"Theoretically powerful and historically rich, this is an important study in comparative political sociology. Using the comparative method at its best to make a provocative argument about kin-based politics, Charrad gives us a new way of looking at state-building strategies."--Seymour M. Lipset, author of "Political Man
"In a stunning scholarly achievement, Charrad identifies the links between Islamic legal codes, kin-based political power and the subordination of women.J She traces the inner logic of political systems, showing how the different bases on which nations are built have very different implications for the rights of women."--Ann Swidler, author of "Talk of Love: How Culture Matters
"Charrad adds a new dimension to the consideration of women's rights and state formation not only in the Middle East, but throughout the world. In a rigorous comparative analysis of the origins and development of women's rights in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, she demonstrates how history and politics shape family law."--Elizabeth W. Fernea, author of "In Search of Islamic Feminism
"Necessary reading for those who wish to understand the role of state formation and cultural identity in diverse patterns of Muslim family lawreform, a legacy which continues to impact contemporary Muslim politics."--John Esposito, author of "Islam and Politics
"Charrad has offered one of the most systematic and insightful comparative analyses of the relationships between family systems, family law, and state. That the 'personal is political' becomes very concrete as she persuasively demonstrates that family relations are inseparable from state politics."--Suad Joseph, editor of "Citizenship and Gender in the Middle East
"Dr. Charrad's convincingly argued and meticulously researched book raises the bar of comparative studies of gender and the State, while making a unique contribution to knowledge about the rights and status of Muslim women in general and of the women of the Maghrib in particular."--Rae Blumberg, author of "Engendering Wealth and Well-being
"A new interpretation that will change the way we think about women's status and family law in North Africa."--Nancy Gallagher, author of "Approaches to the History of the Middle East
"Charrad's book is a wonderful example of the strength of the comparative method . . . Her study is a major contribution to the literature on women's rights and to the tradition of historical sociology."--Randall Collins, author of "Macrohistory: Essays in Sociology of the Long Run
