Opis

The book presents the first English edition of Hubertine Auclert's -Arab Women in Algeria-. Hubertine Auclert lived in Algeria from 1888 to 1892 where she investigated the customs that defined the condition of women, and in doing so, she witnessed both the exploitation of women and that of the colonized people. It offers a unique picture of Algerian society in the late 19th century.

Recenzje

"Brovender's translation of Auclert's ideas (plus the helpful introduction by Denise Brahimi from the French edition) adds a valuable resource to the discussion of many French and Arab topics, from the wearing of traditional clothing to the schooling of Muslim girls."Steven Hause, Professor Emeritus, Department of History, Washington University in St. Louis "Tender, tough, touching and fearless, Hubertine Auclert will remain forever as one of the icons of international feminism. This book will enlighten all fields in the Humanities and Social Sciences: from French and Colonial Cultural Studies to History and Anthropology. A must!"Brigitte Lane, Professor Emerita, Tufts University
