Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book sheds light on some of the most critical issues impeding theadvancement of women’s rights post Arab Spring, such as patriarchy, barriers to women’s agency in the legal and socioeconomicrealms, women's access to the decision-making process, citizenship rights, andthe impact of conflict on women’s status. It offers adistinct perspective that takes into account the diversity of the Arab worldand presents a theoretical framework on the study of women’s empowerment amidthe transformations that have shaped the social and political fabrics of Arabsocieties. Empowering Women after theArab Spring represents cutting-edge research from a variety of academicdisciplines — anthropology, political science, and sociology — and presents comparativeanalyses from places including the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Egypt, andTunisia. This volume offers one of the first systematic efforts to combinequalitative and quantitative research to draw a more accurate picture of therealities of Middle Eastern women.
