Beyond the decolonial? Decolonial and Muslim feminist perspectives

Patricia Noxolo,

Safiya Hamis

Abstract: Sidaway's article is provocative in its agenda to go beyond the decolonial. In this commentary, we consider the implications of this move in relation to decolonial geographies and Muslim feminism. We conclude by considering questions of identity and reflexivity that arise from decolonial and feminist perspectives.

A manifesto for critical Muslim geographies

In reflecting on the generous commentaries in this forum, I reconsider the prospects for emergent Critical Muslim Geographies. I frame my responses to the insights, challenges, thresholds, and research alliances they channel via ‘a manifesto for Critical Muslim Geographies’. The move I advocate draws on the corpus of critical geography, is informed by the developing field of Critical Muslim Studies, thinks with traditions of Islamic ilm (knowledge and learning), and strives for an adept, committed, and visible community of Muslim scholars in geography This enables approaches to the ‘decolonial’ from other sites. The commentators have noted my intent to both recharge and go beyond decolonial geographies, also pulling connections with other literatures.

The fragmented sovereignty of the ummah: A response to Sidaway's manifesto

In this commentary, I engage with Sidaway's manifesto by exploring the implications of the spatiality of the ummah for political geography and what this could mean for future research agendas. I argue that feminist geographical contributions offer an important pathway to discuss the spatial implications in Muslim geographies, because they are useful in critically approaching the political dimension of Muslim geographies, particularly the question of sovereignty. Building on my own research on Muslim family law in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, I highlight the centrality of the concept of sovereignty as well as the question of positionality for a decolonial research agenda of Muslim geographies.
