Описание:
Drawing on extensive research in the archives of Russia and Uzbekistan, Douglas Northrop here reconstructs the turbulent history of a Soviet campaign that sought to end the seclusion of Muslim women. In Uzbekistan it focused above all on a massive effort to eliminate the heavy horsehair-and-cotton veils worn by many women and girls. This campaign against the veil was, in Northrop's view, emblematic of the larger Soviet attempt to bring the proletarian revolution to Muslim Central Asia, a region Bolsheviks saw as primitive and backward. The Soviets focused on women and the family in an effort to forge a new, "liberated" social order.
This unveiling campaign, however, took place in the context of a half-century of Russian colonization and the long-standing suspicion of rural Muslim peasants toward an urban, colonial state. Widespread resistance to the idea of unveiling quickly appeared and developed into a broader anti-Soviet animosity among Uzbeks of both sexes. Over the next quarter-century a bitter and often violent confrontation ensued, with battles being waged over indigenous practices of veiling and seclusion.
New local and national identities coalesced around these very practices that had been placed under attack. Veils became powerful anticolonial symbols for the Uzbek nation as well as important markers of Muslim propriety. Bolshevik leaders, who had seen this campaign as an excellent way to enlist allies while proving their own European credentials as enlightened reformers, thus inadvertently strengthened the seclusion of Uzbek women—precisely the reverse of what they set out to do. Northrop's fascinating and evocative book shows both the fluidity of Central Asian cultural practices and the real limits that existed on Stalinist authority, even during the ostensibly totalitarian 1930s.

Описание:
Veiled Summer is a poignant story set in the Ireland of the 1930', 40's and 50's and spanning seven decades.
In the summer of 1943, Annie Luhan, a 17-year-old na ve country girl, having finished her exams at the Convent Secondary School, finds work at Fernmount House. To Annie, Fernmount represents a world that she has only ever dreamed of. From her first encounter with charming Edward Ashby, it appears even more wonderful. But her grand vision is soon to be shattered when she becomes the victim of an all-consuming, dark passion that resides within its walls. Powerless against rank, privilege and the prevailing social climate, Annie is blamed for events for which she is entirely innocent. She is made to pay a devastating price while the perpetrator goes unpunished.
Veiled Summer is told through the eyes of Annie's son, Se nie, a successful London Art Dealer, whose personal life is in tatters. Following an unexpected invitation, he returns to Ireland in the summer of 2001, seeking answers to the questions that hang over his birth and to bring an end to his struggle with his own identity. His search uncovers murky secrets, a destructive chain of events and the betrayal of love.
What did happen in 1943 had heartbreaking consequences for Annie and for all who were touched by that Veiled Summer.

Описание: During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the author lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations, morality, and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. In this book, the poems are haunting, and the evocation of emotional life vivid.
