Description: Women's Activism in the Islamic Republic of Iran: Political Alliance and the Formation of Deliberative Civil Society by Ghoreishi, Samira, ISBN 3030702340, ISBN-13 9783030702342, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Through an intersectional feminist re-reading of the Habermasian theoretical framework, this book analyses how womens activism has developed and operated in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Chapters look at three key areas of womens activism in Iran: how women deliberately engaged with media activism despite the governments controlling and repressive policies; womens involvement in civil society organisations, institutions and communities, and cooperation through multilevel activism; and womens activism in the political sphere and its connection with media and civil society activism despite the theocratic system. Drawing upon interviews, analyses of journal and newspaper articles and documentary/non-documentary films, as well as personal experiences, observations and communications, th examines to what extent Iranian womens rights groups and activists have collaborated not only with each other but with other social groups and activists to help facilitate the formation of a pluralist civil society capable of engaging in deliberative processes of democratic reform.
This book will be of interest to scholars in Gender Studies and Middle Eastern Studies, particularly those who study womens and other social movements in Iran.
