The terms of the debate: Untangling language about ethnicity and ethnic movements

Pages 497-522 | Published online: 13 Sep 2010

Notes

  • Ahmed , Leila . 1982 . ‘Western Ethnocentrism and Perceptions of the Harem’ . Feminist Studies , VIII ( 3 ) : 521 – 24 . An extensive literature exists on Arab and Mediterranean concepts of honour and shame; a typical example is the edited volume by Peristiany (1966), whose authors focused on southern Europe. East‐West tensions around Arab concepts of honour have rendered most Western writings on Arab concepts highly judgemental and useful only to the cautious and experienced reader. For a brief and biting critique of such approaches, see
  • Mernissi , Fatima . 1987 . Beyond the Veil; Male‐Female Dynamics in Modern Muslim Society , Bloomington : Indiana University Press . A more helpful and sensitive approach to ideas about the role of honour in Arab society might be found in some of the more sophisticated writing on women in Arab societies: for example
  • Rugh , Andrea . “ ‘Women and Work: Strategies and Choices in a Lower‐Class Quarter of Cairo’ ” . In Women and the Family in the Middle East Edited by: Fernea , Elizabeth . for a study of honour and its effects on women's public roles, see, for example
  • Sayigh , Rosemary . 1981 . ‘Roles and Functions of Arab Women’ . Arab Studies Quarterly , III ( 3 )
