Download or read book Rethinking Gender in Revolutions and Resistance written by Professor Maha El Said and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the uprisings that swept the Arab world, the role of Arab women in political transformations received unprecedented media attention. The copious commentary, however, has yet to result in any serious study of the gender dynamics of political upheaval. Rethinking Gender in Revolutions and Resistance is the first book to analyse the interplay between moments of sociopolitical transformation, emerging subjectivities and the different modes of women’s agency in forging new gender norms in the Arab world. Written by scholars and activists from the countries affected, including Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, this is an important addition to Middle Eastern gender studies.
