Description: Arab and Arab American feminists enlist their intimate experiences to challenge simplistic and long-held assumptions about gender, sexuality, and commitments to feminism and justice-centered struggles among Arab communities.
Review Quotes: While several chapters feel crucial to current discussions of transnational feminist solidarity--Mohja Kahf's 'Pity Committee and the Careful Reader' and an interview with Ella Shohat--the book's approach and value is perhaps most visible in one of its more striking essays, Amal Amireh's 'Palestinian Women's Disappearing Act: The Suicide Bomber Through Western Feminist Eyes.'-- "Women's Studies Quarterly"
