Contributions from leading interdisciplinary scholars, exploring gender representation, photography, dress and visual culture, recount the role of the visible elite body in campaigns for gender and social emancipation, dress histories concerning early nationalist women and men, and legal frameworks used by those who seek to control the movement of gendered bodies. The result is a rich picture of a historical period and cultural landscape which brings dress and visual culture back into historical narratives of the modern Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecognising multiple modernities, multiple imperialisms and diverse regional experiences of post-colonialism, \u003ci\u003eFashioning the Modern Middle East \u003c\/i\u003econtains a range of theoretical frameworks invaluable to students of fashion studies, Middle Eastern studies, anthropology, photography and gender. Bringing forward new primary material and re-investigating extant sources from new perspectives, this is the essential introduction to the role of the dressed and undressed body in the formation of the modern Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReina Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e is Centenary Professor of Cultural Studies at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, UK.
