About This Item
Leiden: Colofon, 2001. 403pp. Original pictorial wraps. One Foot in Heaven conflates two main perspectives on women propagated by the Islamist government of Sudan since its inception in 1989: as mothers and wives within the walls of their compounds. Central are the biographic narratives of two working women in Kebkabiya, a town in Darfur, each belonging to a different class: low-class market women and highly esteemed female teachers. Based on anthropological research(1990-1995) the author analyses the narratives as part of the multi-layered context in which these were performed. Pages are clean (no writing, underlining, or highlighting). Binding is tight with no cracks or breaks. Covers have some light scuffing. Shelfwear (light bumping to extremities, light nicking to head of spine, corners rubbed). This is not a remainder or ex-library. No previous owner markings. Nice reading copy. . First Edition, Collectible. Trade Paperback. Good +/No Jacket as Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
