Women’s Time and Alternate Memory
This book includes eighteen articles by researchers belonging to different disciplines of the humanities. Though the articles reflect a variety of methodologies and viewpoints, they share an alternative position vis-à vis dominant discourses. Most of the researchers simultaneously revive and deconstruct the content of the historical text, with the aim of purging it of its biases and filling its silent spaces. They dig for the experiences, status, and circumstances of Arab women across different centuries. The book also includes a number of articles that challenge the narrative form of the historical text.
