- Description
- This book covers all of Europe, with a notable focus on Eastern Europe.

- 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.
