1	A Triple Consciousness: African Muslim Women Navigating Belonging in College Odetunde, Latifat January 2022 (has links) Thesis advisor: Kyrah Daniels / Thesis advisor: Gustavo Morello / In many ways, college campuses represent a microcosm of the world where standards of whiteness are upheld and larger societal issues are recreated. Though American Muslim populations expand each year in the United States, few college campuses provide space for African Muslim women to fully express their spirituality and other aspects of their identities without compromise. This thesis examines how African Muslim women navigate belonging and dis-belonging in college. Additionally, it explores how African Muslim women use their triple consciousness to negotiate between their racial, cultural, religious, and gendered identities. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2022. / Submitted to: Boston College.
