Book Synopsis The Women of Egypt by : Elizabeth Cooper
Download or read book The Women of Egypt written by Elizabeth Cooper and published by Theclassics.Us. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...she replied, " Certainly, she did nothing. They never liked each other and could not get along, so he divorced her. She married again and is happy; my husband, I hope, is happy, and it is much better than living together hating each other." The husband may divorce the wife without any misbehaviour on her part, and without assigning any reason. A woman may have the judgment of divorce pronounced three times against her before it is necessary for her to leave her husband's house. The first time they may make peace without the Kadi's clerk, in the second they must have the assent of the oflicial religious man, and in the third the wife cannot return unless she be married to another man and divorced by him, when, if they wish, she may return as a new wife with a new betrothal and a new gift of money to her people. This third degree is rarely pronounced and then revoked, as the law is to enable the couple to think of the penalty and be cautious in exceeding the two-fold limit allowed. Often the man sends the wife away and does not finally divorce her, in so doing not allowing her to remarry. In that case she may go to the official and demand a divorce. Also in some marriage contracts it is stipulated that the wife has the right to divorce the husband for certain stated reasons. The Court is never consulted in questions of either marriage or divorce unless the parties refuse to agree to the arrangements. In every quarter of the city and in every village there is an official who gives certificates of divorce, the copies of which are kept in a Government register. A divorced wife must remain single three months before she may remarry, but a man may marry immediately. If the divorced couple have children, a girl stays with...

Book Synopsis A History of Egypt from the End of the Neolithic Period to the Death of Cleopatra VII B.C. 30 (Routledge Revivals) by : E. A. Wallis Budge
Download or read book A History of Egypt from the End of the Neolithic Period to the Death of Cleopatra VII B.C. 30 (Routledge Revivals) written by E. A. Wallis Budge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir E. A. Wallis Budge (1857-1934) was Keeper of the British Museum’s department of oriental antiquities from 1894 until his retirement in 1924. Carrying out many missions to Egypt in search of ancient objects, Budge was hugely successful in collecting papyri, statues and other artefacts for the trustees of the British Museum: numbering into the thousands and of great cultural and historical significance. Budge published well over 100 monographs, which shaped the development of future scholarship and are still of great academic value today, dealing with subjects such as Egyptian religion, history and literature. This volume, first published in 1901 as part of the Egypt and Chaldaea series, is the first of eight volumes by Budge dealing with different periods in the history of Egypt. The narrative begins with an account of Egypt and her people in the latter part of the Neolithic period, and ends with the description of her conquest by the Romans under Caesar Octavianus, B.C. 30. Budge considers the great excavations of the nineteenth century in the first volume and, alongside detailed illustrations, provides a fascinating analysis of the dynastic kings.

Book Synopsis Performing Piety by : Karin van Nieuwkerk
Download or read book Performing Piety written by Karin van Nieuwkerk and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, Egypt witnessed a growing revival of religiosity among large sectors of the population, including artists. Many pious stars retired from art, “repented” from “sinful” activities, and dedicated themselves to worship, preaching, and charity. Their public conversions were influential in spreading piety to the Egyptian upper class during the 1990s, which in turn enabled the development of pious markets for leisure and art, thus facilitating the return of artists as veiled actresses or religiously committed performers. Revisiting the story she began in “A Trade like Any Other”: Female Singers and Dancers in Egypt, Karin van Nieuwkerk draws on extensive fieldwork among performers to offer a unique history of the religious revival in Egypt through the lens of the performing arts. She highlights the narratives of celebrities who retired in the 1980s and early 1990s, including their spiritual journeys and their influence on the “pietization” of their fans, among whom are the wealthy, relatively secular, strata of Egyptian society. Van Nieuwkerk then turns to the emergence of a polemic public sphere in which secularists and Islamists debated Islam, art, and gender in the 1990s. Finally, she analyzes the Islamist project of “art with a mission” and the development of Islamic aesthetics, questioning whether the outcome has been to Islamize popular art or rather to popularize Islam. The result is an intimate thirty-year history of two spheres that have tremendous importance for Egypt—art production and piety.
