A new magazine has been launched by feminist academics to discuss gender and religious fundamentalism.
Feminist Dissent, published out of Warwick University, follows in the tradition of Women Against Fundamentalism, a network of writers, thinkers an activists formed in 1989 in response to Ayatollah Khomeini’s fatwa against author Salman Rushdie.
The journal held a launch event at the Rich Mix Shoreditch in London on 22 July, organised by the South Asian Women’s Creative Collective, (SAWCC, pronounced ‘saucy’), where gender and religion were explored through music, comedy and debate.
Feminist Dissent promises to challenge mainstream thinking on secularism, human rights, identity politics and anti-racism from a Left feminist and minority ethnic perspective.
