- Description
- This book examines how the experiences of women in conflict and post-conflict situations are shaped by the interactions between groups such as women's movements, diaspora communities, national governments, non-governmental actors and multilateral bodies. Contributions focus on Iraq and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and are based entirely on original empirical research. Issues addressed include the impact of gender mainstreaming measures: the consequences for gender relations and identities of the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq: and how transnational feminist movements can most effectively support peace building and women's rights in the region.

- Description
- This book analyses the impact of occupation on men and women, both occupied and occupier, in a variety of geographical spaces from Japan to Palestine to Iraq. Gendered perspectives are also intimately tied to analyses of ‘power’: how power is enacted by the occupier: how powerlessness is experienced by the occupied: how power is negotiated, shared, compromised, subverted, reclaimed: power as visible and invisible: institutional power: contested power in post-conflict societies: and power as discursively constructed. The term ‘military occupation’ is interpreted broadly to include occupation, interventions, the presence of military bases and peacekeeping/post-conflict operations.

- Description
- The book addresses the challenges faced by women on the two shores of the Mediterranean. While in the European Union’s Mediterranean countries inequality is mostly linked to the social sphere and in particular refers to labour market dynamics, in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) area the social and private spheres are blended and cultural and religious factors have a great impact on women autonomy and opportunities beyond the family perimeter. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of the Journal of the Balkans and Near Eastern Studies.

- Description
- Bundel met bijdragen over historische, symbolische, economische, psychologische en culturele betekenissen van geven. Deel 1 bevat voorbeelden van schenkingspraktijken door de eeuwen heen: de in de Middeleeuwen gangbare praktijk waarin ouders hun kinderen aan het klooster schonken en de geschiedenis van het Hollandse geschenkenritueel rond Sinterklaas waarbij veranderingen in de aard van de geschenken verschuivingen in de verhouding tussen o.a. mannen en vrouwen weerspiegelen. In deel 2 zijn de symbolische en economische 'waarde' de centrale invalshoek. Aan de orde komt o.a. de onbetaalde zorg als een van de giften die een belangrijke rol speelt in de economie. Deel 3 gaat in op de psychologische betekenissen van het geven. Ingegaan wordt o.a. op de samenhang tussen geven en identiteit. In deel 4 staan de culturele betekenissen van het geven centraal. Aan de hand van het huwelijksgoud dat in het Midden-Oosten aan vrouwen wordt gegeven en de bruidsschat in de Hindoe-gemeenschap wordt duidelijk gemaakt hoe dubbelzinnig geschenken kunnen zijn.

- Description
- This book presents a dialogue between Western and Middle Eastern women that is often presumed never to have happened. Not only were women from the Middle East imagined to be shut up in a harem all day without access to education, ideas or the outside world, but the extent to which Western women travellers were able to engage with women in the regions they visited has often been overlooked. This collection provides extracts from Ottoman, Egyptian and British and American writers – each with a biographical and literary introduction – that trace the development of an intellectual, personal and critical dialogue between women over a period of accelerated social change marked by Arab nationalism and Egypt’s move to independence, and the establishment of the Turkish Republic at the end of the Ottoman Empire.

- Description
- This book examines the issues and controversies that are debated when it comes to the concept of feminism and gender in Arab society today. It offers explorations of the theoretical issues, the latest developments of feminist discourse, literary studies and sociology, as well as empirical data concerning the situation of women in Arab countries, such as Iraq and Palestine. Iin many countries of the Arab World- particularly Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon, as well as Sudan- issues of war, civil conflict, military occupation and imperialism often override those of gender.The place of feminism in this context is extremely problematic, as nationalist, religious and class interests supersede feminism as a public concern, even among many women. Arab feminists are thus either co-opted by these interests or find themselves in the frustrating position of negotiating their way through a minefield of contradictory imperatives and loyalties.
