SUMMARY:Anthropology Colloquium: Rhea Rahman\, Brooklyn College
UID:644294@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:An ethnography of Islamic Relief (IR)\, the largest Islamic NGO based in the West\, Racializing the Ummah explores how a Muslim organization can do good in a world that defines Muslimness as less than human. In this talk\, Rahman begins and ends with the place and meaning of Palestine  for US Muslims. Along the way she traces Islamic Relief’s relation to counter extremism political efforts in the UK\, to neoliberal development in Mali\, to forms of doing good otherwise that are rooted in an Islamic Black Radical Tradition in South Africa. Based on more than a decade of international research\, Rhea Rahman’s study on the organization’s projects\, methods\, and limitations reveals how racial capitalism permeates all aspects of humanitarianism\, while also locating possibilities of its refusal that are grounded in Islam as the foundation of a revolutionary praxis.
