<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This lucid and accessible collection explores gender and national identity within political movements in the Middle East, the Maghreb and South Asia. It reveals how nationalism, revolution and Islamization are gendered processes, and argues that in periods of political change, women are central to efforts to construct a national identity. The book focuses on predominantly Muslim movements, and includes Algerian women's experience in the national liberation movement; the struggle to construct a Bengali national identity and the creation of Bangladesh; events leading to revolution and Islamization in Iran; revolution and civil war in Afghanistan; and the Palestinian intifada.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Nationalism, national liberation and national identity cannot be fully understood without reference to gender. This book casts new light on the relationship between revolutionary movements in Muslim societies, and issues of gender and women's status. I recommend it for those interested in women and Islam, women and development, and gender and political change." --<i>Kumari Jayawardena, author of Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World</i> <p/>"The authors enable us to see old problematics in a new light. Their analyses disturb common stereotypes and stimulate new questions. Important and timely." --<i>V.
