Afrikanska kärleksberättelser – finns de? Ama Ata Aidoo skriver i sitt förord om hur afrikanska författare förväntas skriva om militärregimer, förlegade traditioner, hungersnöd. Så har föreställningen vunnit mark att det inte skrivs om kärlek i Afrika, både i västvärlden och bland de egna intellektuella. Kärlek x 21 visar tydligt att den afrikanska kärleksnovellen lever i vår samtid. Här skriver flera av kontinentens främsta kvinnliga författare om allt mellan födslosmärtor och begravningar; tonårens våndor och ålderdomens krämpor; samkönade relationer och förhållanden som drabbas av rasfördomar. Inte minst slår samlingen hål på myten om den afrikanska kvinnan som ett fattigt offer. Genom hela antologin bultar det mänskliga hjärtat: belägrat och blödande, oförskräckt och ibland triumferande. Närma dig novellerna en i sänder, då kan du höra kvinnornas inre röster var och en för sig.

Revolutioner uppstår inte ur tomma intet. Även när alla förutsättningar finns där, så krävs det också att folket reser sig. I Nawal El Saadawis roman Revolutionsskrivarna får vi följa ett antal kvinnor, somliga fattiga, andra överklass, men med det gemensamt att de alla på olika sätt är viktiga i den kamp som leder fram till den egyptiska revolutionen. Allting börjar med att Fuada och Saadia släpps ur fängelset och vi får följa dem fram till dess att de deltar i demonstrationerna på Tahrirtorget. Vägen dit är både underhållande och sorglig, den går via äktenskap, barnafödande och protester och omges av diskussioner och tankar om demokrati, journalistik, korruption, litterärt skrivande, kreativitet och om kvinnans situation i Egypten.
Revolutionsskrivarna är som en spegling av revolten; ibland fragmentarisk, ibland våldsam men framförallt en myllrande berättelse där olika röster krockar, vinglar till och bråkar med varandra för att slutligen smälta samman.

A woman disappears without trace. Nobody, including the police commissioner investigating the case, can understand how a woman could simply walk away, leaving husband and home behind. After all, in the Kingdom of Oil where His Majesty reigns supreme, no woman has ever dared disobey the command of men. When the woman finally reappears, there is a blurring between the men in her life, as she leaves one to join another, then returns to her first husband who has since taken a new wife. She is trapped in a man-made web, unable to escape from a male figure who continually fills urns that she must carry. Surreal and satirical, Love in the Kingdom of Oil is a startling reflection on the limits of female freedom in a patriarchal society.

In Nawal El Saadawi's play "God Resigns", the prophets and great women gather for a meeting with God. Satan arrives to tender his resignation, but neither Jesus, Mohammad, nor Moses is willing to replace him. Finally, God himself resigns in disgust. Eygptian officials declared the work heretical because 'God cannot resign' and ordered her publisher to destroy all copies. El Saadawi was charged with insulting Islam and was threatened with arrest on return to Egypt. "Isis" is a critique of the discriminatory rules that control women - the daughters of Isis - in North Africa and the Middle East today. Both plays develop key themes of El Saadawi's work: that religions are inimical to women and the poor; that the oppression of women is reprehensible and not solely characteristic of the Middle East or the Third World; and that free speech is fundamental to any society. This work includes introduction by Adele Newson-Horst, along with introductions to both plays.

In 1981, the celebrated author and activist Nawal el Saadawi was imprisoned by the Sadat regime in her native Egypt, for ‘crimes against the state’. Through haunting and evocative prose, Saadawi here recounts how she and her fellow prisoners continued to resist even in captivity, and to form a community which transcended divisions between secular and religious activists. She reveals both the harrowing detail and the everyday mundanity of prison life, as well as the bravery and resolve of all women resisting oppression – and of political prisoners around the world. Memoirs from the Women’s Prison is an unforgettable, landmark work of prison writing that offers a rare insight into the indomitable, soaring literary mind of the Arab world’s leading feminist.

Writer, doctor and militant, Nawal el Saadawi has had a major influence on the lives of women and men globally. Author of many books, both fiction and non-fiction, which challenge our thinking about the politics of sex, Third World development, the Arab world and writing itself, she has been a constant thorn in the side of the class and patriarchal systems.This collection of her non-fiction writing since the publication of her seminal book on Arab women The Hidden Face of Eve (Zed Books, 1980) presents the full range of her extraordinary work. She explores a host of topics from women’s oppression at the hands of recent interpretations of Islam to the role of women in African literature, from the sexual politics of development initiatives to tourism in a ?post-colonial?age, from the nature of cultural identity to the subversive potential of creativity, from the fight against female genital mutilation to problems facing the internationalization of the women’s movement. Throughout her writing, she sheds new light on the power of women in resistance - against poverty, racism, fundamentalism, and inequality of all kinds.Showing the intellectual and political development of an important thinker for the late twentieth century, this book is essential reading for students and lecturers in women’s studies, development studies and social theory. It is also a book anyone who wants to understand current global politics - in their widest sense - can not do without.

