Focusing on the relationship between gender and the state in the
construction of national identity politics in twentieth-century
northern Sudan, the author investigates the mechanisms that the
state and political and religious interest groups employ for
achieving political and cultural hegemony. Hale argues that such a
process involves the transformation of culture through the
involvement of women in both left-wing and Islamist revolutionary
movements. In drawing parallels between the gender ideology of
secular and religious organizations in Sudan, Hale analyzes male
positioning of women within the culture to serve the movement.
Using data from fieldwork conducted between 1961 and 1988, she
investigates the conditions under which women's culture can be
active, generating positive expressions of resistance and
transformation. Hale argues that in northern Sudan women may be
using Islam to construct their own identity and improve their
situation. Nevertheless, she raises questions about the barriers
that women may face, now that the Islamic state is achieving
hegemony, and discusses the limits of identity politics.
