About this product
Product Information
The Nahda (lit. 'the Awakening') was one of the most significant cultural movements in modern Arab history. By focusing on the neglected role of women in the intellectual Islamic renaissance of the late Ottoman Period, Fruma Zachs and Sharon Halevi provide a refreshingly interdisciplinary exploration of gender and culture in the Arab World. Focusing mainly on Greater Syria, this book re-examines the cultural by-products of the Nahda - such as scientific debates, journal articles, essays, short stories and novels - and provides a new framework for rethinking the dynamics of cultural and social change in what today we know as Syria and Lebanon. The lasting impact of the Nahda is given an innovative and thoroughly unique interpretation, providing an indispensable perspective to studying the nuanced roles of the construction and development of gender ideologies in the nineteenth century Middle East. The authors explore contemporary ideas concerning modern gender roles in the Middle East, and the extent to which these emerged in nineteenth-century Greater Syria. How were these ideas incorporated into daily lives, consumer patterns and cultural activities? Was class a determining factor in the creation of gender relations in the Muslim world? How were the subjectivities of gender moulded and articulated in fictional and non-fictional texts? The authors delineate both the evolution of a discourse on gender as well the "real-life" activities of men and women as writers, readers and participants in philanthropic and cultural societies, literary salons and educational enterprises. This book reemphasizes the position of the Nahda in the worlds of Damascus, Aleppo and Beirut as an innovative, deeply influential, and significant socio-cultural and political movement in its own right, which played a major role in shaping modern Arab culture, worldviews and self-perception. Zachs and Halevi here provide a new framework for rethinking the dynamics of cultural and social change, and present a groundbreaking new interpretation of the cumulative impact of the Nahda on gender perception in the late Ottoman Period.

Reviews
"This book provides a much needed study of gender ideology in the late Ottoman Period. It is a valuable step towards revealing the ways that the 'Woman Question' was about gender more broadly and had great impact on a wide array of social relations, so that no major historical development, such as the Nahda, can properly be understood without due consideration of the matter of gender. A sound intellectual project which should find an audience among a number of constituencies, including those interested in Ottoman history, Arabic literature, intellectual history, gender studies in the Middle East, and in the history of gender in a global perspective." - Dr. A. Holly Shissler, Associate Professor, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago, USA "The "Arab awakening" of the late-nineteenth century the Nahda has hitherto been treated rather lightly by scholars of the modern Middle East. Recent studies have shown it to have been an important historic development of profound social and cultural implications. The new book by Zachs and Halevi sheds much new light on the manifold effects of that momentous shift. Its focus on the gender facet of the changes women's rights, marriage, sexuality, as well as masculinity and manly virtues underscores the multidimensional nature of the Nahda. It is a refreshingly innovative study in its approach and methodology, which combines historical scrutiny with literary criticism. Scholars and students of modern Arab history, cultural history in general, and gender studies should find this work at once inspiring and rewarding." Prof. Ami Ayalon, Professor of Middle Eastern History, Tel Aviv University, Israel, "[T]he material this book draws on is in and of itself rich and open to several avenues of interpretation and analysis. The authors are to be commended for weaving together lesser known authors and works with other seminal ones. The book also gives due attention to the earlier years of the nahda? , tracing debates about marriage and women's place in society back to the 1850s and earlier, and tracing the emergence of a discourse on masculinity in the region back to the 1870s." - International Journal of Middle East Studies, [T]he material this book draws on is in and of itself rich and open to several avenues of interpretation and analysis.
