What is Modernizing Women: Gender and Social Change in the Middle East (Women & Change in the Developing World) about?

Extrait De La Préface : The Subject Of This Study Is Social Change In The Middle East, North Africa, And Afghanistan ; Its Impact On Women's Legal Status And Social Positions ; And Women's Varied Responses To, And Involvment In, Change Processes. It Also Deals With Constructions Of Gender During Periods Of Social And Political Change. Social Change Is Usually Described In Terms Of Modernization, Revolution, Cultural Challenges, And Social Movements. Much Of The Standard Literature On These Topics Does Not Examine Women Or Gender, And Thus [the Author] Hopes This Study Will Contribute To An Appreciation Of The Significance Of Gender In The Midst Of Change. Neither Are There Many Sociological Studies On Mena And Afghansitan Or Studies On Women In Mena And Afghanistan From A Sociological Perspective. Myths And Stereotypes Abund Regarding Women, Islam, And The Region, And The Sevents Of September 11 And Since Have Only Compounded Them. This Book Is Intended In Part To Normalize The Middle East By Underscoring The Salience Of Structural Determinants Other Than Religion. It Focuses On The Major Social-change Processes In The Region To Show How Women's Lives Are Shaped Not Only By Islam A
