Download or read book Veiled Honour written by Satya Colpani and published by [email protected]. This book was released on 2001 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veiled Honour tells the story of women forced into loveless marriage, and their conflict between family duty and their desire for freedom, love, and education. It echoes with the gossip of women caught between traditions of arranged marriage and romantic alternatives offered by pulp fiction and Bollywood. The men are victims of their own private illusions of wealth and status. A battle of the sexes takes place within fortunes and frustrations of intersecting families. Set in Fiji in a post-colonial era, and partly in Australia, the characters' lives are affected by foreign contacts and changes happening within society. The book is rich in social history, with a movement of people of diverse cultures on a tropical island, a colourful and 'idyllic paradise.' Satya Colpani poignantly reveals through dialogue and humour, the way the lives of Indo-Fijian women are largely determined by their situation in a particular time and place.
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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veiled Honor gives us a glimpse into an American's encounter with the radically changing Arab world, particularly Saudi Arabia, before and after 9/11. From the shock of seeing how women (and non-Muslims) are treated to the fears and suspicions she and we all have come to feel regarding that part of the world, the author paints a sobering picture of the problems and challenges facing the Arab world today as it struggles with the forces of both modernity and radical Islam. At the same time, Ms. Ross challenges us in the West to respond to the radicalization of the Arab world and to explore how we might prod those problematic segments to adopt enlightened views of life, liberty, religion, and freedom without imposing our culture on them or striking at their dignity and religious values. Clearly, the world is going to be more and more split between the forces of radicalism emanating mainly from the Islamic world on the one hand and the voices of moderation arising from the rest of the world among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Veiled Honor gives us a remarkable insight into the evolving Arab world and the challenges we in the West face in dealing with it.

She's just received a letter from her parents, missionaries in coastal Africa, stating they are in dire need of more personnel. Should Callie give up her governess job and join her parents in their important work? Is God calling her to the mission field, or does she just want to escape the emotional scars of being jilted by her former beau? When she enrolls young Thomas Bridgeport in golf lessons, Callie meets Wesley Townsend, who urges Callie to take lessons, as well. During their time at the golf course, Callie comes to care for Wesley--until she discovers hidden secrets about his past. Then expensive jewels go missing from various homes on the island, and suspicion is aimed in Callie's direction. As the investigation continues, Callie wonders if she should escape it all by going to Africa. After the secrets he kept about his past, will Wesley ever be a man she can honor and trust for the rest of her life?

Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence As Muslim women continue to be a focus of media-led debate, Naaz Rashid uses original scholarship and empirical research to examine how Muslim women are represented in policy discourse and how the trope of the Muslim woman is situated within national debates about Britishness, the death of multiculturalism and global concerns over international terrorism. Analysing the relevance of class, citizenship status, and regional differences, Veiled threats is a valuable addition to the burgeoning literature on Muslims in the UK post 9/11. It will be of interest to academics and students in public and social policy, race equality, gender, and faith-based policy.
