UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:78344227 AB - Cheryl Rubenberg's richly textured analysis provides a case study of the multifaceted and deleterious effects of patriarchy among Palestinians living in the rural villages and refugee camps of the West Bank: its negative consequences for men as well as women, for democratization, and for progress toward the creation of a more just, equitable, and prosperous society. Privileging the voices of her interviewees, Rubenberg reveals how external social factors—dispossession, occupation, poverty—have combined with internalized family and kinship structures to exacerbate gender inequalities and women's subordination. Equally important, she also highlights women's successes as they devise strategies to meet the challenges they confront daily. ER -
