• W67388616 abstract "Secularism, Gender and the State in the Middle East, by Nadje Al-Ali. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2000. Cambridge Middle East Studies, No. 14. xv + 232 pages. Bibl. to p. 252. Index to p. 264. $64.95 cloth; $22.95 paper. Reviewed by Cynthia Nelson One of the challenges confronting many Egyptian women activists is the difficulty that women's groups have organizing in greater solidarity to achieve stated goals. That is, why don't we see greater collaboration among the various secular-- oriented women's groups in Egypt who share common concerns to achieve a faster pace of change?

(p. 2). What is particularly engaging about Al-Ali's analysis is her willingness to reflect personally on the tension between researcher and activist which was never totally resolved, highlighting some of the problems that emerged throughout her fieldwork (i.e., 14 months in Cairo interviewing about 80 women) that help readers understand why collaboration among different activist groups is so difficult. The author develops her argument through the organization of the book itself. Beginning with chapter one, she demonstrates how the relevance of post-colonial and post-orientalist scholarship informed her own research and led to an analysis of constructions of the West among Egyptian women activists. Chapter two sketches the history of the Egyptian women's movement as seen through the eyes of the women that Al-Ali interviewed, paralleled by an analysis of the changing relationship between the Egyptian state and the women's movement. …" @default.
