books by Fatima Mernissi     books:       Beyond the Veil: Male-Female Dynamics in a Modern Muslim Society11 reviews Fatima Mernissi Indiana University Press, 1987 First book by a Muslim feminine writer When this book originally appeared, I did write a review and got in published in print media. In her work, I was happy to have been introduced for the first time from a pen of (western, muslim, voracious) female writer as to how this gender looked at Islam. I am glad that Fatima continues to provide interesting insights, and she is striving to keep people informed on the subject.             Islam and Democracy: Fear of the Modern World5 reviews Fatema Mernissi Basic Books, 2002 Can Islam and Democracy be Compatible? In her book, Islam and Democracy, Fatima Mernissi, a Moroccan author, draws back on her personal experiences, not only as a Moslem but also as a woman, to explain why democracy has not caught on in the Arab countries and what are the prospects for the future. Throughout the major part of her book, she demonstrates how the Islamic community is chained up by a set of fears that it would have to ...             The Veil And The Male Elite: A Feminist Interpretation Of Women's Rights In Islam19 reviews Fatema Mernissi Basic Books, 1992 The best book on Islam I've ever read. I have to reiterate: the reveiwers which condemn this book because they don't agree with it are crazy. If you buy one book on Islam, let this be it. That said, Fatima Mernissa, a Muslim herself, has certainly left no stone unturned with her analyses of the Hadith's. This woman has done her reasearch. From explaining why it's not "un-Islamic" to check on the veritablness of a Hadith, to picking ...             Women and Islam: An Historical and Theological Enquiry1 review Fatima Mernissi Blackwell Pub, 1991 Same book as "The Veil and the Male Elite" by Mernissi This is the Indian publication of Mernissi's "The Veil and the Male Elite," which is an excellent book. It isn't for those unfamiliar with Islam, however. It does set forth some very satisfying and well-supported views on the role of women in Islam, which -- contrary to popular belief -- has never meant to be subservient or oppressed. This is a thoughtful and passionate discussion of women's ...             Dreams Of Trespass: Tales Of A Harem Girlhood43 reviews Fatima Mernissi Basic Books, 1995 Innocent Courage I found this book to be entertaining, educational, inspirational and thought provoking all at once. I personally and Americans in general are largely confused and misinformed about the concept of the harem and how the women in them lived; and it is no wonder or surprise that we are! It seems that even within the high walls and locked gates of the harem the residents cannot agree on the subject! ...             Rêves de femmes : une enfance au harem Fatima Mernissi, Ruth Ward, ... LGF, 1998             The Forgotten Queens of Islam2 reviews Fatima Mernissi University of Minnesota Press, 1997 Mernissi and her feminism Mernissi is possessed by the insecurity of her traumatic childhood. The very title of the book "Forgotten Queens of Islam" completely discounts the reality that women even in today's Islamic societies weild political power and involvement unparalleled by women in any other society including the West. The reality remains that these "Queens" of Islam were never forgotten [Raziya sultan is still ...             Harem Within Tales of a Moroccan Girlhood1 review Fatima Mernissi Bantam Doubleday Dell, 1995 Like being there... This book gives a powerful look at the Fez, Morocco of days gone by and the changes that swept through a very cloistered society at the end of the French protectorate. It's a fascinating read and I highly recommend it.             Scheherazade Goes West13 reviews Fatima Mernissi Washington Square Press, 2001 Excellent book! A must read!! Fatema Mernissi's "Scheherezade Goes West" is an incredible book. I could not put it down once I began reading it. I highly recommend it......I keep talking about it to everyone I know. I think that her observations have quite a bit of truth behind them, even with regards to her ideas of the Western world. A few critics of the book mentioned how if Fatema had truly observed women in the U.S. ...             Dreams of Trespass Tales of a Harem Girlhood1 review Fatima Mernissi Addison-Wesley, 1994 excellent book about harems and women in Morocco In 1940, harems still abounded in Fez, Morocco. They weren't the opulent, bejeweled harems of Scherezade, but the domestic sprawl of extended families encamped around a walled courtyard that marked the edges of women's lives. Though born into this tightly sheltered world, Fatimi Mernissi is constantly urged by her rebellious mother to spring beyond it. Worried that Mernissi is too shy and quiet, ...             Le harem et l'Occident Fatima Mernissi A.
