She blends conventional ethnography with auto-ethnography, leading readers inside a textile factory, among the women and men workers who navigate intensely gendered labor. While there is pressure to adhere to gendered codes of behavior in the factory, some women engage in subversive gender performances. Oueslati-Porter elucidates a phenomenon that is oft-neglected in studies of women in the Middle East and North Africa: gender-queerness. Further, Oueslati-Porter explores her own perceptions of being a researcher while also being a daughter-in-law in a Tunisian family, and a mother to a toddler-aged son while conducting field work. This ethnography centralizes women's waged and unwaged labor in the understanding of women’s rights\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eGender, Textile Work, and Tunisian Women’s Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003escholars of anthropology, sociology, women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, LGBTQ+ studies,\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eand Middle East and North Africa studies.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-09-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030241032\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-24104-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 110\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47527066960012,"sku":"9783030241032","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030241032.jpg?v=1776038618","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030241032","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
