| book description |
Contemporary Arab Women Revolutionaries: Radical Traditions offers a groundbreaking interdisciplinary examination of Arab women’s radical modes of resistance from the 1970s to the present. Spanning literary, visual, political, social, digital, and translational practices, the volume reveals how women across the Arab world and its diasporas have established and transformed cultural, artistic, and spiritual traditions into powerful tools for confronting patriarchal, colonial, and capitalist structures. Bringing together leading scholars in literature, film, visual culture, oral history, digital activism, and translation, the collection traces feminist interventions across key themes, including liberation and human rights, the disruption of social and gender norms, counter-memory as resistance, feminist resistance in conflict zones, and digital and translational activism. From Syrian Sufi-inflected poetics and Lebanese women combatants to Palestinian filmmakers, Sahrawi activists, and emerging dissident voices across Saudi Arabia, the Maghreb, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq, the chapters illuminate the creative, strategic, and often paradoxical ways women contest and reconfigure power. Rich in case studies, multimodal analysis, and decolonial feminist theory, this landmark volume offers an indispensable framework for understanding the depth, complexity, and transnational reach of contemporary Arab feminist praxis.
