- 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
- In de zomer van 2011 reist Monique Samuel ruim twee maanden lang door de landen in het Midden-Oosten waar grote omwentelingen hebben plaatsgevonden. Haar uitvalsbasis is het appartementje van haar oma in Cairo. Samuel wil weten wat er leeft onder de mensen en spreekt met hen over de oorzaken van de revoluties, de invloed daarvan op de maatschappij en hun toekomstperspectief. Ze wil zich niet laten leiden door de waan van de dag of door gefilterdeberichtgeving, maar zich baseren op eigen ervaringen. De neerslag van deze ontmoetingen combineert de schrijfster-journaliste met beschouwingen over de sociale en politieke consequenties.
