Many students learn about the Middle East through a sprinkling of
information and generalizations deriving largely from media
treatments of current events. This scattershot approach can
propagate bias and misconceptions that inhibit students' abilities
to examine this vitally important part of the world. Understanding
and Teaching the Modern Middle East moves away from the Orientalist
frameworks that have dominated the West's understanding of the
region, offering a range of fresh interpretations and approaches
for teachers. The volume brings together experts on the rich
intellectual, cultural, social, and political history of the Middle
East, providing necessary historical context to familiarize
teachers with the latest scholarship. Each chapter includes easy-
to-explore sources to supplement any curriculum, focusing on
valuable and controversial themes that may prove pedagogically
challenging, including colonization and decolonization, the 1979
Iranian revolution, and the US-led 'war on terror.' By presenting
multiple viewpoints, the book will function as a springboard for
instructors hoping to encourage students to negotiate the various
contradictions in historical study.
Exploring the multifaceted nature of gender and sexuality within
Islamic societies in a trans-disciplinary and trans-regional
fashion, this collection addresses the following questions: What
are the principal methodologies for studying gender and sexuality
in Islam? What is Islamic feminism? How do we understand the role
of gender in the Islamic revival movements that have emerged since
the last quarter of the twentieth century? How have historical
forces and political projects-colonialism, nationalism, and
modernity-constituted gender relations? How have sexual ideologies
and practices transformed in Muslim majority societies in the
modern era? What is the relationship between the global circulation
of LGBTQ identities and queer and sexual counter-publics in the
Islamic world? Gender and Sexuality in Islam highlights
methodologically innovative work while covering an expansive
geographical range that includes the Middle East and North Africa,
Sub-Saharan Africa, Central, South and Southeast Asia, and Europe
and North America. The volumes cover: Gender and the Ethical
Subject; Gender, Empire, and Nation; Sexualities, Intimacy, and the
Body; and Gender, Sexuality, and Representation. The set will be of
use to scholars, students, and general readers.
Diary of a Child Called Souad is Nawal El Saadawi's first
autobiography, written at the age of ten in the form of fiction as
she explores her early awakening to the world around her. Now known
for her bold spirit and probing mind, El Saadawi in this novel
uncovers through a child's eyes the hypocritical values and
traditions carried on by family, education, religion, and society.
With amazing courage she weaves a tale of the fear, guilt, and
repressive compliance forced upon her as a woman and upon her
generation as the price to be paid for leading a civilized
existence. Struggling to come to terms with taboos concerning her
maturing body, the young Nawal's writing reveals the makings of a
revolutionary spirit and relentlessly analytical mind. A must read
for devotees of El Saadawi's writing to witness an early record of
the maturing of her thoughts and the shaping of her ideas.
The first in-depth look at how postwar thinkers in Egypt mapped the
intersections between Islamic discourses and psychoanalytic thought
In 1945, psychologist Yusuf Murad introduced an Arabic term
borrowed from the medieval Sufi philosopher and mystic Ibn
'Arabi--al-la-shu'ur--as a translation for Sigmund Freud's concept
of the unconscious. By the late 1950s, Freud's Interpretation of
Dreams had been translated into Arabic for an eager Egyptian
public. In The Arabic Freud, Omnia El Shakry challenges the notion
of a strict divide between psychoanalysis and Islam by tracing how
postwar thinkers in Egypt blended psychoanalytic theories with
concepts from classical Islamic thought in a creative encounter of
ethical engagement. Drawing on scholarly writings as well as
popular literature on self-healing, El Shakry provides the first
in-depth examination of psychoanalysis in Egypt and reveals how a
new science of psychology--or "science of the soul," as it came to
be called--was inextricably linked to Islam and mysticism. She
explores how Freudian ideas of the unconscious were crucial to the
formation of modern discourses of subjectivity in areas as diverse
as psychology, Islamic philosophy, and the law. Founding figures of
Egyptian psychoanalysis, she shows, debated the temporality of the
psyche, mystical states, the sexual drive, and the Oedipus complex,
while offering startling insights into the nature of psychic life,
ethics, and eros. This provocative and insightful book invites us
to rethink the relationship between psychoanalysis and religion in
the modern era. Mapping the points of intersection between Islamic
discourses and psychoanalytic thought, it illustrates how the
Arabic Freud, like psychoanalysis itself, was elaborated across the
space of human difference.
"The Great Social Laboratory" charts the development of the human
sciences--anthropology, human geography, and demography--in late
nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt. Tracing both intellectual
and institutional genealogies of knowledge production, this book
examines social science through a broad range of texts and cultural
artifacts, ranging from the ethnographic museum to architectural
designs to that pinnacle of social scientific research--"the
article."
Omnia El Shakry explores the interface between European and
Egyptian social scientific discourses and interrogates the
boundaries of knowledge production in a colonial and post-colonial
setting. She examines the complex imperatives of race, class, and
gender in the Egyptian colonial context, uncovering the new modes
of governance, expertise, and social knowledge that defined a
distinctive era of nationalist politics in the inter- and post-war
periods. Finally, she examines the discursive field mapped out by
colonial and nationalist discourses on the racial identity of the
modern Egyptians.

Sesen: The Egyptian Lotus is based on true relationships between
people and in families from diverse populations with a diversity of
thoughts. It includes love and romance along with strong emotions,
moral values, and beliefs. The female lead struggles against the
expectations for her culture and family, and the discrimination of
all types she finds when she settles in the United States. However,
her ambition, her hidden intolerance of Judaism, and insistence on
reason over emotion follow her through personal disaster and
success, denying her peace and the one great love of her life.
