Book excerpt: This balanced exploration provides the basis for an energetic engagement with what it means to be a Muslim woman in a globalized world. The expert essays in Women and Islam are designed to stimulate discussion and help readers achieve a more sober understanding of the lives of Muslim women around the world. They explore the issues Muslim women face as they fight for gender justice and meet the challenges of living in a globalized, post-9/11 world—whether in Iran or France, Ethiopia, or the United States. Each chapter examines a different part of the globe, exploring issues arising from cultural and religious codes, as well as from internal and global politics, economics, education, and the law. Readers will glimpse the many and diverse ways in which Muslim women are actively involved in addressing the conditions embedded in their discrete environments and taking up the opportunities afforded to them, adopting strategies ranging from the political to the legal, from the theatrical to the religious.

Book Synopsis Four South African Plays by : Zakes
Download or read book Four South African Plays written by Zakes. This book was released on 1996. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four Plays is a milestone in the study of South Africa theater. It contains works by playwrights who have distinguished themselves, not only in South Africa but in the theater capitals of the world, over two decades. Three of the plays represent the new theater that is emerging in post-apartheid South Africa. The fourth play represents a theater of resistance that was common during the days of apartheid. It is however still relevant today since the subject with which it deals continues to be close to many people's hearts. The introduction by the distinguished international scholar, Prof. Zakes Mda, gives an insightful overview of theater in South Africa -- making this anthology suitable for both students and practitioners of the art.
