Lissa

A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship, and Revolution

By: Sherine Hamdy,Coleman Nye

As young girls in Cairo, Anna and Layla strike up an unlikely friendship that crosses class, cultural, and religious divides. Years later, Anna learns that she may carry the hereditary cancer gene responsible for her mother's death. Meanwhile, Layla's family is faced with a difficult decision about kidney transplantation. Their friendship is put to the test when these medical crises reveal stark differences in their perspectives...until revolutionary unrest in Egypt changes their lives forever. The first book in a new series, Lissa brings anthropological research to life in comic form, combining scholarly insights and accessible, visually-rich storytelling to foster greater understanding of global politics, inequalities, and solidarity.

Moon Shadows

By: Sherine Khalil

Stephen Campbell is a young Scottish art historian, who travels to Egypt, retracing his great-grandfather's footsteps in the East. With romantic notions he seeks to relive the magic he sees in his ancestor's Orientalist paintings. Once in Cairo, he is swept by the energy of the city, and falls in love with beautiful Mira, an ambitious tourist guide. Little does Stephen know that his Egyptian goddess is involved in an illegal excavation of ancient Egyptian tombs. Entangled in a web of crime, and love, Stephen is trapped, questions the very essence of love, and is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice.

An Islam of Her Own

Reconsidering Religion and Secularism in Women’s Islamic Movements

By: Sherine Hafez

As the world grapples with issues of religious fanaticism, extremist politics, and rampant violence that seek justification in either “religious” or “secular” discourses, women who claim Islam as a vehicle for individual and social change are often either regarded as pious subjects who subscribe to an ideology that denies them many modern freedoms, or as feminist subjects who seek empowerment only through rejecting religion and adopting secularist discourses. Such assumptions emerge from a common trend in the literature to categorize the ‘secular’ and the ‘religious’ as polarizing categories, which in turn mitigates the identities, experiences and actions of women in Islamic societies. Yet in actuality Muslim women whose activism is grounded in Islam draw equally on principles associated with secularism. In An Islam of Her Own, Sherine Hafez focuses on women’s Islamic activism in Egypt to challenge these binary representations of religious versus secular subjectivities. Drawing on six non-consecutive years of ethnographic fieldwork within a women's Islamic movement in Cairo, Hafez analyzes the ways in which women who participate in Islamic activism narrate their selfhood, articulate their desires, and embody discourses in which the boundaries are blurred between the religious and the secular.
