At the Drop of a Veil: Marianne Alireza-SIGNED BY; AUTHOR-HARDCOVER-Marianne Alireza (Author)-CONDITION GOOD-DJ FAIR-SIGNED BY AUTHOR-COPYRIGHT1971 11TH PRINTING-275 PAGES-PUBLISHED BY HOUGHTON MIFFLIN CO, BOSTON This review is from: At the Drop of a Veil (Hardcover) This book tells the tale of Marianne Alireza, an American college student who married a Saudi citizen in 1943. In 1945, Alireza moved to Jeddah with her husband and infant daughter, and from there witnessed Arabian lifestyle firsthand for 12 years. She describes her experiences as part of the Alireza harem, composed of her mother-in-law, 2 sisters-in-law and their various children, of which Marianne herself eventually had 5. Alireza discusses how the family traveled to the mountains of Ethiopia to escape the summer heat in Jeddah, and how development changed all of their lives. She also details the events that led to the end of her marriage, and how she abducted her children from their school in Switzerland. The details of this book make it invaluable for anyone wanting to learn about living conditions for women in affluent Saudi Arabia in the 1940s and 50s. The story of Alireza's marriage and its demise should also serve as a warning to any Western woman considering marrying a Muslim. Under Islamic law, a Muslim man is usually granted sole custody of his (weaned) children following divorce and a Western woman who is divorced from a Middle Eastern Muslim man stands a very high chance of never being allowed to see her children again. From the man's point of view, his child custody rights are guaranteed by God, and he would be devastated to lose his children. It was exactly this sort of situation which put Marianne in the position where she felt she had no choice but to abduct her children and try to escape back to the States. All marriages these days face a relatively high risk of divorce, but cross-cultural marriages bring added stress and tend to have even higher divorce rates than marriages within a culture. Thus, a Western woman who decides to marry a foreign Muslim man is entering into a situation where there is a 1 in 2 chance of divorce, and if divorce does happen, she has an extremely high chance of losing her children forever. And this is true no matter how happily the marriage starts off, as it happened in Marianne's case. Interestingly, a quick 2001 Web search for Marianne's children turned up a traveler's note stating that all 5 of her children decided to return to Saudi Arabia upon reaching adulthood

Knopf Canada, 2007. 1st Edition . Hardcover. New/Fair. In Fair Condition. Welll Used. Signed By Authur "To Bill". Hard To Find. With Wear To Edges And/Or Turned Corners. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. A Bestselling Investigative Journalist Takes A Tour Of The Alberta Oil And Gas Industry, Revealing How Canada'S Richest Province Is Squandering Our Chance For A Sustainable Future. In Its Desperate Search For Oil And Gas Riches, Alberta Is Destroying Itself. As The World Teeters On The Edge Of Catastrophic Climate Change, Alberta Plunges Ahead With Uncontrolled Development Of Its Fossil Fuels, Levelling Its Northern Boreal Forest To Get At The Oil Sands, And Carpet-Bombing Its Southern Half With Tens Of Thousands Of Gas Wells. In So Doing, It Is Running Out Of Water, Destroying Its Range Land, Wiping Out Its Forests And Wildlife And Spewing Huge Amounts Of Greenhouse Gases Into The Atmosphere, Adding To Global Warming At A Rate That Is Unrivalled In Canada Or Almost Anywhere Else In The World. It'S Digging, Drilling And Blasting Its Way To Oblivion, Becoming The Ultimate Symbol Of Canada'S - And The World'S - Pathological Will To Self-Destruct. Nowhere Has The World Seen Such Colossal Environmental Destruction As Is Being Wreaked On Alberta. At One Point The Province Even Went So Far As To Consider A Scientist'S Idea Of Nuking Its Underbelly To Get At The Tar Sands. Stupid To The Last Drop Looks At The Increasingly Violent Geopolitical Forces That Are Gathering As The World'S Gas And Oil Dwindle And The Age Of Oil Begins Its Inevitable Slide Towards Oblivion. As Canadians Deplete Their Energy Reserves, Selling Them Off To Americans At Bargain-Basement Prices, No Thought Is Given To Conservation Or The Long-Term Needs Of The Nation. In This Powerful Polemic, William Marsden Journeys Across The Heart Of A Province Seized By The Destructive Forces Of Greed, Power And The Energy Business, And Envisions A Very Bleak Future.
