Download or read book Salaam, Love written by Ayesha Mattu and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the editors of the groundbreaking anthology Love, InshAllah comes a provocative new exploration of the most intimate parts of Muslim men’s lives Muslim men are stereotyped as either oversexed Casanovas willing to die for seventy-two virgins in heaven or controlling, big-bearded husbands ready to rampage at the hint of dishonor. The truth is, there are millions of Muslim men trying to figure out the complicated terrain of love, sex, and relationships just like any other American man. In Salaam, Love, Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi provide a space for American Muslim men to speak openly about their romantic lives, offering frank, funny, and insightful glimpses into their hearts—and bedrooms. The twenty-two writers come from a broad spectrum of ethnic, racial, and religious perspectives—including orthodox, cultural, and secular Muslims—reflecting the strength and diversity of their faith community and of America. By raising their voices to share stories of love and heartbreak, loyalty and betrayal, intimacy and insecurity, these Muslim men are leading the way for all men to recognize that being open and honest about their feelings is not only okay—it’s intimately connected to their lives and critical to their happiness and well-being.
Book Synopsis The New Arab Man by : Marcia C. Inhorn
Download or read book The New Arab Man written by Marcia C. Inhorn and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-25 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle Eastern Muslim men have been widely vilified as terrorists, religious zealots, and brutal oppressors of women. The New Arab Man challenges these stereotypes with the stories of ordinary Middle Eastern men as they struggle to overcome infertility and childlessness through assisted reproduction. Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research across the Middle East with hundreds of men from a variety of social and religious backgrounds, Marcia Inhorn shows how the new Arab man is self-consciously rethinking the patriarchal masculinity of his forefathers and unseating received wisdoms. This is especially true in childless Middle Eastern marriages where, contrary to popular belief, infertility is more common among men than women. Inhorn captures the marital, moral, and material commitments of couples undergoing assisted reproduction, revealing how new technologies are transforming their lives and religious sensibilities. And she looks at the changing manhood of husbands who undertake transnational "egg quests"--set against the backdrop of war and economic uncertainty--out of devotion to the infertile wives they love. Trenchant and emotionally gripping, The New Arab Man traces the emergence of new masculinities in the Middle East in the era of biotechnology.

Book Synopsis Political Islam and Masculinity by : Joshua M. Roose
Download or read book Political Islam and Masculinity written by Joshua M. Roose and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of Muslim identity–and, more specifically, Muslim masculinities, political loyalty, and action–has become the central pivot for the debate on the place of Islam in the West, state polices on multiculturalism, and even foreign policy towards the Middle East. Young, western-born Muslim men are central figures in these questions, yet their lives and identities remain poorly understood. Political Islam and Masculinity: Muslim Men in Australia reveals important and timely insights into why young Muslim men, often from very similar social backgrounds, are pursuing such dramatically different political paths in the name of Islam. Based on an unprecedented depth of engagement and quality of sources, this book examines the key social influences behind exceptional examples of political action by young Australian Muslim men who have extended their reach into the international realm, from the streets of Jakarta to the battlefields of Syria and Iraq.
Book Synopsis Arab Masculinities by : Konstantina Isidoros
Download or read book Arab Masculinities written by Konstantina Isidoros and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arab Masculinities provides a groundbreaking analysis of Arab men's lives in the precarious aftermath of the 2011 Arab uprisings. It challenges received wisdoms and entrenched stereotypes about Arab men, offering new understandings of rujula, or masculinity, across the Middle East and North Africa. The 10 individual chapters of the book foreground the voices and stories of Arab men as they face economic precarity, forced displacement, and new challenges to marriage and family life. Rich in ethnographic details, they illuminate how men develop alternative strategies of affective labor, how they attempt to care for themselves and their families within their local moral worlds, and what it means to be a good son, husband, father, and community member. Arab Masculinities sheds light on the most private spaces of Arab men's lives—offering stories that rarely enter the public realm. It is a pioneering volume that reflects the urgent need for new anthropological scholarship on men and masculinities in a changing Middle East.
Book Synopsis Reconceiving the Second Sex by : Marcia C. Inhorn
Download or read book Reconceiving the Second Sex written by Marcia C. Inhorn and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive social science research, particularly by anthropologists, has explored women’s reproductive lives, their use of reproductive technologies, and their experiences as mothers and nurturers of children. Meanwhile, few if any volumes have explored men’s reproductive concerns or contributions to women’s reproductive health: Men are clearly viewed as the “second sex” in reproduction. This volume argues that the marginalization of men is an oversight of considerable proportions. It sheds new light on male reproduction from a cross-cultural, global perspective, focusing not only upon men in Europe and America but also those in the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Both heterosexual and homosexual, married and unmarried men are featured in this volume, which assesses concerns ranging from masculinity and sexuality to childbirth and fatherhood.

