Quote: SUDANESE WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES: THE DOUBLE PROBLEM OF GENDER AND CULTURE by Asma M. Abdel Halim AN INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHER OF ADVANCED RESEARCH 0-7734-5675-9 $109.95 / £69.95 228pp. 2006 ISBN 13: 978-0-7734-5675-4 This is a qualitative study of the experiences of circumcised Sudanese women in the United States. It looks into how immigration has affected the cultural perceptions of women, in particular their views about female circumcision (FC). Questions and conversations with the women in this study are focused on what has changed in their lives that resulted in a change of attitude or behavior. Three focus groups of women of different age groups participated in the research. One woman of each group was interviewed in depth. Open-ended questions and semi- structured interviews were conducted. “I have had the privilege of engaging in wanasa [‘talking’ or ‘chatting’] for many years with the Sudanese and it is most rare that the conversation should turn to such an open discussion of this ubiquitous Sudan cultural practice of female circumcision or genital cutting. The controversy over what to call this practice is dealt with decisively in this book, characteristic of the courage so often demonstrated by its scholaractivist author, Dr. Asma Abdel Halim. In this book, she is standing at the congested intersection of globalization and global migration, women’s health and empowerment, and a rising consciousness of Muslim identity, particularly among women. The publication of this book contributes in a useful way to understanding the complicated gender dynamics of Sudan, a country which has attracted far more than its share of negative news in recent years. And it vastly increases our knowledge of Muslim immigrant women in the United States and the specificity of their experience …” – Professor W. Stephen Howard, Ohio University “At last, here is a book that gives us the authentic voices of women who have had an experience they regarded as a normal part of womanhood until coming to the United States and encountering evidence of its harm to their health. What Dr. Abdel Halim shows brilliantly in the frankly-told stories of the Sudanese women she has recorded is that traditional practices lose their social benefits when separated from the social fabric to which they adhere and from which they gain strength … Students and teachers of women and gender studies, of immigration, of African studies, of women and Islam, and of research methods will all find new and critical material for their coursework …” – Professor Meredith Turshen, Rutgers University “ … The stories in this book are both uniquely insightful and yet profoundly similar to other infibulated African women here. They feel isolated, distrust Western medicine, fear labor, and feel compelled to explain or even defend FC. Dr. Abdel Halim draws on her experience as a Sudanese, an activist, a social scientist and an immigrant facing similar dilemmas. The clarity of expression and depth of analysis pulls the reader into these Sudanese women’s lives … This book challenges readers to see Sudanese women for who they are rather than as mere symbols of a ‘barbaric’ tradition …” – Nawal M. Nour, MD, Director, African Women’s Health Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School) Table of Contents: Glossary Acknowledgements Foreword by W. Stephen Howard Introduction 1.

رمضان كريم اضافة ضرورية حيث ان الكاتبة ناشطة واكاديمية سودانية فمعظم الكتب التي هيئ لي ان اقرؤها عموما عن المراة السودانية من كاتبات غير سودانيات عشن لفترة في السودان واهتمن بقضية المراةالسودانية ( مثال صديقتنا سوندرا هيل ) واهم ما يبدولي ان يكون في هذا الكتاب -والله اعلم حتي اقرا الكتاب- الغوص في شان المراة السودانية من خلال شريحة مثلت كل السودان في المهجر باختلاف مناطقها واثنياتها السودانية .. وفي انتظار ان ياتي به البريد ليتم مناقشته هنا او في غير منتديات فالامر يستوجب ذلك كونه رائدا لما يكتب في هذا الشان ...
