Routledge - Islamic Feminism and the Discourse of Post-Liberation

Explore a deep analysis of the cultural turn for women in the Middle East and North Africa with this important study from Routledge. This book examines how women have adjusted to and defended socially conservative redefinitions of their roles in society. It looks closely at how these changes impact matters of marriage, work, and public codes of behavior. By focusing on Algeria, the text investigates whether this cultural turn is an autochthonous response or an alternative to Western feminism. The research covers the sources, evolution, contradictions, and consequences of this movement. It provides a necessary look at the shifting landscape of gender and society in the region, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in anthropology and sociology.
