E 818 Die Auflösung der Sowjetunion hat in den Nachfolgestaaten zu einer Suche nach neuen verbindlichen gesellschaftlichen Werten geführt. In der Tschetschenischen Republik kam es unter dem sowjetischen General Dudajew seit 1991 zu einer Wiederbelebung traditioneller, z.T. archaischer Werte, die historischen Überlieferungen entnommen wurden. Unter den extremen Bedingungen von Krieg, Flucht und Exil stellt sich für viele Bewohner Tschetscheniens die Frage nach Herkunft und Identität neu. Die Autorin lässt tschetschenische Frauen ihre Lebensgeschichten erzählen und analysiert anhand des umfangreichen Materials den Wandel ihrer Einstellungen zur Geschichte und Kultur ihres Volkes, ihre Positionierung zu den Traditionen, dem Islam und ihrer Rolle als Frauen. |

D 581 Ibrahim will Schriftsteller werden, seine Verwandten
haben aber andere Pläne für ihn. Er flieht daher von Jerusalem
und beginnt auf dem Land in einem kleinen Dorf als Lehrer zu arbeiten.
Hier verliebt er sich in Mariam. Die Beziehung wird von den DorfbewohnerInnen
kritisch beäugt, nicht zuletzt deswegen, weil Ibrahim Muslim ist
und Mariam Christin. Mariams Brüder wachen selbst aus Brasilien über
ihren Lebenswandel. Und auch Ibrahim beginnt sich in den traditionellen
Ehrbegriffen zu verstricken. Ihre unter dem christlichen Schleier versteckte
Lebenslust verstört ihn. Misstrauen zersetzt ihn, als sie schwanger
wird. Der Ausbruch des Krieges 1967 fällt wie ein Blitzschlag in
eine ausweglose Situation. Als er nach Jahrzehnten des Exils, inzwischen
ein erfolgreicher Geschäftsmann, in die palästinensischen Gebiete
zurückkehrt, macht er sich auf die Suche nach der verlorenen Mariam.
Jedoch das Land und die Menschen haben sich in der Zwischenzeit verändert. |

E 817 Charlene E. Makely describes in this book how the Tibetan Buddhist region of Labrang became incorporated into the People's Republic of China. The author did field work in and around the famous Geluk-sect Tibetan monastery and she also uses archival material for this study. She situates the process of incorporation in the violent upheavals of Maoist socialist transformation that took place from 1950 through the 1970s and in the transition to globalization via Deng Xiaoping's capitalist market reforms of the 1980s and 1990s. She shows in this book the gendered aspects of this process. Her conclusion ist that the incorporation had quite different effects for Tibetan men and women, creating painful dilemmas across generations. |

A 2274 Die österreichische Journalistin Sibylle Hamann beschreibt in diesem Buch ihre Arbeit als Auslandsberichterstatterin. Sie berichtet von ihrer Arbeit selbst, vom Alltag einer Auslandsjournalistin und hinterfragt zugleich den Mythos der Berichterstattung "vor Ort". Sehr kritisch betrachtet Hamann die Auslandsberichterstattung und beschreibt beispielsweise die Macht der Bilder. Sie warnt vor der Flucht in die nächst liegenden Erklärungsmuster und plädiert dafür, immer und überall zweifeln zu dürfen. Auslandsjournalismus, meint Hamann, kann keine letztgültigen Wahrheiten produzieren, sondern muss vor allem genau hinschauen. Das Buch beinhaltet darüber hinaus Originaltexte von Auslandsreportagen der Autorin selber. |

I D 580 Die Verteilung politischer und gesellschaftlicher
Rechte zwischen Frauen und Männern kann als Gradmesser eines jeden
Demokratisierungsprozesses betrachtet werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschreibt
die Autorin die Situation der Frauen in Marokko. Sie erläutert die
kulturellen und historischen Hintergründe, beschreibt die Beteiligung
der Frauen am marokkanischen Unabhängigkeitskampf und beleuchtet
die Entwicklung ihres Verhältnisses zur Politik. Ebenso wird die
Stellung der Frau in der islamischen Lehre und die Stellung des Islam
zur politischen Partizipation der Frauen thematisiert. Dabei wird deutlich,
dass es trotz der Reformpolitik Mohameds IV. besonders in ländlichen
Regionen noch etliche Hürden auf dem Weg zur Gleichberechtigung zu
überwinden gilt. |

F 948 This book analyzes the colonial stereotype of the exotic Pacific island woman. It shows how and why this ideal has persisted and the major role it has played in the colonization of Pacific peoples. While examining colonial culture in its many manifestations, from art, literature, and film to the journals of explorers and missionaries the author rereads not only the canonical texts of Pacific imperialism, but also lesser-known remnants of this cultural heritage with an eye to what they reveal about gender, sexuality, race, and femininity. Over its long history - from the famous (and much romanticized) settlement of Tahitian women and mutineers from the Bounty on Pitcairn Island in 1789 to the South Seas romantic tradition, Gauguin, and beach culture - notions of female primitivism changed in response to the ideological watersheds of Christianity, Enlightenment science, and race theories, as well as the development of democratic nation-states, modernity, and colonialism. The book shows the continuities and differences in representing colonized women across geographical regions and historical epochs and highlights the importance of sexualization and feminization in imperial enterprises. |

