| This anthology offers twenty studies on instances of emerging social justice and womens empowerment in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. The book shows how changes are occurring as flood tides of capital, people, and information erode entrenched gender regimes, giving birth to energetic and forward-thinking womens movements. It illustrates how local women are transforming their collective fates by questioning their status, forming alliances, demanding full participation in economic development and the political process, and mining the opportunities afforded by globalization. The authors examine women's political expression and activities in Palestine, Jordan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco over recent decades; women's economic, social, and cultural participation in India, Turkey, Morocco, Israel, Jordan, and Iran; and gendered issues of violence and human rights in Nepal, India, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. | |
