In an age when Western feminism is constantly undergoing redefinition, this book offers to the worldwide debate sixteen authoritative contributions from the surprising setting of Muslim countries. These studies address the feminist modes of expression in relation to, or as a challenge to, Islamic laws and traditions. The book shows how women have become more actively involved not only in learning their rights under the Shari'a, but in rereading the law in order to improve their status and their fight to gain more equality and freedom. # 18028.

In June 1456 Athens surrendered to the forces of the sultan Muhammad II. Turkish Athens describes how the city- following its incorporation into the fabric of the Ottoman Empire -Sank gradually over the next four centuries into a state of isolation and obscurity, and follows the fortunes of the citizens of what had become an obscure Turkish garrison town, frequently ruled by vicious and corrupt officials. As political conditions began to alter during the 18th century, Greek fortunes began to revive and the outside world rediscovered the city. Foreign travellers-Poets and lords among them-began to arrive in ever-increasing numbers, and the unfortunate citizens now suffered from the depredations of the Souvenir hunters who pillaged many of the city's classical treasures. At last, the Turkish garrison on the Acropolis surrendered and in 1833. the city of Athens was restored to Greek hands. #21403.

["This book appears at a time when the United Kingdom is heavily involved in the first war of the twenty-first century, a war of the most direct concern to all Arabs and Muslims." "Presently, no country on earth can match the United Kingdom for the concentration of Arab-world expertise and for opportunities to study the Arabs and the Arabic language. How did this come about?" "This study looks at the remarkable story of British Arabists from 1900 to the new millennium. Lawrence of Arabia is examined and so is Abdullah Philby (the father of the spy Kim), and the lady who knew them both well, Getrude Bell.Women Arabists appear at many stages of the story as do an extraordinary range of characters, from diplomats and archaeologists to journalists and explorers." "After examining the roles of British Arabists throughout the century, the author provides much food for thought by showing how closely involved Arabs and Muslims have become in British life in the third millineum" - publisher's description].
