Iranian Women Studies, October 11, 2010
This review is from: Rethinking Global Sisterhood: Western Feminism and Iran (Paperback)
This book was really inspiring for me. I have a Bachelor and a Master's degree in English Language and Literature from Tehran Unviersity, and I am very interested in minority studies especially at the corss roads where feminism meets the colonial discourse. I was surprised by the dearth of scholarship in this area and Dr. Nima Naghibi's book was an eye opener for me. Not only it was an enlightening experience to read about the origin's Western Feminists' orientation toward Iran, but also it inspired me to write a great PhD proposal. I especially enjoyed reading about the discourse of the imperialist/colonizer when describing the Iranian/Muslim/Middle Easter people in general and women specifically.
