Book Synopsis Women's Activism and New Media in the Arab World by : Ahmed Al-Rawi
Download or read book Women's Activism and New Media in the Arab World written by Ahmed Al-Rawi and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Arab Spring events in 2011, a number of important women's social movements, as well as female figures and online communities, emerged to create positive change and demand equality with men. In Women's Activism and New Media in the Arab World, Ahmed Al-Rawi discusses and maps out new feminist movements, organizations, and trends, assessing the influence of new media technologies on them and the impact of both on the values and culture of the Middle East. Due to the participation of many women in the events of the Arab Spring, he argues, a new image of Middle Eastern women has emerged in the West. As a result of social media, women have generally become more effective in expressing their views and better connected with each other, yet at the same time some women have been inhibited since many conservative circles use these new technologies to maintain their power. Overall, however, Al-Rawi argues that social media and new mobile technologies are assisting in creating changes that are predominately positive. Often assisted by these new technologies, the real change makers are women who have clear agencies and high hopes and aspirations to create a better future for themselves.

The author then discusses the pedagogical implications of bilingual creativity via a language in literature approach. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation studies, literature and cultural studies.
Book Synopsis China's Foreign Policy in the Arab World, 1955-75 by : Hashim S.H. Behbehani
Download or read book China's Foreign Policy in the Arab World, 1955-75 written by Hashim S.H. Behbehani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s foreign policy in the Arab world is important because it reflects China’s general foreign policy. In this study, first published in 1981, the author draws upon a wealth of previously unpublished and inaccessible material to analyse Chinese attitudes in three cases: the two Arab liberation movements, the Palestine Resistance Movement and the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Oman, and the established and independent State of Kuwait. Since the Arab liberation movements played a significant political role within their fields of operation, it was necessary for China to decide whether these movements did actually fit in with Chinese foreign policy objectives. Dr Behbehani’s analysis of these two case studies provides the basis for a discussion of whether China’s motives in supporting the liberation movements are theoretical or purely practical. China’s support for Kuwait’s political internal continuity is related to the stability of the whole Gulf region. The author analyses Chinese support for Kuwait and the surrounding conservative states on two main bases, political and economic, in the form of trade. It is through these channels, particularly the economic one, that China has sought to establish itself in the Gulf and the Arabian peninsula.
Download or read book Arab America written by Nadine Naber and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arab Americans are one of the most misunderstood segments of the U.S. population, especially after the events of 9/11. In Arab America, Nadine Naber tells the stories of second generation Arab American young adults living in the San Francisco Bay Area, most of whom are political activists engaged in two culturalist movements that draw on the conditions of diaspora, a Muslim global justice and a Leftist Arab movement. Writing from a transnational feminist perspective, Naber reveals the complex and at times contradictory cultural and political processes through which Arabness is forged in the contemporary United States, and explores the apparently intra-communal cultural concepts of religion, family, gender, and sexuality as the battleground on which Arab American young adults and the looming world of America all wrangle. As this struggle continues, these young adults reject Orientalist thought, producing counter-narratives that open up new possibilities for transcending the limitations of Orientalist, imperialist, and conventional nationalist articulations of self, possibilities that ground concepts of religion, family, gender, and sexuality in some of the most urgent issues of our times: immigration politics, racial justice struggles, and U.S. militarism and war.

Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of the Arab Spring by : Larbi Sadiki
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of the Arab Spring written by Larbi Sadiki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 1025 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The self-immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi in Tunisia in December 2010 heralded the arrival of the ‘Arab Spring,’ a startling, yet not unprecedented, era of profound social and political upheaval. The meme of the Arab Spring is characterised by bottom-up change, or the lack thereof, and its effects are still unfurling today. The Routledge Handbook of the Arab Spring seeks to provide a departure point for ongoing discussion of a fluid phenomenon on a plethora of topics, including: Contexts and contests of democratisation The sweep of the Arab Spring Egypt Women and the Arab Spring Agents of change and the technology of protest Impact of the Arab Spring in the wider Middle East and further afield Collating a wide array of viewpoints, specialisms, biases, and degrees of proximity and distance from events that shook the Arab world to its core, the Handbook is written with the reader in mind, to provide students, practitioners, diplomats, policy-makers and lay readers with contextualization and knowledge, and to set the stage for further discussion of the Arab Spring.

