Subject: [inciteboston] A talk with author and Iraqi feminist Nadje Al-Ali !

                                  Come and meet feminist, author and Iraqi women's spokesperson,
     Nadje Al-Ali
     speaking on
 Iraqi Women between Dictatorships, War, Sanctions, and Occupation
 
 Sunday, April 15, 3-5 PM Building E51-095, 2 Amherst St. (between Main and 
 Memorial Drive. 2 short blocks from Kendall T)
 
 Nadje Al-Ali is a senior lecturer in social anthropology at the Institute 
 of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter, UK. She is the 
 author of Iraqi Women: Untold Stories from 1948 to the Present 
 (forthcoming, March 2007, Zed Publishers). Gathered from more than 200 
 interviews, Al-Ali weaves together formally untold stories of Iraqi women 
 from different generations, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. While 
 focusing on women's experiences, Al-Ali also explores the multitude of 
 issues related to political repression under Saddam Hussein, sectarianism, 
 wars, sanctions, and occupation.
 
 At a time when women are facing a double jeopardy in Iraq from US forces 
 and Islamic militia, this is an extraordinary opportunity to hear what is 
 really happening.
 
 Although the timing of this event is a holiday weekend which is 
 challenging, we hope you make the time to be part of this historical 
 moment.
 
 Free and Open to the public.
 
 Co-sponsored by the Center for New Words, the Cambridge Peace Commission, 
 the Cambridge Women's Commission, and Women's Studies at MIT.
 
 This event is part of marking "Cambridge as a City of Peace" in 2007.
