Abstract
This editorial argues that studies of Maghrebi and African women’s relationships to religion are far from obsolete. It recalls how the field moved from descriptive accounts of injustices and sensationalized writings toward stronger sociological and anthropological inquiry. Anchored in a special issue of Faits de langue et de société linked to the ANR-funded RIMA project coordinated by Fabienne Samson, the dossier examines women’s emancipation through religious practice and discourse as tools for action, resistance, and activism. Contributors highlight methodological and ethical challenges of researching “at home” and online, where social media enables reinvention yet also can subtly reproduce religious norms.
