In this book, author Claire Oueslati-Porter describes her field
research in Binzart, Tunisia's sprawling factory zone and in the
surrounding city. She blends conventional ethnography with
auto-ethnography, leading readers inside a textile factory, among
the women and men workers who navigate intensely gendered labor.
While there is pressure to adhere to gendered codes of behavior in
the factory, some women engage in subversive gender performances.
Oueslati-Porter elucidates a phenomenon that is oft-neglected in
studies of women in the Middle East and North Africa:
gender-queerness. Further, Oueslati-Porter explores her own
perceptions of being a researcher while also being a
daughter-in-law in a Tunisian family, and a mother to a
toddler-aged son while conducting field work. This ethnography
centralizes women's waged and unwaged labor in the understanding of
women's rights Gender, Textile Work, and Tunisian Women's
Liberation will be of interest to students andscholars of
anthropology, sociology, women's, gender, and sexuality studies,
LGBTQ+ studies,and Middle East and North Africa studies.
