<DIV>This book examines the position of women in the contemporary Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) region. Although it is culturally diverse,
this region shares many commonalities with relation to women that are
strong, deep, and pervasive: a space-based patriarchy, a culturally
strong sense of religion, a smooth co-existence of tradition and
modernity, a transitional stage in development, and
multilingualism/multiculturalism. </DIV>
<DIV>Experts from within the region and from outside provide both
theoretical angles and case studies, drawing on fieldwork from Egypt,
Oman, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Iran, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and
Spain. Addressing the historical, socio-cultural, political, economic,
and legal issues in the region, the chapters cover five major aspects of
women’s agency:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<UL>
<DIV>
<LI>political agency;
<LI>civil society activism;
<LI>legal reform;
<LI>cultural and social agencies;
<LI>religious and symbolic agencies. </LI></DIV></UL>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bringing to light often marginalized topics and issues, the book
underlines the importance of respecting specificities when judging
societies and hints at possible ways of promoting the MENA region. As
such, it is a valuable addition to existing literature in the field of
political science, sociology, and women’s studies.</DIV>
