This book documents the function of social science analyses in the
identification and evaluation of development programs in the Middle
Eastern and North African countries. It demonstrates that
anthropology and social sciences have a good deal to contribute to

This book distinguishes Islam as a spiritual message from the
sociopolitical context of its revelation. While the sacred text of
the Quran reveals a clear empowerment of women and equality of
believers, such spirit is barely reflected in the interpretations.
Trapped between Western rhetoric that portrays them as submissive
figures in desperate need of liberation, and centuries-old,
parochial interpretations that have almost become part of the
"sacred," Muslim women are pressured and profoundly misunderstood.
Asma Lamrabet laments this state of affairs and the inclination of
both Muslims and non-Muslims to readily embrace flawed human
interpretations that devalue women rather than remaining faithful
to the meaning of the Sacred Text. Full of insight, this study
carefully reads the Qur'an to arrive at its deeper spiritual
teachings.
