Muslim/Arab Women Dr. Nimat Hafez Barazangi's fifty years of combined scholarly active work with Arab, Muslim, and non-Muslim organizations and individuals in North America and the Muslim/Arab world has mainly focused on the development and education of Muslim/Arab women in the primary sources of Islam; the Qur'an and the Hadith (Prophet Muhammad's narrated traditions). She published about 50 research articles and book reviews, and a monograph on this subject: Her monograph Woman's Identity and Rethinking the Hadith (Ashgate, Routledge, 2015) received an endorsement stating the book as "brave and passionate plea for Muslim women to reclaim the egalitarian message of their faith, which was eclipsed after the Prophet's death by the exclusion of women from positions of leadership and from participation in the production of religious knowledge;" Her monograph Woman's Identity and the Qur'an: A New Reading (The University Press of Florida, 2004) was labeled by an anonymous reviewer as "the most radical book in the last 14 centuries of Islam." The monograph was translated in 2007 into Arabic under the title: Qira'a Jadida lil Qura'n: Al Huwiya al Dhatiya lil Mar'a. Her work on the latest "Absence of Muslim Women in Shaping and Developing Islamic Thought" can be seen in three papers: Journal of Law and R; Theological Review; Dialogue of Truth for Life Together (in Arabic and English, volume 3, 2013). and a video: Absence of Muslim Women (in Arabic).
