Abdullah, Tazin
Not Without Her Make-Up |
|
|
This is a satire written to mimic articles,
reports and stories generally written about Muslim
women by women from Western non-Muslim backgrounds.
It is, to some extent, an attempt to convey to
the readers how it feels to be ’othered’ and to be judged
superficially in accordance with only one’s own perceptions. |
