- Description
- This book outlines the great complexity, variety and difference of male identities in Islamic societies. From the Taliban orphanages of Afghanistan to the cafés of Morocco, from the experience of couples at infertility clinics in Egypt to that of Iraqi conscripts, it shows how the masculine gender is constructed and negotiated in the Islamic Ummah. It goes far beyond the traditional notion that Islamic masculinities are inseparable from the control of women, and shows how the relationship between spirituality and masculinity is experienced quite differently from the prevailing Western norms. Drawing on sources ranging from modern Arabic literature to discussions of Muhammad's virility and Abraham's paternity, it portrays ways of being in the world that intertwine with non-Western conceptions of duty to the family, the state and the divine.

In this way they try to engage in identity-related social issues as central elements within global politics. .As this conflict spreads and deepens, it is more important than ever to examine how diverse international actors are using the war on terror as an opportunity to reinforce existing gendered, raced, classed and sexualized international relations.

- Description
- More than a decade ago, three world conferences placed the human rights of women on the international agenda. The first, in Vienna, officially extended the definition of human rights to include a woman's right to self-determination and equality. A year later, in Cairo, this concept was elaborated to deal explicitly with issues of sexuality and procreation. Subsequently, at a conference in Beijing, the international community committed to a wide range of practical interventions to advance women's sexual, social, political, and economic rights. Nowadays terrorism and 'the war' against it, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the incursion of religious fundamentalism into governments, and the U.S. government's retreat from the international agenda on sexual and reproductive rights have raised questions about the direction of policy implementations. This collection brings together essays that examine the practical and theoretical issues of sexual and reproductive health policy and implementation.

- The authors argue that a struggle for women’s rights is possible within non-secular contexts. The articles explore the lives of orthodox religious women and reflect on the relationship between fundamentalism and feminism in religious contexts. Strategies and discourses of women and women’s organisations on how to relate to religious fundamentalism is discussed, such as the emerging movement of ‘Islamic feminism’ that strives for ‘gender justice’ within Islamic contexts, and the struggle of women in Latin America who plead for women’s rights while at the same time retaining their Catholic faith and beliefs. This book was also published as issue 27 (October 2006) of the Journal for Humanistics.

- Description
- This book is about the devotional subcultures created by women. Its authors draw their evidence and inspiration from Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and Christian traditions. Here we find women as healers, goddesses, saints, gurus, nuns and heretics - all sharing a defiance of orthodoxy and fundamentalist oppressions of women.. As well as revealing little known aspects of the feminine within the great religions, this book reflects the newly emerging spirituality of women as they experience and respond actively to the political and social injustices they confront. Its authors are all women from the Third World who see themselves as religious, but who are at the same time competent scholars in their different disciplines
