AB Part of a special issue on Asian and Pacific Islander populations within the U.S. A study was conducted to examine activism among South Asian Muslim women student organizations in New York City following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Data were obtained from fieldwork conducted with two groups of women associated with the Muslim Students Association at two public universities in New York in the period 2001–2005. Findings indicated that these women perceived an increase in hostility and racism against them after the September 11 attacks. Findings suggested that these women were taking action against this hostility through increasing their public presence and altering negative images of Muslim women and their general communities. Findings are discussed in detail.
