Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Revolutions<\/em> sifts through the grains of Muslim daughterhood to reveal two metaphorical circles inextricably overlapping: shame and pleasure. In an extended conversation with Mona Hatoum\u2019s artwork + and \u2013<\/em>, Revolutions<\/em> asks how young Arab women \u2013 who live in homes and communities where actions are surveilled and categorized as 3aib or not 3aib, shameful or acceptable \u2013 make and unmake their identities. Working between a Palestinian and Iraqi poetics drawing from artists like Mahmoud Darwish and Naseer Shamma and a feminist Canadian poetics inspired by Er\u00edn Moure, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Nicole Brossard, Revolutions<\/em> spirals and collapses as we turn and re-turn around its circles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
