Critical analysis of what we know - and do not know - about women
in the Arab region is needed to support social change. But how is
knowledge on women and gender produced in the region? How does this
change when it is undertaken by Arab women researchers? Through a
critical examination of local fieldwork experiences, the
contributors of the volume - who are Arab women researchers
themselves - answer these questions. The book examines the specific
structural conditions that shape people's lives in the Arab region,
from the effects of imperialism, settler colonialism and the
neo-liberalization of economies, to racial capitalism,
securitization, and embedded patriarchal ideologies and structures.
The authors assess the implications of these different dynamics on
undertaking research and also examine their own daily lives, the
lives of their interlocutors, and the practices of their field. In
doing so, they are able to escape hegemonic approaches and
frameworks to the study of gender and to instead theorize from the
local context to produce knowledge as they see it. This 'engaged
gender research' challenges dominant discourses in academia,
rejects the presumptions of 'Arab exceptionalism', and challenges
liberal feminisms. It devises a new way of undertaking research on
gender in the region to lay the foundation for a more just
tomorrow. Covering Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq
and the Arab Gulf, the book argues that an engaged gender research
- which is feminist and critically analyses the historical,
political, economic and social contexts of the research topic first
- will transform how we understand women and gender, and the Arab
World.
