• Sexuality in Muslim Contexts: Restrictions and Resistance
  30 August 2015, by siawi3

  The premise of this book is that all major religious traditions, as understood and practiced in today’s world, are diverse cultural resources which can promote either emancipatory or conservative standpoints. Moreover, Islam is far from being the only parameter impacting the politics of sexuality and gender empowerment even in societies in which pervasive claims posit Islam as the main marker of identity. At a time when feminists, anti-racists and other emancipatory and human rights advocates are intimidated by dichotomous ‘choices’ of being accused of ‘Islamophobia’ or supporting equal rights and autonomy to all people, Sexuality in Muslim Contexts offers crucially important insights and political guidance.

• NO NUKES: Prohibido Olvidar! / Never Forget!
  11 August 2015

  August 6 was the 70^th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, 1945, a plutonium bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The dropping of these bombs—against a Japan that was about to surrender—was not an accident or aberration. It was a calculated and logical endpoint to a worldview that persists even now.

  13 June 2015, by siawi

• La situation des femmes algériennes des années 80
  10 June 2015, by siawi3

  Inceste par le frère, mariages forcés, viols légalisés, fugues pour sortir de l’enfer, tout est présenté dans ce recueil de nouvelles tant en France qu’en Algérie.
  Ce sont des fictions, mais elles relatent mieux la réalité que nombre d’ ouvrages de sociologues français. Comme la lecture de Balzac éclaire mieux sur la réalité de la bourgeoisie française au XIXe siècle que nombre d’articles d’historiens.
