In this collection, Arab and Arab American feminists enlist their intimate experiences to challenge simplistic and long-held assumptions about gender, sexuality, and commitments to feminism and justice-centered struggles. Contributors hail from multiple geographical sites, spiritualities, occupations, sexualities, class backgrounds, and generations. Poets, creative writers, artists, scholars, and activists employ a mix of genres to express feminist commitments and ambiguities and to highlight how Arab and Arab American feminist perspectives simultaneously inhabit multiple, overlapping, and intersecting spaces: within families and communities; in anticolonial and antiracist struggles; in debates over spirituality and the divine; within radical, feminist, and queer spaces; in academia and on the street. Contributors explore themes as diverse as the intersections between gender, sexuality, Orientalism, racism, Islamophobia, and Zionism, and the place of Arab Jews in Arab and Arab American histories. This book asks how members of diasporic communities navigate their sense of belonging when the countries in which they live wage wars in the lands of their ancestors. This work opens up new possibilities for placing grounded perspectives at the center of gender, Middle East, American, and ethnic studies.

Why are Muslim and Arab women less likely to be part of the modern labor force? A popular answer claims that it is the unique cultural and religious heritage of these women that leads them to choose or to follow options other than participating in the labor force. In many Muslim countries legislation is explicitly based on the Shari'a (Islamic law), and "family laws and practices treat women as inferior to men" (Hajjar 2004). Many Muslim countries also deliberately avoid labor laws that ban gender discrimination, do not provide maternity leaves, do not legislate affordable child care, and formally resist the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW; Sonbol 2010; cf. Afkhami and Friedl 1997; Anwar 2009; Sadiqi and Annaji 2011).

A partir d'une étude sur la construction identitaire chez les femmes d'origine et de culture arabo-musulmane en France, l'auteur entreprend d'explorer la tension psychique relative au contexte interculturel. Il se fonde sur des études de cas pour montrer comment ces femmes sont tiraillées entre deux systèmes normatifs et référentiels opposés.
