Remaking Women by Lila Abu-Lughod
Focuses on the 'woman question' in the Middle East, when gender became a highly charged nationalist issue tied up in complex ways with the West. This book is a radical challenge to any easy equation of modernity with progress, emancipation, and the empowerment of women.
"Abu-Lughod's latest offering is an edited collection of literary criticism and historical analysis that assesses the status of theorizing about 'woman's emancipation' in the Middle East.. Largely historical, the collection serves as a wonderful introduction to the field."--Choice
