Product Description
Product Description
The essays presented here, based on extensive ethnographic research, focus on the Egyptian household as the key institution for understanding the dynamics of political, economic, and social change. Economic liberalization has had particular, often ambivalent consequences for low-income groups, especially women, and for gender relations. This collection exposes the complexity of social issues in Cairo, and explains why household economics have become increasingly politicized for the Egyptian population. Contributors are Nawal Mahmoud Hassan, Homa Hoodfar, K. R. Kamphoefner, Nadia Khouri-Dagher, Arlene Elowe MacLeod, and Diane Singerman.
