Description

This volume provides a detailed and explicit account of the genre of social science research articles. 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.

Reviews

Reviewed in Library Journal, January 2001 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."
