Book SynopsisThis book explores the relationship between Islamism, secularism and violence against women in the Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on case studies from across the region, the authors examine the historical, cultural, religious, social, legal and political factors affecting this key issue. Chapters by established scholars from within and outside the region highlight: the interconnections of violence and various sources of power in the Middle East: the state, society, and the family conceptions of violence as family and social practice and dominant discourse the role of violence as pattern for social structuring in the nation state. By centring the chapters around these key areas, the volume provides an innovative theoretical and systematic research model for gender and violence in the Middle East and North Africa. Dealing with issues that are not easily accessible in the West, this book underlines the importance of understanding Trade Review"Gender and Violence in the Middle East is a significant collection of essays... This work is an articulate collection that probes diverse manifestations of violence and the impact of violence on gender-relations in both the public and intimate spheres. Though the essays focus on issues of violence specific to the Middle East, the essays address universal concerns and offer insights into the process of patriarchal control and consolidation in the face of external aggression or internal dissonance. Consistently argued and clearly written, the book would be useful to both specialists and students alike." - Mahesh Sharma, Panjab University, Chandigarh; Journal of International and Global Studies"The empirical studies of the volume make a welcome initial connection with theoretical studies in the anthropology of violence. Overall, the volume is an ambitious account of gender violence in the Middle East region. The volume should be of interest to students and scholars of gender studies, sociology, political science, and criminal justice." - Fatemeh Shayan, School of Management, University of Tampere, Finland; Journal of Shi'a Islamic Studies, Winter 2012 Vol. V No. 1"Gender and Violence in the Middle East is a major contribution to the understanding of women’s changing roles in several countries in that area and should be read by students, scholars, and a wider public." - Nikki Keddie, University of California, Los AngelesTable of ContentsIntroduction: Contextualizing Gender and Violence in the Middle East Part 1: Conceptualization and Theoretical Background 1.

Taylor & Francis Gender Development and Environmental Governance
Book SynopsisA major challenge in studies of environmental governance is dealing with the diversity of the people involved at multiple levels â villagers, development agents, policy-makers, private resource users and others â and taking seriously their aspirations, conflicts and collaborations. This book examines this challenge in two very disparate parts of our world, exploring what gender-equality, resource management and development mean in real terms for its inhabitants as well as for our environmental futures.Based on participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest management, the making of womenâs groups within them and how the womenâs groups became a threat to mainstream institutions. Insights from India, consistently ranked as one of the most gender-biased countries, are compared with similar situations in the ostensibly gender-equal Sweden. Arora-Jonsson also analyzes how dominant ideas about the environment, development and gender Trade Review'Telling, arguing, and analysing throughout this rich and original work, Seema Arora-Jonsson makes a strong theoretical case “for gender as integral to our analyses in order to be able to meet environmental and developmental challenges”'— Lars Rudebeck, Uppsala University, Development in Practice "Gender, Development and Environmental Governance is indeed an enlightening work in more ways than one. Especially admirable is the élan with which Arora-Jonsson pulls off a seemingly unsustainable project—comparing a highly developed and a developing society... Gender, Development and Environmental Governance is a valuable contribution to the corpus of the theoretical literature on gender and environmental studies and a must read for all gender and environment scholars."— Etee Bahadur, Journal of South Asian Development "The most significant contribution on of this book is its unconventional examination of daily life and informal networks, filtered through a gendered analysis... This is a great effort in undoing the sometimes artificial divide between the North and South. Because of its strengths in analyzing gender dynamics and its comparative nature, this book will be extremely interesting to those interested in issues of environmental governance, development, and gender."— Meenakshi Narayan, Michigan State University, Gendered Perspectives on International DevelopmentTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Landmark Essays on Rhetoric and Feminism
Book SynopsisFeminism and rhetoric have not always been overlapping terms. While neglected as subjects of scholarly interest for many years, women were nonetheless developing rhetorical practices and traditions all along. In recent decades women writers, speakers, and feminist scholars have forged new theories of and practices for feminist rhetoric. These women have struggled to see, re-shape, and re-deploy the rhetorical tradition in ways that not only admit but embrace and celebrate women and feminist understandings to the benefit of all people. This volume is the culmination of much of the work done by those scholars.Edited by the leading experts in field, Cheryl Glenn and Andrea A. Lunsford, Landmark Essays on Rhetoric and Feminism earns its significance in several key ways: it includes work done by scholars from departments of communication, English, and writing studies as well as a variety of public intellectuals; it traces a series of encounters between rhetoric and feminism duringTrade ReviewThese stunning essays, intrepid in their own time, remain a provocative challenge to the central assumptions of Western rhetoric. Deftly edited, they record the powerful role of feminist rhetoricians in creating new paradigms of theory, history, and pedagogy based in recognition, understanding, and collaboration. Arabella Lyon, University at BuffaloCheryl Glenn and Andrea A. Lunsford offer scholars of rhetoric and feminism an invaluable anthology, which features essays on recovery and recuperation, methods and methodologies, practices and performances, pedagogical applications and implications, and new theories and histories.Their selection of essays is exceptional in representing a range of standpoints and placing them in productive dialogue with each other.Considerations of sex, race, gender, class and other social differences are integral throughout the collection. The perspectives and performances of activists, critics, and theorists of feminism and rhetoric are made easily available for advanced study. Lester C. Olson, University of PittsburghThe productive tensions within "and"—a word of opposition, juxtaposition, connection, and continuation—resonate throughout this collection of seventeen formative essays on rhetoric and feminism ranging from the 1970s through the 1990s. Ultimately, the collection invites readers to wonder "and what’s next?"
