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.

Book Synopsis Veiled Sentiments by : Lila Abu-Lughod
Download or read book Veiled Sentiments written by Lila Abu-Lughod and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, Lila Abu-Lughod’s Veiled Sentiments has become a classic ethnography in the field of anthropology. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations, morality, and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But Abu-Lughod’s analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the complexity of culture. This thirtieth anniversary edition includes a new afterword that reflects on developments both in anthropology and in the lives of this community of Awlad 'Ali Bedouins, who find themselves increasingly enmeshed in national political and social formations. The afterword ends with a personal meditation on the meaning—for all involved—of the radical experience of anthropological fieldwork and the responsibilities it entails for ethnographers.

Download or read book Inside the Veil written by H. Jeff W. Linton and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich mystery just waiting to be unravelled by prayerful disciples of Christ, the Word of God, contained in the scriptures, comes alive in Inside the Veil. Author Jeff Linton introduces the idea that God, the author of scripture, has used the names of people and places to hide information that confirms the messages of the Bible. Focusing on the role of prayer in the life of believers, Mr. Linton describes the ingredients of prayer as “incense” coming before Almighty God. As we enter the very presence of God, behind the veil, our words become effective and powerful. With “spiritual eyes” we see the depths of God’s truth and His purpose for our lives. Written in an engaging and accessible voice, Inside the Veil will educate and challenge readers to move even deeper into their relationship with the Lord, coming before Him and His Word with greater understanding and faith. If you have been discouraged with your prayer life at any time in your walk with God, this book can help you! Be encouraged and discover a new vitality that will enhance your relationship with the Lord and your understanding of His Word. Ideal for individual and group study, Inside the Veil will be a valuable addition to church and personal libraries.
Book Synopsis Behind the Veil by : Abdur Raheem Kidwai
Download or read book Behind the Veil written by Abdur Raheem Kidwai and published by APH Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of ten collected articles stands out, at one level, as a contribution to Marginality studies. Its overarching concern is to identity the main contours of the representation of Muslim woman in post-Independence Indian Writings in English (1950-2000). So doing, it examines also whether this representation replicates or modifies the image of Muslim woman as ingrained in Western literary tradition. Among the writers discussed are Anita Desai, Shashi Deshpande, Shashi Tharoor, Manohar Malgonakr, Attia Hossain, Balwant Gargi, Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, Amitav Kumar, Ruskin Bond, Qurratulain Hyder and a host of story writers of Indian regional languages. Besides, the Volume is an extensive Bibliography covering the discourse on Representation and Gender issues, with pointed reference to Muslim woman. New Book

Book excerpt: The only son of an erstwhile ruler of Rajasthan province of India joins the Indian Navy and becomes one of the best fighter pilots of India. He marries a commoner instead of royal and gets thrown out of the fort for tarnishing the image of his father and hurting his pride and honor. He is chosen as commander of the spacecraft Mangalyyan 7 for Mission Mars. Since it is not economically viable by any one country, it is for the first time in the history of space travel, that NASA and ROSCOSMOS join hands with ISRO in Mission Mars. It is also for the first time that the spacecraft travels through the wormhole technology, breaking the barrier of speed of light and becoming the world leader in space travel. The commoner woman proves to be no less than royal blood lineage and helps Mars mission with her extraordinary sixth sense in bringing back the spacecraft to earth. The commander, not only regains pride, honor and the heart of his father, but also the hearts of a billion Indians and the people across the world.

This subject has inflamed passions and generated heated debate in the media in recent years, particularly in the West. This book aims to look at the historical background, theological and social factors underlying the veiling of women in Islam. Such discussion will provide the reader with a well-balanced and unbiased analysis of this important aspect of Islamic practice.
Book Synopsis Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers by : Philip Schaff
Download or read book Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers written by Philip Schaff and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD marked the beginning of a new era in Christianity. For the first time, doctrines were organized into a single creed. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers did most of their writing during and after this important event in Church history. Unlike the previous era of Christian writing, the Nicene and Post-Nicene era is dominated by a few very important and prolific writers. In Volume VI of the 14-volume collected writings of the Nicenes and Post-Nicenes (first published between 1886 and 1889), readers will find Saint Augustines exegesis on the Gospels and the Sermon on the Mount, which strove to interpret and draw meaning out of the text without incorporating the author's personal agenda or bias. Also included in this volume are a selection of Augustines sermons."
