Abstract: | "This book uncovers the stories of care, help, and support that dozens of Ismaili Muslim women have extended to coreligionists against the dislocating effects of wars and forced migration. Focusing on two cohorts of women (one who fled East Pakistan in the early 1970s due to civil war, and the other who was forced to leave East Africa during the same time, when Idi Amin expelled Asians from Uganda and anti-Asian sentiments intensified in Kenya and Tanzania), it tells the tale of how they began the individual and collective work of remaking religious community in the diaspora"-- |
