  • The Right to Inquire: Approaching the Civil Rights Movement Through Poetry
    Teachers & Writers Collaborative www.twc.org by Laura Gamache The Right to Inquire: Approaching the Civil Rights Movement through Poetry Volume 36, Issue 2, page 13 Genre: Poetry Grade: 4, 5, 6 Population: All Laura Gamache writes poetry and nonfiction. She has been a teaching artist with the Washington State Arts Commission’s Arts in Education Program since 1995, and a writer-in-the-schools with Seattle Arts and Lectures’ WITS Program since 1997. Approaching the Civil Rights Movement through Poetry Jason Lee Middle School is perched in an area above the docks and railroad terminus of central Tacoma, Washington, which has housed a succession of immigrant populations throughout the last century. Recent arrivals from Ukraine, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Central and South America have entered a community that struggles against being identified as disadvantaged. In January of 2003, I was invited by seventh-grade language arts teachers Justina Johnson and Chad Davidson to deliver a series of poetry workshops in conjunction with their current unit on the Civil Rights Movement. My goal was to get the students to care about civil rights by bringing the subject into the present tense. Most of my students’ parents were born after 1965, so the children were already twice removed from the roots of the movement. I wanted to show them that movements mean just that: actions towards change put in motion by questions. The first question middle-school students have is, “What does this have to do with me?” By asking the age-old question: “Where are you from?” I invited them to see themselves in the context of the ongoing pursuit of the American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

  • Arabic Poetry: Trajectories of Modernity and Tradition
    ARABIC POETRY Since the late 1940s, Arabic poetry has spoken for an Arab conscience, as much as it has debated positions and ideologies, nationally and worldwide. This book tackles issues of modernity and tradition in Arabic poetry as manifested in poetic texts and criticism by poets as participants in transformation and change. Arabic Poetry studies the poetic in its complexity as pertaining to issues of: ● Selfhood ● Individuality ● Community ● Religion ● Ideology ● Nation ● Class and ● Gender This book also studies in context, issues that have been cursorily noticed or neglected, like Shi’i poetics, Sufism, women’s poetry, and expressions of exilic consciousness. It employs current literary theory and provides comprehensive coverage of modern and postmodern poetry from the 1950s onwards. Arabic Poetry is essential reading for those with interests in Arabic culture and literature and Middle East studies. Muhsin J. al-Musawi is Professor of Middle East and Asian Studies at Columbia University and University Professor at the American University of Sharjah. He has published 24 books in English and Arabic, including Scheherazade in England and The Postcolonial Arabic Novel. He is the editor of Journal of Arabic Literature. In 2002 he received the Owais Award in literary criticism, the most prestigious nongovernmental award in the Arab world. ROUTLEDGE STUDIES IN MIDDLE EASTERN LITERATURE Editors James E.

    Women and Gender in the Middle East and North Africa, WMST345-01/INTL200-01 Mondays and Wednesdays 2:30-3:50, Knapp Hall 409 Denison University, Fall 2007 Instructor: Isis Nusair Email: [email protected] Office: Knapp Hall 210C, Phone: (740) 587-8537 Office Hours: Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30-6 Course Description This course investigates contemporary feminist thinking and practice in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and provides students with the ability to understand, critique, and comparatively analyze the politics of gender in the MENA region. The class covers current debates on the status of women, and closely examines the processes by which the private/public lives of women are gendered. It addresses women's visibility in society and the development or lack thereof of women's and feminist movements. The main themes covered in the course include colonization, women and the state, citizenship, nationalism, religion, sexuality, representation, development, militarization, human rights, and women’s movements. The course focuses on the following countries: Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Saudi Arabia. The class is interdisciplinary and uses feminist pedagogy to challenge orientalist, monolithic, and Eurocentric notions of studying the region and particularly the status of women. It gives equal weight to theory and practice and draws on writings by local and global activists and theorists. Class Requirements Students in addition to reading the course material, attending screening sessions, and participating in class discussions will monitor at least one media outlet and trace the representation of women and gender in the Middle East and North Africa.
