Know about the book -

Intersectionality in the Muslim South Asian-American Middle Class is written by Farha Bano Ternikar and published by Lexington Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1793649413 (ISBN 10) and 9781793649416 (ISBN 13).

This book uses everyday consumption as a lens to analyze how South Asian Muslim American women negotiate racial, religious, gendered, classed, and often political identities. In particular, Ternikar examines the use of food and clothing as well as social media accounts among this important immigrant population, offering new insight that goes beyond examining Muslim American women through the lens of hijab. This timely and nuanced interdisciplinary study draws on both sociology of consumption theory and intersectional feminism and will be valuable for courses in gender and women's studies, sociology of consumption, and women and religion.
