| Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East |
| |
Syracuse University Press’s Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East
is a series focused on gender, both as a category of analysis and as a
process, in the study of the Middle East. This series examines the
implications of political developments in the region for women, men, and
gender relations.
The books in this pathbreaking series are cross-cultural in scope and
address some of the major issues being debated in the field today. We are
particularly interested in texts that reflect the complexity of these issues
and illuminate conflicts and contention rather than gloss over them. Among
the issues to be addressed are:
- Women, Gender, and Islam
- Women’s Rights and National Liberation
- Gender, Work, and Development
- Gender Relations, the State, and Civil Society
- Representations of Middle Eastern Women
- Men and Masculinity
- Feminism and the Politics of Identity
- Women’s Movements and Feminism
The series seeks to capture the origins of contemporary debates around
gender and power in the Middle East as a whole while paying attention to
particularities and differences within the region.