Book Synopsis Islam and Popular Culture in Indonesia and Malaysia by : Andrew N. Weintraub
Download or read book Islam and Popular Culture in Indonesia and Malaysia written by Andrew N. Weintraub and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home to approximately one-fifth of the world’s Muslim population, Indonesia and Malaysia are often overlooked or misrepresented in media discourses about Islam. Islam is a religion but there is also a popular culture, or popular cultures of Islam that are mass mediated, commercialized, pleasure-filled, humorous, and representative of large segments of society. During the last forty years, popular forms of Islam, targeted largely towards urbanized youth, have played a key role in the Islamisation of Indonesia and Malaysia. This book focuses on these forms and the accompanying practices of production, circulation, marketing, and consumption of Islam. Dispelling the notion that Islam is monolithic, militaristic, and primarily Middle Eastern, the book emphasizes its dynamic, contested, and performative nature in contemporary South East Asia. Written by leading scholars alongside media figures, such as Rhoma Irama and Ishadi SK, the case studies although not focused on theology per se, illuminate how Muslims (and non-Muslims) in Indonesia and Malaysia make sense of their lives within an increasingly pervasive culture of Islamic images, texts, film, songs, and narratives.

Book Synopsis Arabic Language and Culture Amid the Demands of Globalization by : Shukri B. Abed
Download or read book Arabic Language and Culture Amid the Demands of Globalization written by Shukri B. Abed and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with any other tongue, the Arabic language influences the way Arabic speakers see, judge and relate to the world. It affects the very nature of their perceptions and judgments, and hence constitutes an integral part of a person’s character and identity as an individual and, more importantly, as a member of a group and a society. Languages reflect, indeed measure, the strengths and weaknesses of civilizations as they embody the progress, the innovations and the coherence of these civilizations. The Islamic world’s encounters with other civilizations, particularly the Greek civilization, presented major challenges to the intellectual evolution of Islam at the very early stages of its development as a culture. In the current era of globalization, as in the past, the Arabic language and culture have been deluged by a tremendous influx of new terminology and concepts. As cross-cultural encounters have increased globally due to astonishing developments in information technology and the fast pace with which information and knowledge are transferred to the rest of the world, the need for linguistic adjustments in Arabic is still on the rise in order to convey scientific discoveries, as well as economic and social ideas promulgated by non-Arab nations. The Arabic term for ‘globalization’ (al-cawlama) was coined about two decades ago specifically to describe the impact of the new wave of socio-political and economic ideas, as well as revolutionary developments in the field of telecommunications and electronics. The crushing defeat of the Arab armies by Israel in 1967 and the occupation of Arab lands as a result of this war; the defeat of the Iraqi army by the coalition forces in 1991; US reactions to the 9/11 attacks; the US-led war on Afghanistan; the more recent occupation of Iraq; and perhaps above all the continued occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel, have contributed to fears and concerns among Arabs. Indeed, faced with unprecedented political, economic, military and cultural reverses, the Arab and Islamic worlds find themselves forced into ever deeper levels of introspection about their society and culture. It is hardly surprising that the Arab world seeks to reject globalization based on geopolitical and cultural domination and continues to insist upon an alternative approach based on mutual respect, two-way exchange (tathāquf, rather than cawlama) and the right to selectively adopt innovation. The West would do well to recognize that their best chance of gaining support for globalization from the Arabs (and likely from the rest of the Third World) lies in seeking true partners in the endeavor, respecting the uniqueness of their partners’ cultures and societies, and ensuring that a mutual exchange with Western culture and society is perceived as something worth embarking upon, rather than as something to fear.
Book Synopsis The Middle East and the United States by : Haim Shaked
Download or read book The Middle East and the United States written by Haim Shaked and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1980-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like its two predecessors in the "Collected Papers "series, this volume is based on the proceedings of an international colloquium held at Tel Aviv University. The colloquium was organized in March 1978 by the Shiloah Center in cooperation with the University's newly established Center for Strategic Studies. As the title and subtitle imply, special emphasis was laid on the images and perceptions that people of the Middle East and the United States have had of one another, and the way in which their relationship is viewed from within the area, from Washington and from other pertinent vantage points. The conference also dealt with five other major issues: the historic background and evolution of American policy in the Middle East (papers by Elie Kedourie from the London School of Economics and Wilfrid Knapp from Oxford University); American interests in the Middle East (papers by Uzi Arad from Tel Aviv University, Gad Gilbar from Haifa University, and Bernard Reich from George Washington University); the international context within which American policy in the area is conducted (Ya'acov Ro'i from Tel Aviv University, Richard Rosecrance from Cornell University, and Udo Steinbach from the Orient Institut in Hamburg); the formulation of American policies in the Middle East (Steven Spiegel from UCLA); and America's bilateral relationship with several Middle Eastern states (papers by Yoram Dinstein, Yair Evron, Gideon Gera, Itamar Rabinovich. anc Shimon Shamir from Tel Aviv University, and John Waterbury from Princeton University); the papers which dealt directly with views, images, and their depiction were presented by Bernard Lewis from Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, and Haim Shaked from Tel Aviv University.

