{"product_id":"taking-french-feminism-to-the-brittany-murray-9780252035487","title":"Taking French Feminism to the Streets: Fadela Amara and the Rise of Ni Putes Ni Soumises","description":"In 2003, Fadela Amara founded Ni Putes Ni Soumises (NPNS), a French feminist social movement that arose in the banlieues, or impoverished suburbs of Paris. Growing up in the banlieues as a child of Algerian immigrants, Amara became a fierce advocate for the underclass and was later appointed to a post in the French government headed by Nicolas Sarkozy. Led by Amara and devoted to equal rights and opportunities for everyone, NPNS is especially focused on improving conditions for Muslim immigrant women who often suffer from discrimination, violence, and repression. Providing ample context and explanation of the NPNS movement for the first time for English-language readers, editors and translators Brittany Murray and Diane Perpich include unpublished materials from the movement's formative days when women spoke out about the difficulties and violence faced daily in France's ghettos. A discussion with the movement's founder provides additional information about immigration, discrimination, feminism, the headscarf affair, and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. \u003ci\u003eTaking French Feminism to the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e provides a penetrating analysis of the social, political, and economic conditions in France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brittany Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252035488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252035487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012","brand":"Brittany Murray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946370334975,"sku":"9780252035487","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d5a868f0-2963-44a0-9794-a7cd8dadf876.jpg?v=1681512760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-french-feminism-to-the-brittany-murray-9780252035487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
