 ptian Revolution A Talk by Nadine Naber\, Professor\,\nDepartment of Gende
 r and Women's Studies and the Global Asian Studies Program\, \n\nUniversit
 y of\nIllinois at Chicago \n\nThis\ntalk is based upon ethnographic resear
 ch with leftist women activists who\nparticipated in the Egyptian revoluti
 on of 2011 while mothering young children.\nIt seeks to “unsentimentalize 
 mothering” by exploring its radical potentials\nwithin the context of revo
 lution. I argue that mothering\, among my\ninterlocutors\, is constituted 
 by a radical potential precisely because—contrary\nto what mainstream narr
 atives and widely accepted feminist accounts would\nsuggest—they do not ex
 perience mothering and revolution as conflictual.\nInstead\, their motheri
 ng is a practice of resistance to state violence rather\nthan a sentimenta
 lized identity confined to domestic space that supports the\nnation. \n\nD
 r.\nNadine Naber is an award winning author\, public speaker and activist 
 on the\ntopics of racial justice\; gender justice\; women of color feminis
 ms\; Arab and\nMuslim feminisms\; Arab Americans\; and Muslim Americans. S
