Table of ContentsReviewsAnthem of Misogyny is a provocative and iconoclastic investigation of the consequences of misogyny, drawing from sources as divergent as medieval theology and YouTube. Written in controlled passion, the book begins with a critique of feminism that rationalizes misogynistic culture in this area and leads toward a conclusion that is as powerful—and chilling—as a reader will find in a book emerging from academia. Non specialists—of which I am one—will find it as compelling as those already knowledgeable in the field. -- Marc Lendler, Smith College Erudite, powerful, and moving, Bouachrine provides a passionate account for the persistence of a toxic masculinity and misogyny in the MENA region. At the root of the problem lay the prevailing culture of impunity. Explaining why this is so, Bouachrine examines power relations, social practices, and norms that have normalized the abuse of women whilst entrenching patriarchy. This book should be a wake-up to the region’s peoples and governments. -- Hussein Solomon, University of the Free State Author InformationIbtissam Bouachrine is professor and chair of the department of Spanish and Portuguese and former director of the Middle East studies program at Smith College, where she teaches courses on gender and sexuality, Islam and the West, Islamic Spain, and minorities in North Africa and the Middle East.
