Today, she embraces Islam with a feminist perspective and runs the Muslimah <br />Media Watch website, “a forum where Muslim women can critique how our images <br />appear in the media and popular culture.” Fakhraie writes about Islam, feminism, <br />politics, and race for print and online journals including Racialicious and AltMuslimah. <br /> <br />This talk is part of Summer Reading 2011 at the Eugene Public Library, a series of <br />events for all ages united by the theme, “One World, Many Stories.” <br /> <br />For more information, contact the Eugene Public Library at 541-682-5450 or www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />July 7, 2011 <br />
