Heart Tantrums and Brain Tumors: A Tale of Misogyny, Marriage and Muslim Feminism - Couverture souple
Synopsis
When Aisha Sarwari moved to America as a young woman, she set out to create her own identity and story. Born in Uganda, she had never lived in South Asia, yet struggled to reconcile the cultural expectation to be a "good Muslim girl" with her desire for equality and acceptance.
After she met Yasser, a Pakistani law student, they returned to their ancestral country and married. Little did they know that a brain tumor would become a near-lethal third wheel in their relationship. The cancer gnawed at Yasser's personality, provoking aggressive outbursts. Was the illness still the explanation for his violence, or had it become an excuse? Aisha began to see their marriage within a bigger picture--of an oppressive society, and of the tug between feminist principles and personal happiness. Between Africa, America and Pakistan, Heart Tantrums and Brain Tumors is a unique story of identity and belonging, misogyny and motherhood, patriarchy and partnership. Its searing honesty and political passion reveal one woman's battle to redefine the rules--by fighting for, and sometimes with, the man she loves.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : Good. When Aisha Sarwari left her childhood home in Uganda for America as a young woman, she set out to create her own identity and story. The daughter of Pakistani and Indian migrants, she had never lived in South Asia. Raised to be a 'good Muslim girl', she struggled to reconcile these cultural expectations with her desire for equality and acceptance. After she met Yasser, a Pakistani law student, they returned to their ancestral country and married. Little did they know that a brain tumor would become an almost lethal third wheel in their relationship. The cancer gnawed at Yasser's personality, provoking aggressive outbursts. The illness explained Yasser's violence, Aisha told herself; but at what point did it become the excuse? She began to see their marriage within a bigger picture--of women's place in an oppressive society, and of the tug between feminist principles and personal happiness. Between Africa, the USA and Pakistan, this is a unique story of abuse and trauma, identity and belonging, misogyny and motherhood, patriarchy and power. With searing honesty and political passion, Heart Tantrums and Brain Tumors reveals one woman's battle to redefine the rules--by fighting for, and sometimes with, the man she loved.
