The Middle East was the region least impacted in the 2008 crisis,
has investment systems markedly different to the West, is largely
governed by Islamic Shari'a, and has varying forms of governance
and institutional organization, which are not understood by many,
nor how these systems shape entrepreneurial and industrial
development. While the Middle East as a region has seen a small
growth in entrepreneurship for women, and business scholarship on
the Middle East has grown, there is no text in English that has
brought critical insights from the Middle East together in a single
volume. In examining women's entrepreneurship in the Middle East,
this book aims to challenge Global North assumptions about the
disempowering impacts of Islamic Shari'a and governance. Referring
to the constraints of Islam on women's subjectivity and agency
greatly misunderstands religious identity, of both men and women,
and the way in which public administration and private sector
institutions are organized in very different ways to Western
regions. This timely text expands and adds new insights to the
theorizations of women's entrepreneurship in the Middle East,
through unravelling spatialized themes, and incorporates
contemporary themes including: an Islamic science reading of women,
work and venturing; changing families and entrepreneurship
development; women managing social crises; Islamization, governance
and women; Islamic feminist activisms and entrepreneurship;
representations of women's entrepreneurship on social media; and
women's collectives leading entrepreneurship via Facebook
entrepreneurship. It will be of interest to researchers, academics,
and students in the fields of entrepreneurship, gender, work and
organizations.
