Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escape! From An Arab Marriage, Cassandra's first book, includes her personal story and documented stories of other women who became involved with Arab/Muslim men who have come from the Middle East. The women in these stories have learned firsthand the truth of how women are thought of in Islamic societies that 6th century traditional abuse and cruelty toward women, alive and well today, is still an everyday part of married life to an Arab/Muslim which includes abduction of any children to countries such as Saudi Arabia where they are forced to remain and where their heartbroken mothers can never see them again or bring them home. Also included in this book is a list of Islamic characteristics of marriages to Arab/Muslim males and of premarital relationships virtually every woman who becomes involved with these individuals inevitably finds herself facing. Not only has Cassandra herself had to survive such an environment, every person whose story is in this book has been the victim of a nightmare relationships she did not realize could exist in real life and that this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many such stories which are never told because the women are too ashamed, too beaten down, or too afraid to tell anyone for fear of dire consequences for themselves or their children.

Download or read book Kinship and Marriage in Early Arabia written by William Robertson Smith and published by Cambridge : University Press. This book was released on 1885 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Robertson Smith reveals the ancient familial and marital customs of Arabia, detailing their significance in the social and hierarchical structure of the society. First appearing in the 1880s, this enquiry did much to introduce and clarify Arabian customs of marriage and kinship to scholars working in the West. The place of the father and mother in the household, and the significance of children male and female, has a strong bearing on the community life of each tribe. Many tribes would use totemism to establish a person's lineage and relations, with totem symbols being commonplace in the Arabic tribes of yore. The bond of blood was considered enormously significant among nomadic groups; many felt a kinship even over vast geographic distances and despite meeting with one another only on rare occasions. Smith is meticulous in his sources, referencing historical documents produced in Arabia, in the courts of various rulers, as well as holy texts and other pertinent records. The result is an authentic and impeccably written narrative which sheds light not simply on its subject of family bonds, but on wider Arabian culture and history. This reprint reproduces the instances of Arabic and Hebrew text, so that readers can fully comprehend the significance and depth of the research.

Download or read book The Courage to Be Jewish and the Wife of an Arab Sheik written by Anne Hart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06-24 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's a nice Brooklyn Jewish girl novelist with a fiddle doing married to an Arab Sheik dressed like a Queen of Egypt in the deserts? Playing the G-string. Comparing Mizrahi music to Klezmer and Taksim to Magham Seekah. Poetry found its mood here. At dawn I rose on October 25, 1963 to see the salmon slit that ripped the East. My eyes were weary, but the day had to begin. Above, a jet cracked the sky, leaving a feathery trail of scattering wisps of smoke. These clouds soon parted. And by the time the sun melted into the hot winds and its streams radiated to push the thermometer up to 120 degrees, I had packed and unfolded the first flaps of tent to start the new day. Between ethnomusicology, anthropology, and creative writing research, I had my hands full and two toddlers riding camelback.

Book excerpt: Arab American Book Award Winner for Fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 William Saroyan International Prize for Literature Named a Best Debut Novel of the Year by BookPage and a Best Book of the Year by The New Arab “A marvel. An intricately realized novel that honors every place it depicts.” —Rakesh Satyal “I love the sea,” she said. “I don’t know if I could live without it.” During a snowy Cleveland February, newlywed university students Muneer and Saeedah are expecting their first child, and he is harboring a secret: the word divorce is whispering in his ear. Soon, their marriage will end, and Muneer will return to Saudi Arabia, while Saeedah remains in Cleveland with their daughter, Hanadi. Consumed by a growing fear of losing her daughter, Saeedah disappears with the little girl, leaving Muneer to desperately search for his daughter for years. The repercussions of the abduction ripple outward, not only changing the lives of Hanadi and her parents, but also their interwoven family and friends—those who must choose sides and hide their own deeply guarded secrets. And when Hanadi comes of age, she finds herself at the center of this conflict, torn between the world she grew up in and a family across the ocean. How can she exist between parents, between countries? Eman Quotah’s Bride of the Sea is a spellbinding debut of colliding cultures, immigration, religion, and family; an intimate portrait of loss and healing; and, ultimately, a testament to the ways we find ourselves inside love, distance, and heartbreak.
