RETHINKING GLOBAL SISTERHOOD: Western Feminism and Iran Nima Naghibi University of Minnesota Press | 232 pages | 2007 ISBN 978-0-8166-4759-0 | hardcover | $67.50 ISBN 978-0-8166-4760-6 | paperback | $22.50 Nima Naghibi makes powerful connections among feminism, imperialism, and the discourses of global sisterhood. Naghibi investigates topics including the state-sponsored Womenıs Organization of Iran and the involvement of feminists such as Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem in the Iranian feminism movement. She also examines the veiled woman in the films of Tahmineh Milani, Ziba Mir-Hosseini and Kim Longinotto, and Mahnaz Afzali. ³Rethinking Global Sisterhood is an original and long-overdue critical examination of the representation of Iranian women in the modern era. The difficult and pressing questions Naghibi raises point to new ways of reading the realities of gender relations in Iran.² Nasrin Rahimieh For more information, including the table of contents, visit the bookıs webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/N/naghibi_rethinking.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
