I read about her works in Anna Croegaert’s study on Bosnian Muslim Women, she referenced Lila’s Colonial Feminism. I am currently in Bosnia, where women range anywhere from wearing a niqab to the mini skirt, and the former is more of a social and political advocate than later. After hanging out with all groups I realised sth similar to Lila, these women made a conscious choice to integrate religion and its aspect into its quotidian lives and practices while preserving the intellectualism and emancipation that seems to be more fragile with the West-oriented counterparts. I still have to look more into it. I think this social identity restructuring and integration makes them very complex and unpredictable personas. I have to read this book!
