In this book, Stefanie Van de Peer traces the very beginnings of Arab women making documentaries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), from the 1970s and 1980s in Egypt and Lebanon, to the 1990s and 2000s in Morocco and Syria.

Supporting a historical overview of the documentary form in the Arab world with a series of in-depth case studies, Van de Peer looks at the work of pioneering figures like Ateyyat El Abnoudy, the 'mother of Egyptian documentary', Tunisia's Selma Baccar and the Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri. Addressing the context of the films' production, distribution and exhibition, the book also asks why these women held on to the ideals of a type of filmmaking that was unlikely to be accepted by the censor, and looks at precisely how the women documentarists managed to frame expressions of dissent with the tools available to the documentary maker. 606 $aDocumentary films$zMiddle East$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDocumentary films$zAfrica, North$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen motion picture producers and directors$zAfrica, North$xHistory 606 $aWomen motion picture producers and directors$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aCensorship$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aCensorship$zAfrica, North$xHistory 607 $aAfrica, North$2fast 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 610 $aPerforming Arts 610 $aFilm 610 $aDirection & Production 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen motion picture producers and directors$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen motion picture producers and directors$xHistory. 615 0$aCensorship$xHistory. 615 0$aCensorship$xHistory. 676 $a070.18174927 700 $aVan de Peer$b Stefanie$0790068 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996465264603316 996 $aNegotiating dissidence$92832020 997 $aUNISA
