"Karin van Nieuwkerk's look at the Egyptian entertainment trade ... explores the lives of female performers and the reasons why work they regard as "a trade like any other" is considered disreputable in Egyptian society. In particular, she demonstrates that while male entertainers are often viewed as simply "making a living," female performers are almost always considered bad, seductive women engaged in dishonorable conduct. She traces this perception to the social definition of the female body as always and only sexual and enticing--a perception that stigmatizes women entertainers even as it simultaneously offers them a means of livelihood. Drawn from extensive fieldwork and enriched with the life stories of entertainers and nightclub performers, this is the first ethnography of female singers and dancers in present-day Egypt."

Dit boek gaat over de bekering van westerse vrouwen tot de islam. De essays in het boek zijn geschreven naar aanleiding van een symposium 'gender and conversion to islam'. De auteurs komen uit verschillende disciplines: sociologie, antropologie, geschiedeniswetenschap en theologie. Er wordt nagegaan waarom westerse vrouwen zich bekeren tot de islam en wat de impact hiervan is op hun eigen leven en op hun omgeving. De auteurs hebben daarvoor gebruik gemaakt van talrijke getuigenissen en interviews met bekeerde vrouwen in de Verenigde Staten, de Scandinavische landen, Duitsland, Nederland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Zuid-Afrika.

This Special Issue draws attention to religious transformations currently emerging in the Middle East that diverge from the dominating rhetoric surrounding ‘radicalization’, ‘political Islam’, or the ‘Islamic awakening’. Particularly after the Arab uprisings, other currents seem to be coming more to the fore that need careful examination, such as the contemporary realities of religious ambivalence, religious doubts, disengagement from religious movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the search for alternative forms of spirituality or individualized piety, de-veiling, and different forms of non-conformism, free thinking, non-belief, and atheism. Accordingly, the contributions to this Special Issue provide highly relevant insights into several contemporary debates that are crucial in the social sciences and religious studies. This includes processes of individualization; the study of everyday lived (non-)religion; the anthropology of doubt, ambivalence, and ambiguity; and, last but not least, the deconstruction of the religious–secular divide, a divide that is seen as almost impenetrable according to many actors in the Middle East. This Special Issue consists of a cross-section of current works in social science, religious studies, and related fields on Islam/religion and non-religion in the Middle East. The articles present case studies from different countries in the Middle East, with examples from Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, and Syria, as well as studies on diaspora and social media.
