Contesting Realities : The Public Sphere and Morality in Southern Yemen PDF
by Susanne Dahlgren
Part of the Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East series
Description
As a resident of Aden for more than three years spanning the late years of Marxist South Yemen, Dahlgren presents the reader with an intimate portrait of Yemeni men and women in the home, in the factory, in the office, and in the street, demonstrating that Islamic societies must be understood through a multiplicity of social spheres and morality orders.
Within each space, she examines the range of legal, political, religious, and social regulations that frame gender relations and social dynamics.
Highlighting the diversity of women's and men's positions as a continuum rather than as distinct areas, Dahlgren presents a vivid picture of this dynamic society, providing an in-depth background to today's political upheavals in Yemen.
