THE FIRST FEMALE MUSLIM AMERICAN TO MEDAL AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES NAMED ONE OF TIME'S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE Growing up in New Jersey as the only African American Muslim at school, Ibtihaj Muhammad always had to find her own way. When she discovered fencing, a sport traditionally reserved for the wealthy, she had to defy expectations and make a place for herself in a sport she grew to love. From winning state championships to three-time All-America selections at Duke University, Ibtihaj was poised for success, but the fencing community wasn't ready to welcome her with open arms just yet. As the only woman of color and the only religious minority on Team USA's saber fencing squad, Ibtihaj had to chart her own path to success and Olympic glory. Proud is a moving coming-of-age story from one of the nation's most influential athletes and illustrates how she rose above it all.

Amidst a proliferation of scholarly literature about Islam inthe United States, very little attention has been given to sports among MuslimAmericans. While books about professional Muslim athletes can be found, this isthe first book to investigate Muslim American sports at the local level, looking atMuslim basketball leagues, sports programs at mosques and Islamic schools, andsports events hosted by Muslim organizations. Drawing upon personal interviews and observations as well as scholarlysources, this book demonstrates that participation in sports activities plays a vitalrole in strengthening Islamic piety and fellowship, and in connecting Muslims withnon-Muslims in post-9/11 America. Because of these roles, this book places Muslim American sports within thetrajectory of the Muslim "dawah movement, " part of a worldwide revival withparticular momentum for many Muslim Americans since 9/11. Additionally, thebook places Muslim athletic endeavors within the stream of American religioushistory by exploring relationships between these sports activities and those of latenineteenth and early twentieth century Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, and Jews.

"Cet ouvrage est consacré aux arts martiaux de la région de Banten, à l'ouest de l'île de Java, en Indonésie. Ces arts martiaux sont de véritables "initiations rituelles martiales". Celles-ci recouvrent des activités aussi variées que l'entraînement au combat, des danses martiales, des pratiques thérapeutiques, de méditation, de souffle et de concentration, des exercices de renforcement du corps et d'invulnérabilité. De plus, dans les contextes socioreligieux marqués par le soufisme, comme c'est le cas à Banten, pour de nombreux groupes de pratique les initiations sont ultimement orientées vers la religion. Elles sont conçues sur le modèle de la Voie de l'union avec Dieu (tauhid), suivie par certains grands saints musulmans. Notamment, l'exercice aux techniques d'invulnérabilité (localement nommées debus) transmises parallèlement aux techniques de combat, participe de la pratique religieuse musulmane. La catégorie "arts martiaux" peut donc être incluse dans une autre, plus large, qui serait celle d'"initiation rituelle martiale"."--Page 4 of cover.

As Islam's visibility in global society increases, Muslim populations grow, and Muslim countries compete to take up positions at the heart of global sport, the interplay between sport and Islam becomes ever more illuminating. Sport in Islam and in Muslim Communities is the first book to analyse this relationship through a pluralist lens, exploring the questions it raises about contemporary Islam, globalisation, and the challenges faced by (in particular young) Muslims in negotiating their place in global society. With contributions from Muslim and non-Muslim authors, the book approaches an array of contemporary issues, from the role of sport in gender, youth and political identities in Islam and Muslim societies to sport policy in Muslim countries, sport's role among Muslim minorities and sport marketing's relationship to Muslim cultures. Drawing on sociology, anthropology, political science, Islamic studies and sport studies, Sport in Islam and in Muslim Communities not only examines the significance of sport in Islam, but helps to draw wider conclusions on religious identity in sporting settings and the interplay between sport, gender, political ideology and consumer culture.

Examining the global experiences, challenges and achievements of Muslim women participating in physical activities and sport, this important new study makes a profound contribution to our understanding of both contemporary Islam and the complexity and diversity of women's lives in the modern world. The book presents an overview of current research into constructs of gender, the role of religion and the importance of situation, and looks closely at what Islam has to say about women's participation in sport and what Muslim women have to say about their participation in sport. It highlights the challenges and opportunities for women in sport in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries, utilizing a series of extensive case-studies in various countries which invite the readers to conduct cross-cultural comparisons. Material on Iraq, Palestine and Bosnia and Herzegovina provides rare insights into the impact of war on sporting activities for women. The book also seeks to make important recommendations for improving access to sport for girls and women from Muslim communities. "Muslim Women and Sport" confronts many deeply held stereotypes and crosses those commonly quoted boundaries between 'Islam and the West' and between 'East and West'. It makes a fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the interrelationships between sport, religion, gender, culture and policy.
