As part of the Ottawa Stops Hate Together campaign, City of Ottawa, United for All and Pinecrest-Queens Community Health Centre are honoured to host a discussion with local author Monia Mazigh and Professor Yasmin Jiwani about Monia’s recent book titled Gendered Islamophobia, My Journey with a Scar(f).

Dans le cadre de la campagne Ottawa unis contre la haine, la Ville d’Ottawa, Ici, pour tous et le Centre de santé communautaire Pinecrest-Queensway ont l’honneur d’organiser une discussion avec l’auteure locale Monia Mazigh et la professeure Yasmin Jiwani au sujet du récent livre de Mme Mazigh intitulé Gendered Islamophobia, My Journey with a Scar(f).

A finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award, Non-fiction, 2023, Gendered Islamophobia, My Journey with a Scar(f) is part memoir and part a collection of essays. This passionate book describes Monia’s struggles as a hijab-wearing Muslim woman. Monia was born and raised in Tunisia, where she attended university before coming to Canada as an immigrant. Monia describes her struggles against Islamophobia as it applies to Muslim women, especially those wearing hijab.

Finaliste des Prix littéraires du Gouverneur général, nouvelles, 2023, Gendered Islamophobia, My Journey with a Scar(f) est à la fois un mémoire et un recueil d’essais. Ce livre passionnant décrit les difficultés auxquelles Mme Mazigh a dû faire face en tant que femme musulmane portant un hijab. Mme Mazigh est née et a grandi en Tunisie, où elle a fait des études universitaires avant d’immigrer au Canada. Elle décrit son combat contre l’islamophobie telle qu’elle s’applique aux femmes musulmanes, en particulier celles qui portent le hijab.

Join us to learn about Islamophobia experienced by visibly Muslim women and its impacts on their safety and socio-economic and political life. We will also discuss how we can work towards intervention and stop Islamophobia before and when it shows up.

Joignez-vous à nous pour en savoir plus sur l’islamophobie vécue par les femmes visiblement musulmanes et ses conséquences sur leur sécurité et leurs vies socioéconomique et politique. Nous discuterons également de la façon dont nous pouvons intervenir face à l’islamophobie et y mettre un terme avant qu’elle ne se produise et lorsqu’elle se produit.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Il sera possible d’acheter un exemplaire du livre sur place.

Biography – Monia Mazigh

Yasmin Jiwani - Concordia University

 

“By combining the personal with the empirical, Mazigh walks non-Muslim readers toward empathy through an explanation of the nuances of her experiences and she teaches other Muslim women to believe themselves and recognize their trauma – all the while exposing the bias and power imbalance within Canadian society. [. . .] Gendered Islamophobia reveals that there is much work to be done to ensure Muslim women’s safety in our society. A towering revelation indeed for so short a book.” —Quill & Quire

“Islamophobia in Canada has reached deadly proportions. Statistics show that hate crimes against Muslims continue to grow. But there is an empathy gap that cannot be filled by these numbers. It is only by bearing witness to the stories of those experiencing anti-Muslim racism that Islamophobia becomes real and intelligible to others. Mazigh’s memoir takes aim at the apathy regarding Islamophobia by offering a compelling account of her experience of gendered Islamophobia and the fraught environment this creates for Muslim women. Mazigh deftly and accessibly weaves a sharp political analysis into her storytelling. Her journey as a hijabi challenges the clichéd Orientalist stereotypes of passive and voiceless veiled Muslim women and offers an honest, intimate, and nuanced tale of negotiating gender, faith, and identity in Canada.” —Jasmin Zine, Professor of Sociology and Muslim Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University

 

« En combinant le personnel et l’empirique, Mme Mazigh amène les lecteurs non musulmans à faire preuve d’empathie, tandis qu’elle explique les nuances de son expérience et qu’elle enseigne aux autres femmes musulmanes à croire en elles-mêmes et à reconnaître leur traumatisme, tout en exposant les préjugés et le déséquilibre des pouvoirs au sein de la société canadienne. […] Gendered Islamophobia révèle qu’il reste beaucoup à faire pour veiller à la sécurité des femmes musulmanes dans notre société. Une révélation de taille pour un livre aussi court. » — Quill & Quire

 

« L’islamophobie au Canada entraîne des hostilités meurtrières. Selon les statistiques, les crimes de haine contre les personnes musulmanes continuent d’augmenter. Il y a un manque d’empathie, et l’on ne peut pas régler en citant ces chiffres. Ce n’est qu’en écoutant les histoires de celles et ceux qui subissent le racisme à l’égard des personnes musulmanes que l’on pourra vraiment reconnaître et comprendre l’islamophobie. Les mémoires de Mme Mazigh s’attaquent à l’apathie envers l’islamophobie grâce à un récit fascinant de son expérience de l’islamophobie fondée sur le genre et de l’environnement difficile qu’elle crée pour les femmes musulmanes. Mme Mazigh tisse habilement et de façon accessible une analyse politique acérée dans son récit. Son parcours en tant que musulmane portant le hijab remet en question les clichés orientalistes des femmes musulmanes voilées, passives et sans voix et offre un récit honnête, intime et nuancé sur la négociation des genres, de la foi et de l’identité au Canada ». – Jasmin Zine, professeure de sociologie et d’études islamiques, Université Wilfrid-Laurier
