Very Good in Dustjacket. 0743412427. 228 pages. hardcover. keywords: Islam Women History Autobiography Feminism. DESCRIPTION - Bursting with the vitality of M…ernissi's personality and of her rich heritage, Scheherazade Goes West reveals the author's unique experiences as a liberated, independent Moroccan woman faced with the peculiarities and unexpected encroachments of Western culture. Her often surprising discoveries about the conditions of and attitudes toward women around the world-and the exquisitely embroidered amalgam of clear-eyed autobiography and dazzling meta-fiction by which she relates those assorted discoveries-add up to a deliciously wry, engagingly cosmopolitan, and deeply penetrating narrative. In her previous bestselling works, Mernissi-widely recognized as the world's greatest living Koranic scholar and Islamic sociologist-has shed unprecedented light on the lives of women in the Middle East. Now, as a writer and scholarly veteran of the high-wire act of straddling disparate societies, she trains her eyes on the female culture of the West. For her book's inspired central metaphor, Mernissi turns to the ancient Islamic tradition of oral storytelling, illuminating her grandmother's feminized, subersive, and highly erotic take on Scheherazade's wife-preserving tales from The Arabian Nights-and then ingeniously applying them to her own lyrically embellished personal narrative. Interwoven with vivid ruminations on her childhood, her education, and her various international travels are the author's piquant musings on a range of deeply embedded societal conditions that add up, Mernissi aruges, to a veritable 'Western harem.' A provocative and lively challenge to the common assumption that women have it so much better in the West than anywhere else in the world, Mernissi's book is an entrancing and timely look at the way we live here and now. inventory #29714.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First English Edition. B&W Maps; 6 X 9 1/4"; 502 pages; Hard cover is blue with silver lettering on the spine. DJ. NEW. Pages are clean and tight. B/w maps at front of book. Originally published in Greek. 'At the heart of the Ottoman Empire, in the ancient city of Smyrna, a…devastating moment determines the fates of four families. On an orange-tinted evening in September 1905, Scheherazade is born to an opium-dazed mother in the ancient city of Smyrna. At the very same moment, a dashing Indian spy arrives in the harbour with a secret mission from the British Empire. He sails in to golden-hued spires and minarets, scents of fig and sycamore, and the cries of street hawkers selling their wares. When he leaves, seventeen years later, it will be to the heavy smell of kerosene and smoke as the city, and its people, are engulfed in flames. But let us not rush, for much will happen between then and now. Birth, death, romance and grief are all to come as these peaceful, cosmopolitan streets are used as bargaining chips in the wake of the First World War. ' Glossary.
