Women Shaping Islam
Author: Pieternella van Doorn-HarderPublisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252092716
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In the United States, precious little is known about the active role Muslim women have played for nearly a century in the religious culture of Indonesia, the largest majority-Muslim country in the world. While much of the Muslim world excludes women from the domain of religious authority, the country's two leading Muslim organizations--Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)--have created enormous networks led by women who interpret sacred texts and exercise powerful religious influence. In Women Shaping Islam, Pieternella van Doorn-Harder explores the work of these contemporary women leaders, examining their attitudes toward the rise of radical Islamists; the actions of the authoritarian Soeharto regime; women's education and employment; birth control and family planning; and sexual morality. Ultimately, van Doorn-Harder reveals the many ways in which Muslim women leaders understand and utilize Islam as a significant force for societal change; one that ultimately improves the economic, social, and psychological condition of women in Indonesian society.
Ted Van Doorn: a Memoir
Author: Ted Van DoornPublisher: John Spiers Company
ISBN: 0982968302
Category : Japan
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
An eyewitness account - Ted Van Doorn was raised in a typical Japanese house-hold (by a Dutch father); was a soldier in the Imperial Army (who silently rooted for an Allied victory); and a prisoner of a Siberian gulag (who later became an employee of the American Occupation forces). Van Doorn vividly recounts a childhood and young adulthood lived in the most turbulent and transformative years of modern Japan's history, from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, which left 140,000 people dead, to the country's epic involvement in World War II and its uncertain aftermath. Ted van Doorn was well known for his 30 years as founder of Vandor Imports in San Francisco, leading the gift and housewares industry in the USA with design and élan. Even those who knew him well had no idea of his remarkable past, and it was his last act to reveal his earlier life in this memoir.
