- More about Peaceful Families: American Muslim Efforts against Domestic Violence
In Peaceful Families, Juliane Hammer explores the efforts of Muslim American organizations to address domestic violence within their communities. She demonstrates how Muslim advocates mobilize a rich religious tradition to combat domestic violence and identify religion and culture as resources or roadblocks to prevention and restoration of family peace. Hammer highlights the challenges faced by American Muslim communities due to intolerance and Islamophobia and how Muslim anti-domestic violence workers combine mainstream secular anti-domestic violence methods with Muslim perspectives and interpretations. She argues that at certain times, it may be imperative to combat domestic abuse by endorsing notions of "protective patriarchy" and links Muslim advocacy efforts to the larger domestic violence crisis in the United States. Peaceful Families also emphasizes the place of Islam as an American religion and the ways it refashions society at large.

In her book "Peaceful Families," Juliane Hammer delves into the compelling narratives and diverse strategies employed by individuals and organizations working to combat domestic violence within Muslim communities in the United States. Through a comprehensive exploration, Hammer highlights the interconnectedness of ethical practices, gender norms, and religious interpretations in these efforts. She demonstrates how Muslim advocates leverage a rich religious tradition to mobilize community-wide initiatives against domestic violence, recognizing religion and culture as both resources and barriers in the fight against harm and the restoration of family peace.
Drawing from extensive interviews with Muslim advocates, service providers, and religious leaders, Hammer paints a vivid portrait of the challenges faced by these advocates. The insecurities faced by American Muslim communities due to intolerance and Islamophobia add an additional layer of complexity to addressing issues of spousal abuse. Hammer reveals how Muslim anti-domestic violence workers seamlessly integrate the methods of the mainstream secular anti-domestic violence movement with Muslim perspectives and interpretations. She identifies a range of Muslim anti-domestic violence approaches, advocating for the use of "protective patriarchy" in certain situations, even though service providers may hold feminist views critical of patriarchal assumptions.
Hammer's book connects Muslim advocacy efforts to the broader domestic violence crisis in the United States, highlighting the role of advocates in shaping and participating in debates about family, gender, and marriage within global Muslim communities. She emphasizes the significance of Islam as a religious identity and resource for Muslim Americans, shaping their approaches to domestic violence prevention and intervention.
Overall, "Peaceful Families" provides a valuable insight into the complex dynamics of Muslim anti-domestic violence work, shedding light on the strategies, challenges, and opportunities for promoting peace and well-being within Muslim communities. Hammer's book contributes to the growing body of literature on domestic violence in diverse contexts and highlights the importance of intersectionality in addressing this critical issue.
