Book Synopsis Perspectives of Five Kuwaiti Women in Leadership Roles by : Souad T. Ali
Download or read book Perspectives of Five Kuwaiti Women in Leadership Roles written by Souad T. Ali and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advances made in women’s issues in the Gulf State of Kuwait during the last sixty years have been widely commented upon, but limited academic research has been published on their material effects. In 2005, Kuwaiti women received the right to both vote and to run in elections to Parliament—the first women in the conservative Arab Gulf bloc to do so. This book presents five remarkable women leaders in Kuwait, including one of the first elected Kuwaiti female Members of Parliament, an art advocate and museum founder, a national hero and oil industry leader, a university founder, and a current, controversial MP. In intimate conversations with the author, they share their thoughts on topics such as gender relations and equality, the current women’s rights movement, the role of religion in politics and education, and female leaders’ visibility and impact. Their different backgrounds, interpretations of Islam, and outlooks on the future of their country combine to embody the changes involving women’s issues in Kuwait that have occurred since the mid-twentieth century. Even as Muslim feminists’ critique creates new arenas in Islamic theology and stridently conservative forms of Islamism become increasingly visible in the public space, the material effects of the advances in women’s issues in Kuwait have received little academic attention until now. A book that both complicates and contributes to understandings of women, Islam, and social change, this important work will be of great interest to scholars in religious studies, women’s and gender studies, and Middle Eastern studies, as well as reformers throughout the region who continue to find inspiration in Kuwait’s “Blue Revolution.”

Download or read book Kuwait written by Hal Marcovitz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuwait came to the world's attention in the summer of 1990, when Iraq invaded the tiny emirate. Though Kuwait was liberated within eight months, it took more than 10 years and $160 billion for the country to recover from the devastation caused by the Iraqi occupation. The citizens of Kuwait are among the most prosperous in the world, thanks to the country's oil wealth. Beneath Kuwait's sands is an estimated 10 percent of the world's oil reserves. After the 1991 Gulf War, Kuwait's rulers spoke about the possibility of bringing democracy to their country, but this has not happened-only about one-third of Kuwaitis are eligible to vote, and the ruling al-Sabah family holds great power over the nation's elected assembly. However, Kuwait remains a key U.S. ally in the turbulent Middle East. Discusses the geography, history, economy, government, religion, people, foreign relations, and major cities of Kuwait.

It describes MB policies and strategies during challenging times. It traces the circumstances surrounding the emergence of the MB and focuses on its development and its mobilisation strategy. It is certainly one of the first focused studies on MB from its conception in 1941 up to 1991.

Book Synopsis Islamic Extremism in Kuwait by : Falah Abdullah al-Mdaires
Download or read book Islamic Extremism in Kuwait written by Falah Abdullah al-Mdaires and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to provide a complete overview of Islamic extremism in Kuwait. It traces the development of Islamist fundamentalist groups in Kuwait, both Shiite and Sunni, from the beginning of the twentieth century. It outlines the nature and origins of the many different groups, considers their ideology and organization, shows how their activities are intertwined with the wider economy, society and politics to the extent that they are now a strong part of society, and discusses their armed activities, including terrorist activities. Although focusing on Kuwait, it includes overage of the activities of Islamist groups in other Gulf States. It also discusses the relation between Ruling Families with Islamist political groups, thereby demonstrating that the intertwining of Islamic ideology and armed activities with politics is not a new development in the region.
Book Synopsis Kuwait: the Transformation of an Oil State by : Jill Crystal
Download or read book Kuwait: the Transformation of an Oil State written by Jill Crystal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuwait, unlike most of its neighbours, has a well-established national identity and a long history as a nation, dating back to the eighteenth century. In this book, first published in 1992, Dr. Jill Crystal focuses on two recurring themes in Kuwaiti history: one, the preservation of a sense of community in the face of radical economic, social and political transformations; the second, internal rivalry over the conventions governing relations among members of the community. Crystal skilfully weaves these themes into a broad profile of Kuwait, analysing the nation’s transformation from a pre-oil to an oil economy; its social structure and composition, including the country’s tribal roots and key divisions involving class, gender and immigrant labour; political tensions resulting from the nation’s sudden wealth and the accompanying changes in social structure; and its relations with other countries in the Gulf and the Middle East.
Download or read book Lifting the Veil written by Gunmeen Singh and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Position Of Women In The Muslim Societies, Especially In West Asia, Has Been A Subject Of Constant Conjecture. Traditional Mindsets And Cultural Hindrances Have Long Kept Women Behind The Veil, Leaving Them At The Mercy Of A Male-Dominated Society. A Widely Prevalent Notion Is That Women In Theses Countries Are Discriminated Against Far More Than Their Counterparts In Other Parts Of The World. There Is More Than An Iota Of Truth In Such A Perception. But, As The Present Study Finds Out, The Situation In The Six States Of The Gulf Cooperation Council, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia And A United Arab Emirates Is Not As Black And White As It Seems. A Closer Analysis Reveals Each Of These States Striving In Its Own Way To Provide The Other Half Of The Population With Better Rather Than Equal Opportunities. Despite Notable Success, Each State Has Its Own Scales Of Progress And Expectedly Has Many More Miles To Go.
Book Synopsis The Manpower Problem in Kuwait by : Shamlan Y. Alessa
Download or read book The Manpower Problem in Kuwait written by Shamlan Y. Alessa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period since the Second World War saw a spectacular transformation of the Kuwaiti economy, making it one of the world’s major oil states with one of the highest per capita incomes. This rapid transformation, however, has brought with it attendant problems. This book, first published in 1981, examines the critical issue of the Kuwaiti labour force: some three-quarters of it is expatriate labour, and the Kuwaiti portion suffers from a high illiteracy rate. Dr Alessa isolates the various factors responsible for Kuwait’s manpower problems, and puts forward a number of original solutions.
Download or read book Price of Honor written by Jan Goodwin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK “Explains powerfully how Muslim women are affected by the rise of fundamentalism.”—Dan Rather In recent years, the expanding movement of militant Islam has changed the way millions think, behave, dress, and live, but nowhere has its impact been more powerfully felt than in its dramatic, often devastating effect on the lives of women. Award-winning journalist Jan Goodwin traveled through ten Islamic countries and interviewed hundreds of Muslim women, from professionals to peasants, from royalty to rebels. The result is an unforgettable journey into a world where women are confined, isolated, even killed for the sake of a “code of honor” created and zealously enforced by men. Price of Honor brings to life a world in which women have become pawns in a bitter power game, and gives readers a provocative look inside Muslim society today—in their own words.
