This important study examines the cultural turn for women in the
Middle East and North Africa, analyzing the ways they have adjusted
to and at times defended, socially conservative redefinitions of
their roles in society in matters of marriage, work, and public
codes of behavior. Whether this cultural turn is an autochthonous
response, or an alternative to Western feminism, Islamic Feminism
and the Discourse of Post-Liberation: The Cultural Turn in Algeria
examines the sources, evolution, contradictions as well as
consequences of the Cultural Turn. Focusing on Algeria, but making
comparisons with Tunisia and Morocco, it takes an in-depth look at
Islamic feminism and studies its functions in the geopolitics of
control of Islam. It also explores the knowldge effects of the
cultural turn and crucially identifies a critical way of
re-orienting feminist thought and practice in the region. This new
work from a highly regarded scholar will appeal to researchers,
graduates, and undergraduates in North African studies; Middle
Eastern studies; sociology, women and gender studies; anthropology;
political science; and ethnic and critical race studies.
