This book was released on 2005. Egypt as a Woman available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “Can anything new be said about modern Egyptian nationalism? Beth Baron's book Egypt as a Woman, one of the best modern Egyptian history books to appear in several years, leaves no doubt that it can. With evenhandedness and generosity, Baron shows how vital women were to mobilizing opposition to British authority and modernizing Egypt.”—Robert L. Tignor, author of Capitalism and Nationalism at the End of Empire “A wonderful contribution to understanding Egyptian national and gender politics between the two world wars. Baron explores the paradox of women’s exclusion from political rights at the very moment when visual and metaphorical representations of Egypt as a woman were becoming widespread and real women activists—both secularist and Islamist—were participating more actively in public life than ever before.”—Donald Malcolm Reid, author of Whose Pharaohs? Archaeology, Museums, and Egyptian National Identity from Napoleon to World War I

Download and read online ebook Female Voices and Egyptian Independence write by Rania M. Mahmoud. This book was released on 2024. Female Voices and Egyptian Independence available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "This book offers a nuanced analysis of the ways in which Egyptian and British novels represent the Egyptian nationalist project in its struggle against British hegemony in the aftermath of two revolutions: the 1881-82 Urabi Revolution, known for inaugurating the British occupation of Egypt, and the 1919 Revolution celebrated in Egyptian national memory as the classic Egyptian revolution par excellence. Reading the novels against the grain, the study recovers female voices that are multiply marginalized, due to their gender and/or ethnicity, whether by colonial imperial powers, the nation, their immediate regional community or, finally, by the works under discussion themselves. Using a comparative lens, the study foregrounds the ways in which the authors confirm, critique, rewrite/revise, or reject developmental narratives. Paying particular attention to women that range from the uneducated black slave (a topic seldom discussed in Arabic literary studies), to the uneducated rural Siwan woman with artistic talent (Bahaa Taher's Sunset Oasis, 2009), to the wealthy cultured Coptic housewife (Mountolive by Lawrence Durrell), to the rising late nineteenth-century British female professional (The Guns of El Kebir by Jon Wilcox), and finally to the eclipsed twentieth-century Egyptian female national intellectual (Naguib Mahfouz's Sugar Street, 1992), all of whom play crucial roles in the journeys of the respective male protagonists, and by extension, the Egyptian national project"--

Download and read online ebook Embodying Geopolitics write by Nicola Pratt. This book was released on 2020-10-27. Embodying Geopolitics available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When women took to the streets during the mass protests of the Arab Spring, the subject of feminism in the Middle East and North Africa returned to the international spotlight. In the subsequent years, countless commentators treated the region’s gender inequality as a consequence of fundamentally cultural or religious problems. In so doing, they overlooked the specifically political nature of these women’s activism. Moving beyond such culturalist accounts, this book turns to the relations of power in regional and international politics to understand women’s struggles for their rights. Based on over a hundred extensive personal narratives from women of different generations in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, Nicola Pratt traces women’s activism from national independence through to the Arab uprisings, arguing that activist women are critical geopolitical actors. Weaving together these personal accounts with the ongoing legacies of colonialism, Embodying Geopolitics demonstrates how the production and regulation of gender is integrally bound up with the exercise and organization of geopolitical power, with consequences for women’s activism and its effects.
