"The Worms Are Weak": Male Infertility and Patriarchal Paradoxes in Egypt / Marcia C. Inhorn; Electronic reproduction; [Place of publication not identified]; HathiTrust Digital Library; 2010 N2 - "This challenging book of essays outlines the great complexity, variety and difference of male identities in Islamic societies. From the Taliban orphanages of Afghanistan to the cafés of Morocco; from the experience of couples at infertility clinics in Egypt to that of Iraqi conscripts, these essays illustrate how the masculine gender is constructed and negotiated in the Islamic Ummah. The collection goes far beyond the traditional notion that Islamic masculinities are inseparable from the control of women. The essays outline an experience of the relation between spirituality and masculinity quite different from the prevailing Western norms. Drawing on sources ranging from modern Arabic literature to discussions of Muhammad's virility and Abraham's paternity, Islamic Masculinities portrays ways of being in the world that intertwine with non-Western conceptions of duty to the family, the state and the divine. This innovative and illuminating book will be of major interest to students of culture, gender and sociology, and will provide new insights even to specialists in the Middle East and Islamic Studies."--Provided by publisher UR - http://www.dawsonera.com/depp/reader/protected/external/AbstractView/S9781848131514 UR - http://site.ebrary.com/id/10231440 UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=263843 UR - http://books.google.com/books?id=ZqKxAAAAIAAJ UR - http://catalog.hathitrust.org/api/volumes/oclc/62225917.html UR - http://www.myilibrary.com?id=125922 UR - https://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=339229 UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0662/2006277098-t.html UR - https://discover.gcu.ac.uk/discovery/openurl?institution=44GLCU_INST&vid=44GLCU_INST:44GLCU_VU2&?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&rft.mms_id=991000979979703836 UR - http://www.vlebooks.com/vleweb/product/openreader?id=none&isbn=9781848137141 ER -