G 839 In this volume European and US based researchers look
at the connection between migration and domestic work from different perspectives.
The book is divided into three parts: domestic work - business as usual;
transnational migration spaces: policies, families and household management;
states and markets: migration regimes and strategies. The contributors
elaborate on the phenomenon of 'domestic work' in late modern societies
by discussing different methodological and theoretical approaches in an
interdisciplinary setting. The volume also looks at the gendered aspects
of domestic work; it asks why the re-introduction of domestic workers
in European households has become so popular and will argue that this
phenomenon is challenging gender theories. |

E 816 This volume comprises a selection of papers
from an international conference, held in November 2004 at the Japanese-German
Center Berlin (JDZB). It applies a gender-sensitive perspective on Japan,
discussing issues such as national identity, the changing appeal of role
models, legacies of a misogynous past, gendered education policies, female
imaging in the media, or working women's networks. The transnational dimension
of this perspective is highlighted by comparisons drawn between Japan
and other countries of the region such as Philippines and South Korea.
The authors - Claudia Derichs, Ilse Lenz, Michiko Mae, Annette Schad-Seifert,
Hiromi Tanaka, Mihee Hong, Maria Sachiko Baier, Ulrike Wöhr, Wolfram
Manzenreiter, Susanne Kreitz-Sandberg and Hilaria Gössmann - attend
to concepts of gender and gendered identities as well as to actors within
gendered spaces of society. |

C 787 In Zimbabwe, as in many other parts of Africa, agriculture
is the principal source of livelihood for widows and orphans. Within this
reality, a groundbreaking study was commissioned to investigate the land
and property rights of women and orphans in Zimbabwe in the context of
HIV/AIDS. It also examines the coping strategies, in terms of land-related
livelihoods, adopted by widows and other vulnerable women affected by
the pandemic. Providing revealing empirical evidence and new insights
based on interviews with key informants, focus group discussions and a
semi-structured interview questionnaire, the study is framed around four
Zimbabwean sites located in communal, resettlement and urban areas Buhera,
Bulawayo, Chimanimani and Seke. The research critically examines Zimbabwes
land and agriculture policies, and the utilization and efficacy of legal
redress. It suggests and develops policy responses to cushion the impact
of HIV/AIDS on local communities, especially dispossessed women. While
confirming the vulnerability of widows and other categories of poor and
vulnerable women and children to property rights violation, the study
also analyses the critical roles played by women in establishing and managing
urban and rural support initiatives. |

A 2250 Female genital mutilation (FGM), remains an important cultural practice in many African countries, often serving as a coming-of-age ritual. It is also a practice that has generated international dispute and continues to be at the center of debates over women's rights, the limits of cultural pluralism, the balance of power between local cultures, international human rights, and feminist activism. In our increasingly globalized world, these practices have also begun immigrating to other nations, where transnational complexities vex debates about how to resolve the issue. Bringing together thirteen essays, "Transcultural Bodies" provides an ethnographically rich exploration of FGM among African diasporas in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Contributors analyze changes in ideologies of gender and sexuality in immigrant communities, the frequent marginalization of African women's voices in debates over FGM, and controversies over legislation restricting the practice in immigrant populations. |

E 812 During the years spanning from 1949 to 1961, communist
insurgents fought some 100,000 British troops in the hopes of ending the
British presence in Malaya. What was it like living during that time?
What role did the community of women play in the situation? What compromises
did they have to make to survive? Answers lie in this collection of 16
real-life stories - Malayan women reveal their innermost thoughts on their
hopes for a new society, their changing lives, their evolving role in
society, and their relationships with their male counterparts. |

F 941 Since the early 1980s Ecuador has experienced a series of events unparalleled in its history. Its free market strategies exacerbated the debt crisis, and in response new forms of social movement organizing arose among the countrys poor, including womens groups. The book focuses on womens participation in the political and economic restructuring process of the past twenty-five years, showing how in their daily struggle for survival Ecuadorian women have both reinforced and embraced the neoliberal model yet also challenged its exclusionary nature. Drawing on her ethnographic fieldwork and employing an approach combining political economy and cultural politics, Amy Lind charts the growth of several strands of women's activism and identifies how they have helped redefine, often in contradictory ways, the real and imagined boundaries of neoliberal development discourse and practice. In her analysis of this ambivalent cultural project of modernity in the Andes, she examines state policies and their effects on women of various social sectors; womens community development initiatives and responses to the debt crisis; and the roles played by feminist "issue networks" in reshaping national and international policy agendas in Ecuador and in developing a transnationally influenced, locally based feminist movement. |

