N2  - This book offers a unique opportunity to explore contemporary Arab art by women. The volume collects 18 Arab women artists from around the world to challenge western stereotyping of women's role in Arab society. The contributors and artists illustrate how women experience and question their lives as integral to the Arab diaspora. Their cross-cultural dialogue reflects the diversity of today's Arab art, and the fresh perspective that each artist brings to the genre. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc
