There has been much discussion among anthropologists and
sociologists about the advantages and disadvantages of doing
fieldwork in one's own society. The situation is made all the more
complex when female Arab researchers perform such work in their own
traditionally sex-segregated societies. In this book, Arab women
researchers research their own societies and discuss the
experience. The editors provide an introduction which helps to
establish and define the practical and theoretical issues involved.
But the six essays by the women social scientists themselves are
the heart of this book. Each provides a unique, personal and
privileged perspective. The collection also provides an overview of
the issues involved in a number of different Arab communities -
Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and a Bedouin community
in the Egyptian Western Desert. "Arab Women in the Field" will
appeal to social scientists working in or on the Middle East and
other Islamic societies, as well as to anthropologists and
sociologists interested in fieldwork and the subjective/objective
dimensions of the research process.
