Six candid interviews introduce readers to a class of professional Muslim women that is rarely, if ever, acknowledged in the West. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese women tell of conflicts and compromises with family, kin, and community, while facing violence, archaic marriage rules, and locally entrenched codes of conduct. With brave eloquence they speak of human dignity and gender equality, of economic deprivation and social justice, and of feminism and fundamentalism. Challenging stereotypes, No Shame for the Sun reveals the uniqueness of each person and diversity in the life experience of Pakistani Muslim women, including their world views and the struggles to change their society. Through their struggles, professional Pakistani women have become conscious of their own and other women's situations in their country. Because they exercise power and authority in their chosen fields, they risk losing their families' support and antagonizing their communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCarefully detailed and meticulously researched, this book offers a much-needed perspective on the changing circumstances of Pakistani women along with a view of established patterns and structural constraints within Pakistan. On a broader level, it examines Western misconceptions regarding Islam, a religion that crosses many borders and cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shahla Haeri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815629796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815629795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/14\/2002 pg. 75","brand":"Shahla Haeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120330141951,"sku":"9780815629795","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99ffb991-c420-419d-8840-85505d1bb210.jpg?v=1687413751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-shame-for-the-sun-shahla-haeri-9780815629795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
