Rethinking Gender in Revolutions and Resistance (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Since the end of 2010, when a wave of mass protests and uprisings swept across the Arab world, there has been unprecedented media attention to Arab women and their role in regional political transformations. Yet, this large body of commentary and speculation has yet to culminate in a substantial study of gender roles in relation to the ‘Arab Spring’, as well as often ignoring or marginalising socio-political change prior to 2011 and women’s participation in it.







Rethinking Gender in Revolutions and Resistance takes an original approach to analysing the shifts in gender roles, gender relations and gender norms that have occurred as the result of what is known as the Arab Spring, rejecting essentialising and orientalist assumptions that dissolve issues of class, nationality, migration and religion which are key axes of social difference in the region.
