This book examines Mohja Kahf’s use of parody and allusion in E-mails from Scheherazad to deconstruct Orientalist views of Muslim women. By revisiting historical Islamic figures and rewriting Western literary forms and narratives, Kahf challenges the stereotype of the oppressed Muslim female and reclaims a multifaceted identity.
