Women and the War Story
ISBN: 9780520206137 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In a book that radically and fundamentally revises the way we think about war, Miriam Cooke charts the emerging tradition of women's contributions to what she calls the "War Story," a genre formerly reserved for men. Concentrating on the contemporary literature of the Arab world, Cooke looks at how alternatives to the master narrative challenge the authority of experience and the permission to write.

Nazira Zeineddine: A Pioneer of Islamic Feminism
ISBN: 9781851687695 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1928, a young Lebanese woman, Nazira Zeineddine al-Halabi, wrote a book called "Unveiling and Veiling," an indictment of patriarchal oppression in which she boldly stated that the veil was un-Islamic, directly challenging the teachings of wiser" male scholars.

In this latest addition to Makers of the Muslim World series, Miriam Cooke offers an intimate portrait of the life and work of this pioneering...

Tribal Modern: Branding New Nations in the Arab Gulf
ISBN: 9780520280106 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In the 1970s, one of the most torrid and forbidding regions in the world burst on to the international stage. The discovery and subsequent exploitation of oil allowed tribal rulers of the U.A.E, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait to dream big. How could fishermen, pearl divers and pastoral nomads catch up with the rest of the modernized world? Even today, society is skeptical about the clash between the modern and the archaic in the Gulf. But could tribal and modern be intertwined rather than mutually exclusive? Exploring everything from fantasy architecture to neo-tribal sports and from Emirati...

Dissident Syria: Making Oppositional Arts Official
ISBN: 9780822340164 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From 1970 until his death in 2000, Hafiz Asad ruled Syria with an iron fist. His regime controlled every aspect of daily life. Seeking to preempt popular unrest, Asad sometimes facilitated the expression of anti-government sentiment by appropriating the work of artists and writers, turning works of protest into official agitprop. Syrian dissidents were forced to negotiate between the desire to genuinely criticize the authoritarian regime, the risk to their own safety and security that such criticism would invite, and the fear that their work would be co-opted as government propaganda, as what...

On March 17, 2011, many Syrians rose up against the authoritarian Asad regime that had ruled them with an iron fist for forty years.

Nine million are internally displaced and over four million are wandering the world, many on foot or in leaky boats. Countless numbers have been disappeared. These...

ISBN: 9780691604206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In a century torn by violent civil uprisings, civilian bombings, and genocides, war has been an immediate experience for both soldiers and civilians, for both women and men.

This provocative collection addresses such questions in exploring male and female experiences of war--from World War I, to Vietnam, to wars in Latin America and the Middle East--and how this experience has been articulated in literature, film and drama,...

War's Other Voices: Women Writers on the Lebanese Civil War
ISBN: 9780521341929 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. By examining the writings of Lebanese women she calls the Beirut Decentrists, Miriam Cooke challenges the notion that only men write about war. Although of differing political and religious beliefs, it is these Decentrists--women bound by common exclusion from both the literary canon and social discourse--whose vision will rebuild shattered Lebanon. The author traces the transformation in consciousness that took place among women who observed and recorded the progress toward chaos in Lebanon. During the so-called two-year war of 1975-6, little comment was made about those who left the...
