Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Discover the acclaimed non-fiction of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Geraldine Brooks.'Frank, enraging and captivating.' The New Yorker Australian writer Geraldine Brooks is now known internationally for her bestselling novels, but as a foreign correspondent Geraldine spent six years covering the Middle East. And when her poised and sophisticated assistant at the Cairo bureau of the Wall Street Journal suddenly 'adopted the uniform of a Muslim fundamentalist', Geraldine Brooks set out to discover the truth about women and Islam. Sometimes adopting a chador as camouflage, she was granted meetings (and often astonishingly intimate insights) by everyone from Queen Noor of Jordan to former Iranian President Rafsanjani's daughter. She met with Palestinians protesting about 'honour killings' for adultery and sheltered girls transformed into warriors by the Emirates' armed forces. Throughout the Middle East, Brooks was invited into the homes and lives of these women where she found real stories that overturn western stereotypes. This beautiful new edition includes a powerful new Afterword by the author. The New Yorker Australian writer, the author is now known internationally for her bestselling novels. And when her poised and sophisticated assistant at the Cairo bureau of the "Wall Street Journal" suddenly 'adopted the uniform of a Muslim fundamentalist', she set out to discover the truth about women and Islam.

Reprint. Octavo; hardcover, quarter-bound in papered boards with endpaper maps; 255pp. Mild wear; lightly spotted page edges. Lightly scuffed dustwrapper with light edgewear and creasing to the rear flap; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Commonly non-Muslims writing on Islam either attack Islam and denigrate its followers, or become apologists over repressive aspects of some Muslim communities. Geraldine Brooks' Nine Parts of Desire, The Hidden World of Islamic Women at times does both of these things. But it is in the book's critical yet respectful look at Islam that the reader finds subjects for serious discussion and a measure of understanding in the depiction of Islam. "It becomes insufficient to look at Islam on paper, or Islam in history, and dwell on the unarguable improvements it brought to women's lives in the seventh century," Brooks writes. "Today, the much more urgent and relevant task is to examine the way the faith has proved such fertile ground for almost every anti-woman custom it encountered in its great march out of Arabia." She maintains that Islam adopted the royal Persian custom of veils, accepted gender mutilation from Egypt, "and when it found societies in which women had never had a voice in public affairs, its own traditions of lively women's participation withered." The book is not overburdened with Western judgements far removed from its subject matter, but is rather an empathetic attempt to understand the culture behind the veils.
