance and Islamophobia lead to additional challenges in acknowledging and confronting problems of spousal abuse, and Hammer reveals how Muslim anti-domestic violence workers combine the methods of the mainstream secular anti-domestic violence movement with Muslim perspectives and interpretations. Identifying a range of Muslim anti-domestic violence approaches, Hammer argues that at certain times and in certain situations it may be imperative to combat domestic abuse by endorsing notions of "protective patriarchy"-even though service providers may hold feminist views critical of patriarchal assumptions. Hammer links Muslim advocacy efforts to the larger domestic violence crisis in the United States, and shows how, through extensive family and community networks, advocates participate in and further debates about family, gender, and marriage in global Muslim communities.Highlighting the place of Islam as an American religion, Peaceful Families delves into the efforts made by Muslim Americans against domestic violence and the ways this refashions the society at large. Review "Peaceful Families is well written and offers an excellent overview of the ways that Muslim Americans address domestic violence in their communities."---John A. Dick, Ethical Perspectives Review Quote " Peaceful Families examines American Muslim efforts against domestic violence as a way of better understanding how American Muslims become entangled in discourses about Islam in the United States and the globe. Erudite and accessible, this book has a wide scope and will interest anyone working on domestic violence in the United States, on gender relations in Islam or the United States, and on Islam in America. A groundbreaking work." --Kambiz GhaneaBassiri, author of A History of Islam in America Promotional "Headline" This book examines the ways in which the Islamic tradition is invoked by Muslim American organizations whose mission is to stop domestic violence in Muslim American communities.
