The result is an informative, insightful, and engaging account of this sensitive and still largely secret aspect of Arab society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sexual attitudes and behaviors are shaped by politics and economics, religion and tradition, gender and generations--not only a reflection of the conditions that led to the uprisings, but also a measure of hard-won reforms in the years to come. Highly personal, rich with original research and remarkable stories, \u003ci\u003eSex and the Citadel\u003c\/i\u003e gives us unprecedented and timely insight into a part of the world that is changing before our eyes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shereen El Feki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.93h x 5.33w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307390295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShereen El Feki is a writer, broadcaster, and academic who started her professional life in medical science before going on to become an award-winning journalist for \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e and a presenter on Al Jazeera English.