A 2256 Als die Vereinten Nationen 1975 das Internationale Jahr der Frau ausriefen, wurde eine neue Ära in der internationalen Frauen- und Entwicklungspolitik eingeleitet. Bis dahin spielten Frauen weder als Akteurinnen noch als Zielgruppe der großen Entwicklungsorganisationen eine Rolle. Dies begann sich erst mit dem 1976 ins Leben gerufenen Entwicklungsfonds der Vereinten Nationen für Frauen zu ändern. Die Autorin stellt ihre Analysen in einen historischen wie institutionellen Kontext. |

D 576 Israeli women do not enjoy the equality, status, and power often attributed
to them by the media and popular culture. Despite significant achievements
and progress, as a whole they continue to earn less than their male counterparts,
are less visible and influential in the political arena, do not share
equal responsibilities or privileges in the military, have unequal rights
and freedoms in family life and law, and are less influential in shaping
the nation's self image and cultural orientation. Bringing together classic
essays by leading scholars of Israeli culture, this reader exposes the
hidden causes of ongoing discrimination and links the restrictions that
Israeli women experience to deeply entrenched structures, including colonial
legacies, religious traditions, capitalism, nationalism, and ongoing political
conflict. In contrast, the essays also explore how women act creatively
to affect social change and shape public discourse in less ostensible
ways. |

G 817 Many Westerners view Islam as a religion that restricts and subordinates women in both private and public life. Yet a surprising number of women in Western Europe and America are converting to Islam. What attracts these women to a belief system that is markedly different from both Western Christianity and Western secularism? What benefits do they gain by converting, and what are the costs? How do Western women converts live their new Islamic faith, and how does their conversion affect their families and communities? How do women converts transmit Islamic values to their children? These are some of the questions that Women Embracing Islam seeks to answer. In this vanguard study of gender and conversion to Islam, leading historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and theologians investigate why non-Muslim women in the United States, several European countries, and South Africa are converting to Islam. Drawing on extensive interviews with female converts, the authors explore the life experiences that lead Western women to adopt Islam, as well as the appeal that various forms of Islam, as well as the Nation of Islam, have for women. The authors find that while no single set of factors can explain why Western women are embracing Islamic faith traditions, some common motivations emerge. These include an attraction to Islam's high regard for family and community, its strict moral and ethical standards, and the rationality and spirituality of its theology, as well as a disillusionment with Christianity and with the unrestrained sexuality of so much of Western culture. |

Darst. ; 225 mm x 148 mm, 378 gr.. - (Kultur und soziale Praxis) ISBN 978-3-89942-670-0 Pb. : ca. EUR 25.80, ca. sfr 43.00 NBN-Nr.: 07,N03,0778 Globalisierung / Multikulturelle Gesellschaft / Familie / Interkulturelle Paarbeziehung Hinter Schlagworten wie Globalität, Globalisierung und Weltgesellschaft verbergen sich mitunter wohlfeile theoretische Konzepte, die jedoch oftmals den gesellschaftlichen Inhalt, die Gesellschaft und Gesellschaftlichkeit konstituierenden Akteure, nicht im Blick haben. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung stehen daher die durch die Globalisierung veränderten sozialräumlichen Beziehungen. Grenzüberschreitende Interaktionsformen bestimmen den Alltag von immer mehr Menschen und ihren Familien. Das Phänomen der räumlich dislozierten - d.h. transnationalen - Familie, inzwischen keine Seltenheit mehr, ist in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung noch weitgehend eine Terra incognita. Kann sie die zunehmend global vernetzte Infrastruktur (Transport- und Kommunikationsmedien) für sich nutzen, um Distanzen zu überbrücken - wodurch die familiären Bindungen (das Familienleben) aufrechterhalten oder gestärkt werden können? Hierbei geht es auch um die Frage, ob transnationale Familien als Bestandteil einer sich formierenden Weltgesellschaft angesehen werden können. |

D 568 This book presents a dialogue between Western and Middle Eastern women.
It provides substantial extracts from Ottoman, Egyptian and British and
American writers each with a biographical and literary introduction that
trace the development of an intellectual, personal and critical dialogue
between women over a period of accelerated social change marked by Arab
nationalism and Egypts move to independence, and the establishment of
the Turkish Republic at the end of the Ottoman Empire. The ways in which
the role of woman as either guardian of tradition or in the vanguard of
change was hotly contested in both countries and by all sides of the political
spectrum is explained in an editors' introduction and photo-essay that
set up the common themes of the collection. "Gender, Modernity and
Liberty" includes writings by Halide Edib, Musbah Haidar, Hoda Shaarawi,
Emine Foat Tugay, Demetra Vaka Brown, Zeyneb Hanoum, Lady Annie Brassey,
Grace Ellison, Annie Harvey, Emmeline Lott, Sophia Poole and Ruth Woodsmall.
Participating in local and international debates, they wrote about the
harem, polygyny, nationalism and modernism and commented on fashion alongside
discussions about feminism and slavery, knowing all the while that their
books were likely to be read through the exoticising frame of Western
Orientalist stereotype. Their success in negotiating the very constraints
that provided the - often prurient - market for their books, reveals a
will to self-determination that speaks to the challenges still faced today
by women from the Middle East and the Muslim world. |
