Cette enquête s'appuie exclusivement sur les témoignages de femmes issues de tous les milieux sociaux. Au fil des rencontres, de pays en pays, Geraldine Brooks met au jour l'incroyable intrication des forces politiques, religieuses et culturelles qui régissent l'existence de ces femmes. Le mariage, l'enseignement, la famille, le respect des traditions sont autant de thèmes sensibles abordés avec objectivité. Mais ce livre montre surtout comment, en interprétant abusivement les textes du Coran, les intégristes sont parvenus à exercer leur contrôle sur la vie des femmes. Réflexion stimulante sur le problème de la condition féminine au Moyen-Orient, ce livre est aussi un formidable appel à la tolérance.

Work Description

With a New Afterword. As a prizewinning foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, Geraldine Brooks spent six years covering the Middle East through wars, insurrections, and the volcanic upheaval of resurgent fundamentalism. Yet for her, headline events were only the backdrop to a less obvious but more enduring drama: the daily life of Muslim women. Nine Parts of Desire is the story of Brooks' intrepid journey toward an understanding of the women behind the veils, and of the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape their lives. Defying our stereotypes about the Muslim world, Brooks' acute analysis of the world's fastest growing religion deftly illustrates how Islam's holiest texts have been misused to justify repression of women, and how male pride and power have warped the original message of a once liberating faith. From the Trade Paperback edition.
