Show moreThis provides a commentary on images, specifically on a series of French postcards depicting mainly eroticized "scenes from Algerian life" under colonial rule during the first three decades of this century (which Alloula calls the "Golden Age of the colonial postcard"). The aim is to address, to some extent create, a new audience, one capable of seeing through the immediate scene of the images in order to view the machinery of colonialism at work, behind the scene. Edward Said has cited The Colonial Harem as an "excellent example" of the kind of post-colonial text that "open[s] the [Western] culture to experiences of the Other which have remained 'outside' (and have been repressed or framed in a context of confrontational hostility) the norms manufactured by 'insiders' and that "[t]he pictorial capture of colonized people by colonizer" is made intelligible for an audience of modem European readers" ("Opponents, Audiences, Constituencies and Community"). This view, by no means unanimous,) is nonetheless roughly accurate in at least its most general point: Alloula does intend to bring the "outside" closer to the "inside" and, in doing so, to reverse the distinction by presenting not only a critique of political "capture," but a counter-image of resistance as well. The orient as stereotype and phantasm -- Women from the outside: obstacle and transparency -- Women's prisons -- Women's quarters -- Couples -- The figures of the harem: dress and jewelry -- Inside the harem: The rituals -- Song and dance: Almehs and bayaderes -- Oriental Sapphism -- The colonial harem: images of a suberoticism. Malek Alloula ; translation by Myrna Godzich and Wlad Godzich ; introduction by Barbara Harlow. Translation of: Le harem colonial.

Show moreAn Arab Muslim woman born in Beirut in 1918 weaves together reflections on her personal struggle for independence with an account of her extended family's dislocation in the violent political upheavals of the Middle East. As Lisa Majaj points out in her insightful introduction, this is no simplistic account of an Islamic woman rescued by the West. Nadia's family is both oppressive and supportive. Forced into an arranged marriage as a young teenager, she feels little for her husband but loves her in-laws more than her own selfish parents. Later, she is torn between passionate love for another man and loyalty to her children, and she struggles for education and a career. Most moving is the account of how her privileged family is suddenly uprooted by the Jewish takeover of their home in Haifa. Fay Afaf Kanafani ; introduction by Lisa Suhair Majaj. "An East gate book."