Book Synopsis Youth Gangs and Street Children by : Paula Heinonen
Download or read book Youth Gangs and Street Children written by Paula Heinonen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly expanding population of youth gangs and street children is one of the most disturbing issues in many cities around the world. These children are perceived to be in a constant state of destitution, violence and vagrancy, and therefore must be a serious threat to society, needing heavy-handed intervention and ‘tough love’ from concerned adults to impose societal norms on them and turn them into responsible citizens. However, such norms are far from the lived reality of these children. The situation is further complicated by gender-based violence and masculinist ideologies found in the wider Ethiopian culture, which influence the proliferation of youth gangs. By focusing on gender as the defining element of these children’s lives — as they describe it in their own words — this book offers a clear analysis of how the unequal and antagonistic gender relations that are tolerated and normalized by everyday school and family structures shape their lives at home and on the street.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and to what extent have Islamic legal scholars and Middle Eastern lawmakers, as well as Middle Eastern Muslim physicians and patients, grappled with the complex bioethical, legal, and social issues that are raised in the process of attempting to conceive life in the face of infertility? This path-breaking volume explores the influence of Islamic attitudes on Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) and reveals the variations in both the Islamic jurisprudence and the cultural responses to ARTs.

Book Synopsis Gender, Considered by : Sarah Fenstermaker
Download or read book Gender, Considered written by Sarah Fenstermaker and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers reflections from 15 US based feminist social scientists about gender – as orienting framework, as one aspect of an intersectional approach, as a feature of intellectual identity, and as a problematic construct. Gender as an analytic, dynamic concept has had an important impact within and across social sciences in the past several decades. That impact for some arose in dialogue with interdisciplinary women’s studies, and was sometimes troubled both in women’s studies and in relation to other interdisciplines and disciplines. As a new generation of gender scholars embarks on their careers in social science, Fenstermaker and Stewart's collection provides scholars an opportunity to reflect on the course of different disciplinary histories and autobiographies, as well as illuminate individual scholarly craft and disciplinary direction as our understanding of gender has unfolded over time. The volume will also represent one kind of collective wisdom to inspire younger scholars.

Book Synopsis Before You Say I Do... to a Muslim by : Sarah Ibrahim
Download or read book Before You Say I Do... to a Muslim written by Sarah Ibrahim and published by Advancing Native Missions. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many young Western women are falling for the charms of Muslim men, marrying them and converting to Islam. They are being misled by the idea that Islam will give them honor, dignity, respect and hope for Salvation. But does Islam truly offer what it claims? Most Muslim women do not complain because they lack the true knowledge of their own religion and are under constant fear and oppression. The Islamic teachings of how to treat a woman and what her consequences may be for petty mistakes may unnerve you, but you will learn that this is the true face of Islam. Using the Qur'an and Hadiths as the main source, this book sets out to prove beyond any doubt that women are ill-treated by Muslim men no matter what part of the world they are in. This abusive treatment is not the result of domestic or anger issues, but actually the following of so-called divine teachings. By sharing what you read in this book, you can make a significant difference in the lives of young women as they are being drawn in by this satanic ideology. If we do nothing, our silence will definitely affect future generations, as well as impact our freedoms.
