Gendered Politics and Law in JordanGuardianship over Women /[electronic resource] :by Afaf Jabiri. - 1st ed. 2016. - IX, 210 p.online resource.

Chapter 1: Introduction: Gender, Law, and Politics in Jordan -- Chapter 2: Constructing Normative Femininity: The Engagement of Law and Religious Interpretations -- Chapter 3: Women’s Alternative Forms of Femininity: Compliant, Pragmatic, and Exceptional Selves -- Chapter 4: Women’s Everyday Tactics of Defiance and Compliance -- Chapter 5: Rebelling Against the System of Guardianship: Women “in Need of Correction and Rehabilitation” -- Chapter 6: Conclusion: State, Gendered Power of Guardianship, and the Potential for Change.

This book analyzes how the state constructs and reproduces gender identities in the context and geopolitics of Jordan. Guardianship over women is examined as not only the basis of women’s legal and social subordination, but also a key factor in the construction and reproduction of a gender hierarchy system. Afaf Jabiri probes how a masculine state gives power and legitimacy through guardianship to institutions—including family, religion, and tribe—in managing, producing, and constructing gender identity. Does the masculine institution succeed in imposing a dominant form of femininity? Or are there ways by which women escape and resist the social and legal construction of femininity? Based on over 60 case studies of contemporary women in Jordan, the book additionally examines how the resultant strategies and tactics developed by women in Jordan are influenced by and affect their status within the guardianship system.
