Riyadh, a City of Closed Spaces -- 2. Getting Around -- 3. Coming Together -- 4. Breaking the Rules -- 5. Consuming Femininities -- Conclusion -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- References -- Index The cities of Saudi Arabia are among the most gender segregated in the world. In recent years the Saudi government has felt increasing international pressure to offer greater roles for women in society. Implicit in these calls for reform, however, is an assumption that the only "real" society is male society. Little consideration has been given to the rapidly evolving activities within women's spaces. This book joins young urban women in their daily lives—in the workplace, on the female university campus, at the mall—to show how these women are transforming Saudi cities from within and creating their own urban, professional, consumerist lifestyles. As young Saudi women are emerging as an increasingly visible social group, they are shaping new social norms. Their shared urban spaces offer women the opportunity to shed certain constraints and imagine themselves in new roles. But to feel included in this peer group, women must adhere to new constraints: to be sophisticated, fashionable, feminine, and modern. The position of "other" women—poor, rural, or non-Saudi women—is increasingly marginalized. While young urban women may embody the image of a "reformed" Saudi nation, the reform project ultimately remains incomplete, drawing new hierarchies and lines of exclusion among women.Public spaces -- Social aspects -- Saudi ArabiaUrban women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditionsYoung women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditionsYoung womenSocial conditionsSaudi ArabiaUrban womenSocial conditionsSaudi ArabiaPublic spacesSocial aspectsSaudi ArabiaGender & Ethnic StudiesHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCGender Studies & SexualityHILCCPublic spaces -- Social aspects -- Saudi Arabia.Urban women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditions.Young women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditions.Young womenSocial conditionsUrban womenSocial conditionsPublic spacesSocial aspectsGender & Ethnic StudiesSocial SciencesGender Studies & Sexuality305.242 209538Le Renard Amelie, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1560552DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910786699303321A Society of Young Women3826635UNINA04089nam 2200637 a 450 991096384530332120251116180940.01-61277-179-3(CKB)2550000001038784(EBL)3119629(SSID)ssj0000836323(PQKBManifestationID)12428086(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000836323(PQKBWorkID)11014559(PQKB)10013981(MiAaPQ)EBC3119629(Au-PeEL)EBL3119629(CaPaEBR)ebr10657709(CaONFJC)MIL561555(OCoLC)868286188(BIP)43283062(BIP)47601154(EXLCZ)99255000000103878419980209d1998 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWar by revolution Germany and Great Britain in the Middle East in the era of World War I /Donald M.

The author describes in some detail how British and German policies in the Middle East involved the native tribes in the First World War and the impact these policies had on the final peace settlements. Students of the First World War and the Middle East will find this an important contribution to the literature of the period." --George O. Kent, professor emeritus, University of Maryland at College Park German leaders believed that in the event of a war among European powers, they could organize and exploit a unified Islam. In addition to providing military assistance to the Ottomans, they collaborated with the Turks in appealing to pan-Islamism to stoke the fire of native Muslim revolts against the British in Egypt and India, and they inflamed anti-British passions in the Turkish provinces of Arabia and Mesopotamia and in Libya, Abyssinia, Persia, and Afghanistan. Key British leaders panicked after defeats at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia, They feared pan-Islamism and a "holy war" directed against Britain's control of Muslim lands and its rule in India. At the war's end, Britain and France purposely destroyed the Turkish Empire and divided its former lands among themselves and the Arabs.World War, 1914-1918Diplomatic historyMiddle EastForeign relationsGermanyMiddle EastForeign relationsGreat BritainGermanyForeign relationsMiddle EastGreat BritainForeign relationsMiddle EastGreat BritainForeign relationsGermanyGermanyForeign relationsGreat BritainWorld War, 1914-1918Diplomatic history.940.3/2McKale Donald M.1943-1787701MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963845303321War by revolution4478164UNINA
