The complicated link between women and religion in the Middle East has been a source of debate for centuries, and has special resonance today. Whether religion reinforces female oppression or provides opportunities for women - or a combination of both - depends on time, place and circumstance. This book seeks to contextualize women's roles within their religious traditions rather than through the lens of a dominant culture. Gender, Religion and Change in the Middle East crosses boundaries and borders, and will appeal to a global audience.This book provides a comprehensive survey of women in Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities in the Middle East during the last two centuries. The authors consider women's defined roles within these religious communities, as well as exploring how women themselves develop and apply their own strategies within religious societies. The wide-ranging accounts draw on case studies from Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine and Lebanon since 1800. Throughout, the authors challenge our understanding of patriarchy to offer a more nuanced account.Taking a balanced look at the issues of religion, gender and change in the Middle East, this unique interdisciplinary study gives new insight to the theme of women and religion in the Middle East.

From the early phases of modern missions, Christian missionaries supported many humanitarian activities, mostly framed as subservient to the preaching of Christianity. This anthology contributes to a historically grounded understanding of the complex relationship between Christian missions and the roots of humanitarianism and its contemporary uses in a Middle Eastern context. Contributions focus on ideologies, rhetoric, and practices of missionaries and their apostolates towards humanitarianism, from the mid-19th century Middle East crises, examining different missionaries, their society’s worldview and their networks in various areas of the Middle East. In the early 20th century Christian missions increasingly paid more attention to organisation and bureaucratisation (‘rationalisation’), and media became more important to their work. The volume analyses how non-missionaries took over, to a certain extent, the aims and organisations of the missionaries as to humanitarianism. It seeks to discover and retrace such ‘entangled histories’ for the first time in an integral perspective. Contributors include: Beth Baron, Philippe Bourmaud, Seija Jalagin, Nazan Maksudyan, Michael Marten, Heleen (L.) Murre-van den Berg, Inger Marie Okkenhaug, Idir Ouahes, Maria Chiara Rioli, Karène Sanchez Summerer, Bertrand Taithe, and Chantal Verdeil

I början av 1900-talet åkte hundratals skandinaviska kvinnor ut i världen för att som missionärer sprida det kristna budskapet samt verka inom sjukvård och undervisning. Ofta handlade det om en livslång gärning under svåra förhållanden. I den här boken möter vi tre sådana kvinnor som dessutom kom att hamna mitt i storpolitikens stormar. Alma Johansson från Sverige, Bodil Biørn från Norge och Maria Jacobsen från Danmark blev ögonvittnen till folkmordet på armenier under första världskriget i det osmanska riket. Det avskräckte dem dock inte. Efter kriget återvände de till regionen för att framför allt arbeta med armeniska kvinnor och barn. Denna bok vill uppmärksamma dessa hängivna kvinnor vilkas arbete varit känt och erkänt bland armenier världen över men inte hemma i Skandinavien. Som unga upplevde de en kallelse som de förblev trogna under en lång livsgärning i vilken de uppvisade mod, organisatorisk begåvning och professionalitet som sjuksköterskor och barnmorskor. Det här är en bit armenisk och osmansk historia likaväl som skandinavisk missions-, bistånds- och kvinnohistoria.
