Arab Women's Activism and Socio-Political Transformation: Unfinished Gendered Revolutions Paperback -

by Sahar Khamis (Editor); Amel Mili (Editor)


From the publisher

Makes a significant contribution to the literature on gender studies in the aftermath of the Arab SpringSheds light on the long-term impacts of the social revolution that evolved following the political upheaval
Addresses important and cross-cutting gender issues that also relate to states beyond those involved in the Arab Spring

From the rear cover

This book illustrates how Arab women have been engaging in three ongoing, parallel struggles, before, during, and after the Arab Spring, on three levels, namely: the political struggle to pave the road for democracy, freedom, and reform; the social struggle to achieve gender equality and fight all forms of injustice and discrimination against women; and the legal struggle to chart new laws which can safeguard both the political and the social gains. The contributors argue that while the political upheavals were oftentimes more prevalent and visible, they should not overshadow the parallel social and legal revolutions which are equally important, due to their long-term impacts on the region. The chapters shed light on the intersections, overlaps and divergences between these simultaneous, continuous gendered struggles and unpacks their complexities and multiple implications, locally, regionally, and internationally, across different countries and through different phases.
