A considerable literature has been devoted to the study of Islamic activism. By contrast, Nadje Al-Ali's book explores the anthropological and political significance of secular-oriented activism by focusing on the women's movement in Egypt. In so doing, it challenges stereotypical images of Arab women as passive victims and demonstrates how they fight for their rights and confront conservative forces. Al-Ali's book also takes issue with prevailing constructions of 'the West' and its perceived dichotomous relation to 'the East'. The argument is constructed around interviews which afford fascinating insights into the history of the women's movement in Egypt, notions about secularism and how Islamist constituencies have impacted on women's activism generally. The balance between the empirical and conceptual material is adeptly handled. The author frames her work in the context of current theoretical debates in Middle Eastern and post-colonial scholarship: while some of the ideas are complex, her lucid style means they are always comprehensible; the book will therefore appeal to students, as well as to scholars in the field.

Si hace dos o tres décadas alguien hubiera dicho que en el inicio del siglo XXI, en México, la cuestión de la laicidad estaría en el centro del debate político, la aseveración hubiera parecido, por lo menos, aventurada. La laicidad del Estado y de la educación no sólo estaban fuera de discusión o posible controversia, sino que, de hecho, ni siquiera formaban parte del debate público. La laicidad mexicana estaba allí, nadie la cuestionaba, y por lo tanto nadie, o muy pocos reflexionaban sobre ella.De hecho, aún ahora, el término laicidad es poco utilizado, frecuentemente malentendido y escasamente comprendido. Su percepción es difusa, aun si se sabe que está presente y que forma parte esencial de nuestras instituciones. Reforzarla constituye un reto insoslayable. Es esa la razón por la que El Colegio de México, la Secretaría de Educación Pública y la Secretaría de Gobernación, a través de la Subsecretaría de Asuntos Religiosos, decidieron llevar a cabo un coloquio sobre el tema que se llevó a cabo el 6 de abril de 2000 en las instalaciones del propio Colegio. Los trabajos allí expuestos son el material que contiene este libro.
