The Eloquence of Silence, first published in 1994, is considered a seminal text in the scholarship of women and North Africa. This new edition is thoroughly updated throughout to connect the original material to major political disruptions in the 21st Century, such as the 9/11 attacks on New York and events around the "Arab Spring". In doing so, the book reveals how present circumstances for Algerian women remain dependent on national, regional as well as global decision-making and processes.
