Is their participation in the Islamic political project--including violent resistance against foreign invasion and occupation--the result of coercion, or of choice? Questioning assumptions about female powerlessness in Muslim societies, Maria Holt and Haifaa Jawad explore the resistance struggles taking place in Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, and elsewhere in the Middle East from the perspectives of the women involved. The authors make extensive use of vivid personal testimonies as they examine the influence of such factors as religion, patriarchy, and traditional practices in determining women?s modes of participation in conflicts. In the process, they add to our knowledge not only of how women are affected by political violence, but also of how their involvement is beginning to change the rules that govern their societies. 606 $aWomen$zArab countries$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen and religion$zArab countries 606 $aWomen and war$zArab countries 606 $aPolitical participation$zArab countries$y21st century 606 $aArab Spring, 2010- 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen and religion 615 0$aWomen and war 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aArab Spring, 2010- 676 $a305.40917/4927 700 $aHolt$b Maria$01724895 702 $aJawad$b H.
