Description

Consuming Desires examines new forms of marriage emerging in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates in reaction, in part, to the governments' increasing attempts to control sexuality with shari'a law. Review [Hasso] provides a much welcome analysis on unregistered marriage and presents a distinctive contribution to the study of the intersection between kinship and state within this region.--Sarah Walker " Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute" Hasso brings much-needed critical attention to the topic of secret marriage in the Middle East and North Africa. From the trend of focusing on male unruliness to the emerging idea that women may be choosing not to marry because they are not willing to compromise or put up with domination, this work delivers a number of novel arguments on a topic of intense interest and anxiety. An extremely original and striking book!--Lila Abu-Lughod The personal is political everywhere, but nowhere more profoundly than in Arab societies undergoing rapid social change. Hasso's account of the ways in which marriage and intimacy intersect with state policy and legal systems in Egypt and the UAE is timely, important, and insightful. Hasso rightly analyzes the challenges and difficulties but also reports on real gains.--Craig Calhoun, University Professor of the Social Sciences at New York University About the Author Frances S. Hasso is Associate Professor of Sociology at Oberlin College and Visiting Associate Professor at Duke University. She is the author of Resistance, Repression, and Gender Politics in Occupied Palestine and Jordan (2005)
