For scholars and students located, as is this reviewer, in places with erratic (or no) postal service, inadequate library budgets, and other problems of access and isolation, MIT's Electronic Journal of Middle East Studies (EJMES), a multidisciplinary journal launched in 2001, is welcome in its highly accessible form — but also in its innovative, and critical content. Its encouragement of work by young scholars, including graduate students, is particularly appealing.“Gender, Nation and Belonging: Arab and American Feminist Perspectives”, edited by Rabab Abdulhadi, Nadine Naber and Evelyn Alsultany (Summer 2006, Volume 5), is the most ambitious (as well as the longest) offering to date and has the signal virtue of being both analytically rich and a pleasure to read, including poetry, memoirs and interviews, as well as more academic interventions.