Book Synopsis How Long Have You Been With Us? by : Khaled Mattawa
Download or read book How Long Have You Been With Us? written by Khaled Mattawa and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation. “Like the myriad companions and comrades that he summons from their exile, Khaled Mattawa is himself a ‘poet-stranger.’ In the essays, ‘written in a poet’s prose,’ collected in How Long Have You Been With Us, Mattawa evokes a powerful amalgam of the personal intimacy of the solitary and the political challenge of solidarity.” —Barbara Harlow, University of Texas at Austin “If you’ve read about exile, you’ve read about Brodsky and Milosz—just as, if you’ve read about translation, you’ve read about Walter Benjamin and George Steiner. While Khaled Mattawa has mastered these masters, his essays about world literature serve as a tour of the rest of the world. He introduces you to the writers you haven’t heard of but should from contemporary Libya and colonial South Asia to Latin America and China. When Mattawa invokes Saadi Youssef or Rabinidrath Tagore, Mohja Kahf or Toru Dutt, the effect is to deprovincialize American literature.” —Ken Chen, The Asian American Writers’ Workshop Khaled Mattawa, an American poet of Libyan origin, explores various dynamic developments shaping American poetry as it is being practiced today. Arising from an incredibly diverse range personal backgrounds, lyric traditions, and even languages, American poetry is transforming into a truly international form. Mattawa, who also translates Arabic poetry into American English and American poetry into Arabic, explores the poetics and politics of cross-cultural exchange and literary translation that fostered such transformation. The essays in this collection also shed light on Mattawa’s development as a poet and provide numerous portraits of the poets who helped shaped his poetry.

Book Synopsis The Changing Middle East by : Bahgat Korany
Download or read book The Changing Middle East written by Bahgat Korany and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of globalization, change is the order of the day, but the conventional view of the Arab Middle East is that of a rigid and even stagnant region. This book counters the static perception and focuses instead on regional dynamics. The international team of contributors evaluate the development of Arab civil society; examine the opportunities and challenges facing the Arab media; link the debates concerning Arab political thought to the evolving regional and international context; look at the transformation of armed Islamist movements into deradicalized factions; assess how and to what extent women's empowerment is breaking down patriarchy; and analyze the rise of non-state actors such as Hizbollah and Hamas that rival central political authority.