Well beyond the Arab world, El Saadawi's fiction and non-fiction work, from Woman at Point Zero to The Fall of the Imam to her prison memoirs, have earned her a reputation as a refreshing voice of feminism in the Arab World. This series of essays form a selection of El Saadawi's most recent musings, memories and reflections, considering the role of women in Egyptian and wider Islamic society, the inextricability of imperialism from the patriarchy, the meeting point of East and West, and the image and body politic of the woman in the intersections of those cultures. These musings leave no stone unturned and no view unchallenged, and offer the interested reader new insight into El Saadawi's thoughts and reflections.

Nawal El Saadawi skriver med kraft och känsla och tvekar inte att avslöja det förakt som den arabiska kvinnan ännu ibland behandlas med. I Den stulna romanen möter vi den faderlösa Zina som överges vid födseln av sin mor, Bodour. Hon växer upp som gatubarn, trots det blir hon tack vare sin begåvning och charm en sångerska som avgudas av alla. Men när Ahmad, ledare för en extremistgrupp, blir förälskad i Zina, vänder hennes lycka. Bodour å sin sida har aldrig hämtat sig från det hon gjorde. Efter att ha upplevt sitt livs kärlekshistoria med Zinas far, som dödades i fängelset, valde hon att ställa in sig i ledet, överge sin dotter och gifta sig med en man hon inte älskade. Att skriva på en roman är Bodours enda andningshål. Dessvärre misstänker hon att hennes man har stulit hennes roman eller är det bara inbillning? Hon får allt svårare att skilja verklighet från dröm.
Med ett slagkraftigt poetiskt språk berättar Saadawi om den arabiska kvinnans kamp i ett samhälle som styrs av korrumperade religiösa maktmän.
"En omskakande och samtidigt poetisk skildring av livet i Egypten från 1950-talet till början av 1990-talet (...). Nawal El Saadawi är en stor Egyptisk författare, feminist och aktivist. Alla som är intresserade av litteratur och av demokrati och jämlikhet borde läsa henne."Mösstanten.se

Bint Allah knows herself only as the Daughter of God. Born in a stifling male-dominated state, ruled by the Imam and his coterie of ministers, she dreams of one day reaching the top of a distant hill visible through the bars of the orphanage window. But Bint Allah's ambitions do not escape the attention of the Imam, who never feels secure no matter how well he protects himself. When the Imam falsely accuses Bint Allah of adultery and sentences her to death by stoning, he is not prepared for what happens next. A postmodern fantasia, this powerful and poetic novel is a call to arms against those who use religion as a weapon against women.

I Kairos fina kvarter lever Bodour ett stympat liv. Hennes make bedrar henne, själv arbetar hon med litteraturkritik i en korrupt omgivning. Och hur kunde hon som ung överge sin nyfödda dotter Zina? Bodour är full av förakt över sitt meningslösa men privilegierade liv. Dottern Magiida är en besvikelse. Bodours enda flyktväg är romanen hon skriver på. Men pappersarken tycks försvinna ur den låsta skrivbordslådan är det hennes man som stjäl delar av romanen för att tysta henne? Zina har trots sin uppväxt somgatubarn blivit en av Egyptens klarast lysande stjärnor, en sångerska som folket avgudar. Väninnan Magiida både fascineras och avundas henne, utan att ana att de är systrar. Men Magiida är inte den enda sommissunnar Zina hennes framgång statens heliga män kan inte tolerera all uppmärksamhet som riktas mot henne, en enkel flicka som revolterar mot patriarkatet, bär sin mors namn utan att skämmas och går genom livet med högburet huvud. Den stulna romanen gavs ut medan HosniMubarak ännu var president i Egypten.Den avslöjar unkenheten och förljugenheten i en diktatur, men visar också på styrkan hos de förtryckta. Nawal El Saadawi har blivit något av en galjonsfigur för kvinnorörelsen i arabvärlden och har också suttit fängslad på grund av sitt författarskap. Tidigare utkomna på svenska: Röst ur djupet, Och tiden står stilla vid Nilen, Imamens fall, Törst och Livets källa. »El Saadawi har ibland nämnts somen Nobelpriskandidat. Jag tycker det vore ett utmärkt val, hennes texter har en mäktig episk styrka. ... Den stulna romanen förstärker Nawal El Saadawis position som en av den arabiska världens viktigaste författare.« Stefan Eklund, SvD
