The book Religion, Gender, and Populism in the Mediterranean, edited by Alberta Giorgi, Júlia Garraio and Teresa Toldy (Routledge, 2023), proposes a systematic and comparative analysis of the intersections of religion and gender in times of populism across the EU-Mediterranean. The chapters explore tensions and issues related to religion and gender in nations including Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Greece, Turkey, and in the case of Muslim Palestinian women in Israel. Shifting attention from the European Union to the Mediterranean area allows the inclusion of countries whose history is significantly interwoven, taking into account the legacies of colonialism, the effects of post-colonialism, and the role of the EU in relation to gender-related issues in particular. The volume investigates not only country-specific cases but highlights similarities and differences in the region and aims to understand how the interconnections influence the issues at stake. It draws together countries with non-Christian majoritarian religions, with different political regimes, and where feminism and women’s movements have different shapes, histories, and relationships with religion.

The chapters of the book are authored by Júlia Garraio, Teresa Toldy, Alexandre de Sousa Carvalho, Inês Amaral, Sofia José Santos (chapter about Portugal), Alberta Giorgi (chapter about Italy), Jadranka Rebeka Anić (chapter about Croatia), Adriana Zaharijević, Zorana Antonijević (chapter about Serbia), Zlatiborka Popov-Momčinović, Amila Ždralović (chapter about Bosnia-Herzegovina), Chara Karagiannopoulou, Niki Papageorgiou (chapter about Greece), Bilge Yabanci, Chiara Maritato (chapter about Turkey), Nahed Ashqar-Sharary and Sarab Abu-Rabia-Queder (chapter about in the case of Muslim Palestinian women in Israel).

The book launch includes short inputs from the editors of the book and some authors of the chapters and comments by Cristiano Gianolla, Maria Elena Indelicato and Manuel Anselmi.
