While previous literature has analyzed some aspects of the research genre separately, this book presents a comprehensive model, which characterizes the generic, registerial and discoursal options as they interweave within a text.

Highlights: "A self-described 'Muslim feminist cowgirl, ' Hasan writes this compelling work to help Americans overcome anti-Muslim stereotypes and to learn something about America's fastest growing religion. At the same time, she gives an engaging first-person account of what Islam may become as the American-born children of immigrants adapt their faith to American culture Readers should prepare to encounter appealing discussions of the place of women in Islam, 'CyberIslam, ' the virtues of permitting Muslim young people to date, and a critique of strict gender separation in mosques. Very highly recommended."
