[CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v62), quality = 75]Freedom without Permission Bodies and Space in the Arab Revolutions Edited by Frances S. Hasso & Zakia Salime "Even though on the surface revolutions proceed as total events represented by overarching 'people,' they are marked by fragments and fractures. Focusing on gender and place, this book challenges such an all-embracing image by uncovering the plurality of voices, interests, actions, and expectations that constitute the totality we call 'revolution.' As such it is a valuable contribution to the study of the Arab revolutions beyond the states, regimes, and formal institutions."-Asef Bayat, Catherine and Bruce Bastian Professor of Global and Transnational Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign "Filling a lacuna in the scholarship on gender and the Arab Spring, these essays approach their topics from especially sophisticated, innovative, and engaging angles, putting forward new theories and methods for thinking about the intersections of politics, gender, revolution, and feminism. Given the major significance of women to the Arab Spring revolutions, this outstanding book is more urgent than ever."- Nadine Naber, author of Arab America: Gender, Cultural Politics, and Activism As the 2011 uprisings in North Africa reverberated across the Middle East, a diverse cross section of women and girls publicly disputed gender and sexual norms in novel, unauthorized, and often shocking ways. In a series of case studies ranging from Tunisia's 14 January Revolution to the Taksim Gezi Park protests in Istanbul, the contributors to Freedom without Permission reveal the centrality of the intersections between body, gender, sexuality, and space to these groundbreaking events. Essays include discussions of the blogs written by young women in Egypt, the Women2Drive campaign in Saudi Arabia, the reintegration of women into the public sphere in Yemen, the sexualization of female protesters encamped at Bahrain's Pearl Roundabout, and the embodied, performative, and artistic spaces of Morocco's 20 February Movement. Conceiving of revolution as affective, embodied, spatialized, and aesthetic forms of upheaval and transgression, the contributors show how women activists imagined, inhabited, and deployed new spatial arrangements that undermined the public-private divisions of spaces, bodies, and social relations, continuously transforming them through symbolic and embodied transgressions.
