Using archival research and interviews with a historicocritical method, it traces how women are instrumentalized as political tropes during crises, while their needs and voices remain obscured. The edition connects core arguments to post-9/11 and Arab Spring disruptions, highlights activism against wartime violence, and calls for decolonizing theoretical concepts.","THE ELOQUENCE OF SILENCE  \nThe Eloquence of Silence, first published in 1994, is considered a seminal text in the scholarship of women and North Africa. Marnia Lazreg makes a critical departure from more traditional studies of Algerian women, which usually examine female roles in relation to Islam – and instead takes an interdisciplinary approach, arguing that Algerian women’s roles are shaped by a variety of structural and symbolic factors. These include colonial domination, demographic change, nationalism, family formation, the turn to culturalism and the progressive shift to a capitalist economy.  \nGrounded in archival research supplemented by interviews, and adopting a historicocritical method, the book identifies and examines the significance ofan enduring feature of women’s journey: their instrumental use as tropes in struggles between groups of men opposed to one another during political crises. It demonstrates that despite being central to contentious political issues, women’s needs and aspirations were obscured just as their voices have traditionally been silenced.  \nThis new edition is thoroughly updated throughout to connect the original material to major political disruptions in the twenty-first century, such as the 9/11 attacks on New York and events around the “Arab Spring.” The book foregrounds women’s determination to forge ahead, as well as their activism, which led to progress in fighting rape and other forms of violence made banal in the wake of the civil war (1992–2002) . It also calls for a “decolonization” of concepts and theoretical systems used in accounting for women’s lived reality, and a questioning of facile postfeminist discourses in their manifold expressions.  \nMarnia Lazreg is Professor of Sociology at Hunter College, CUNY, USA. Her research interests span constructions of otherness, colonial history, cultural movements, international development, women in the Middle East and North Africa, and postmodernist social theory. She has lectured extensively around the world and participated in radio and television programs.
