In her incisive reading of Islamic and feminist traditions, South African scholar Saʾdiyya Shaikh (2013) maps out the challenge of engaged intersectional scholarship constructing an analytic called “multiple critique.” Deploying a feminist hermeneutical approach of rereading, reconceiving, and reconstructing (O’Conner 1989), Shaikh challenges and reconfigures the boundaries of tradition. Her analytical and methodological approach is informed by three intersectional registers of interventing, disrupting rapacious normative configurations of social power, and suggesting capacious modes of being human. This chapter examines three interconnected themes in her engaged scholarship religious anthropology, sociality, and the Divine human relationship in Islam – to show how an intersectional approach develops discourses of compassionate succour for marginal communities by exposing the inner workings of dominant structures of power and cultivating alternative modes of being human.
