Drawing on travel narratives, harem literature, and other stories, Heffernan argues that women's bodies have been used to exacerbate the divide between religion and reason in the eighteenth century, the Islamic umma and the Western nation in the nineteenth, and Islamism and global capitalism in the contemporary period. Through the study of the writings of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Anna Bowman Dodd, Demetra Vaka Brown, Zeyneb Hanoum, and others, Heffernan's book demonstrates the ways in which these works complicate and interrupt these divides, opening up new opportunities for a more constructive dialogue between East and West."--Amazon.com.Veils in literatureVeilsSocial aspectsVeilsHistoryMuslim women in literatureIslamic literatureChristian interpretationsVoiles (Coiffures) dans la littératureVoiles (Coiffures)Aspect socialVoiles (Coiffures)HistoireMusulmanes dans la littératureVoyageArt d'écrireHistoire et critiqueVoyageusesMoyen-OrientHistoireLibros electronicos.Veils in literature.VeilsSocial aspects.VeilsHistory.Muslim women in literature.Islamic literatureChristian interpretations.Voiles (Coiffures) dans la littérature.Voiles (Coiffures)Aspect social.Voiles (Coiffures)Histoire.Musulmanes dans la littérature.VoyageArt d'écrireHistoire et critique.VoyageusesHistoire.809.933559Heffernan Teresa, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1740386DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910861073003321Veiled Figures4166038UNINA
