Saskia Warren, "British Muslim Women in the Cultural and Creative Industries" (Edinburgh UP, 2022)
Why is religion important in understanding creative industries? In\xa0British Muslim Women in the Cultural and Creative Industries\xa0(Edinburgh University Press, 2022),\xa0Saskia Warren, a\xa0Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Manchester, presents an analysis of the fashion, digital media, and visual arts industries to show, for the first time, the centrality of faith and religion to any intersectional analysis of contemporary cultural production and consumption. The book uses in depth interviews, as well as a rich and detailed understanding of institutions and trends, to map the unique experiences of British Muslim women. Offering insights as to the barriers and exclusions, as well as the successes and forms of resistance, experienced by this community, the book is essential reading across social sciences and the humanities, as well as for anyone interested in understanding how culture is made today.\n\ufeffDave O'Brien\xa0is Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries, at the University of Sheffield.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
