26 Women and Gender Studies New New Women, Violence and Tradition Taking FGM and Other Practices to a Secular State Edited by Tamsin Bradley Women, Violence and Tradition is a fascinating look into the life histories of women from ethnic minority communities in the West, focusing specifically on their experiences of under researched cultural practices. It illuminates areas of tension and difficulty when women actively try to reform aspects of their tradition whilst remaining fiercely loyal to their cultural identity. Other examples highlight how young women choose to endorse traditional practices as a way of legitimizing their religion and culture in the face of increasing hostility. This brave and original book tackles the sensitive and controversial issue of female genital mutilation, as well as surveying changing attitudes and practices around marriage and divorce. Using a cross-cultural perspective, Women, Violence and Tradition draws on the views of activists and community organizations that work with women to confront injustice. Publisher: Zed Books 2011: 213 pp ISBN: 9781848139589: RM110.00 / S$47.85 New The Essential Nawal El Saadawi A Reader Edited by Adele Newson-Horst The writings of Nawal El Saadawi are essential to anyone wishing to understand the contemporary Arab world. Her dissident voice has stayed as consistent in its critique of neo-imperialist international politics as it has in its denunciation of women’s oppression, both in her native Egypt and in the wider world. Saadawi is a figure of international significance, and her work has a central place in Arabic history and culture of the last half century. Featuring work never before translated into English, The Essential Nawal El Saadawi gathers together a wide range of Saadawi’s writing. From novellas and short stories to essays on politics, culture, religion and sex; from extensive interviews to her work as a dramatist; from poetry to autobiography, this book is essential for anyone wishing to gain a sense of the breadth of Saadawi’s work.

Supported by an ethnographic study of immigrant domestic workers and their German employers, the author argues that domestic work plays the defining role in global ethnic and gender hierarchies. This exciting book not only will enhance the reader’s understanding of the new care economy, it also sets a new standard for feminist methodology.

Catalogue 2011 Women and Gender Studies 27 New Forced Marriage Introducing a Social Justice and Human Rights Perspective Edited by Aisha K. Gill and Sundari Anitha Forced Marriage brings together leading practitioners and researchers from the disciplines of criminology, sociology and law to provide a compelling alternative perspective to the problem of forced marriage. The volume examines advances in theoretical debates, analyses existing research and presents new evidence that challenges the cultural essentialism that often characterises efforts to explain, and even justify, this violation of women’s rights. By locating forced marriage within broader debates on violence against women, social justice and human rights, the authors offer an intersectional perspective that can be used to inform both theory and practice, making this unique book essential reading for practitioners and students alike. Publisher: Zed Books 2011: 256 pp ISBN: 9781848134638: RM99.00 / S$43.00 New Women in Israel Race, Gender and Citizenship Nahla Abdo Women in Israel provides a fresh, gendered analysis of citizenship in Israel. Working from a framework of Israel as a settler-colonial regime, this important, insightful book presents historical and contemporary comparative approaches to the lives and experiences of Ashkenazi, Mizrahi and Palestinian Arab women citizens. Nahla Abdo shows that no solution to the problems of the region can be found without changing existing racial and gender boundaries to citizenship. Publisher: Zed Books 2011: 227 pp ISBN: 9781848139541: RM95.00 / S$41.30 New Men and Development Politicizing Masculinities Edited by Andrea Cornwall, Jerker Edstrom & Alan Greig Men and Development: Politicizing Masculinities features an exciting collection of contributions from some of today’s leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of men, masculinities and development. Together, contributors challenge the neglect of the structural dimensions of patriarchal power relations in current development policy and practice, and the failure to adequately engage with the effects of inequitable sex and gender orders on both men’s and women’s lives. The book calls for renewed engagement in efforts to challenge and change stereotypes of men, to dismantle the structural barriers to gender equality, and to mobilize men to build new alliances with women’s movements and other movements for social and gender justice. Publisher: Zed Books 2011: 247 pp ISBN: 9781848139787: RM115.00 / S$50.00 New Menopausal Palestine Women at the Edge Suad Amiry Palestine, menopausal? Can a women’s condition called ‘change of life’ afflict a state-in-the-making? Suad Amiry’s wacky, irreverent, unmistakably political account links the state of Palestine to the lives of ten women for whom Palestine – or its absence – was the centrifugal force around which their lives revolved. For 40 years, from the 1967 war till Hamas’ victory in 2006, the women in this book shared a past and unfulfilled dreams and aspirations. With that victory, however, they now mourn the loss of a diverse Arab culture, of secularism and pluralism, and their replacement by what Amiry calls “local nationalism” and “global religious fundamentalism”. She recalls the social and political history of Palestine “through the lives of my PLO women’s generation”, in what can only be called a personal-political tour de force.
