Islam en Bogotá : procesos de conversión y subjetividad femenina

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the study of Islam conversion’s processes and the subsequent changes produced on the female subjectivities on three muslim women from Bogotá. To do this, I used different sociological theories in order to analyze the religious conversion process as a social act and its implications in the new muslim female subjectivities. The methodology used was life history, this tool allowed me to compare socialization experiences in the light of religious conversion process. As an outcome of this research it was found that there are different types of conversion, that can be described as failed or successful and depending on that the subjectivities changes being bigger or smaller.
