DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :Dr. Nora DERBAL will present her latest book: 

Charity in Saudi Arabia:
Civil Society under Authoritarianism, (CUP, 2022).

 

The book is based on extensive fieldwork in Jeddah and Riyadh between 2009-2020. Through a ‘bottom-up’ approach challenging dominant narratives about state-society relations in Saudi Arabia, it explores charity organizations in Jeddah.  

The lens of everyday charity practices offers rare insights into the religiosity of ordinary Saudis, showing that Islam offers Saudi activists a language, a moral frame, and a worldly guide to confronting inequality, thereby opening new theoretical debates about civil society and civic activism in the Gulf. 

 

The session at the CGS seminar will be devoted, in particular, to methodological questions of fieldwork and access.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=13007
