  • Woman's Body, Woman's Word

    Fedwa Malti-Douglas, Fedwa Malti‐DouglasBOOKWoman's Body, Woman's Word2019

    Woman's voice and body are closely entwined in the Arabo-Islamic tradition, argues Fedwa Malti-Douglas in this pioneering book. Spanning the ninth through twentieth centuries and covering a wide range of texts—from courtly anectdote to mystical and philosophical treatises, from works of geography to autobiography—this study reveals how woman's access to literary speech has remained mediated through her body.Malti-Douglas first analyzes classical …

  • Gay Men Choosing Parenthood

    Gerald P Mallon, Fedwa Malti-DouglasBOOKThe Starr report disrobed2004

    Gay parenting is a topic on which almost everyone has an opinion but almost nobody has any facts. Here at last is a book based on a thorough review of the literature, as well as interviews with a pioneering group of men who in the 1980s chose to become fathers outside the boundaries of a heterosexual union—through foster care, adoption, and other kinship relationships. This book reveals how very natural and possible gay parenthood can be. What fa…

  • Gender and Uses of the Ascetic in an Islamist Text

    Fedwa Malti-Douglas, Fedwa Malti‐DouglasCHAPTERAsceticism2002

    To say gender and Islam is to evoke a multiplicity of images, not the least of which is that of the patriarchal figure of Khomeini, coupled with wave patterns of veiled women. To add the ascetic dimension to this explosive combination might seem out of place. But as some of the writings of the contemporary religious revival show, nothing is strange in this universe in which the contemporary sits alongside the medieval.

  • Medicines of the SoulFemale Bodies and Sacred Geographies in a Transnational Islam

    Fedwa Malti-Douglas, Fedwa Malti‐DouglasBOOKMedicines of the Soul2001

    In Medicines of the Soul, the autobiographical writings of three leading women in today's Islamic revival movement reveal dramatic stories of religious transformation. As interpreted by Fedwa Malti-Douglas, the autobiographies provide a powerful, groundbreaking portrayal of gender, religion, and discourses of the body in Arabo-Islamic culture. At the center of each story is a lively female Islamic spirituality that questions secular hierarchies w…

  • Men, Women and God(s)

    Persis M Karim, Fedwa Malti-Douglas et al.ARTICLEMiddle East Report1997

    This is a study of the Arab world's leading femininst and most controversial woman writer, Nawal El Saadawi. Her outspoken feminism and critique of patriarchy have won her much admiration, but also many enemies. Imprisoned in Egypt under Sadat, El Saadawi is now among those on the death lists of Islamic religious conservatives. The book contends that El Saadawi's work cannot be read in isolation from its Islamic and Arabic heritage. Drawing upon …

  • The Classical Arabic Detective

    Fedwa Malti-Douglas, Fedwa Malti‐DouglasARTICLEArabica1988

    ETECTIVE fiction, which has long entertained readers, has also spawned a rapidly growing critical literature of its own. The questions addressed include the paternity of the detective genre, the nature of the characters exploited in detective fiction, and the implications of that literature, social or otherwise. This study will address itself to the detective figure in medieval Arabic literature, specifically as he appears in that branch of prose…
