Eyeliner: A Cultural History by Zahra Hankir 🧵

First, I'm fascinated by the book & I'm in love with it. I listen to the audiobook at every chance I get.
Many of you know I've been dealing with chronic illness for years now. I stopped wearing kohl in the last couple...

نوال السعداوي Feminist Killjoy Cherrie Moraga 6. Our Women on the Ground by Zahra Hankir
The 19 essays challenge stereotypes of what it is to be a woman and a reporter in the Arab world.

Middle East is not a policy debate or somewhere to parachute into for these women, it’s their homes and they welcome you in for a nuanced look.

'Making kohl is not only a craft; it is a tangible link to her grandmother’s legacy, and to her identity.'

Author of EYELINER Zahra Hankir writes about the intriguing history of kohl via CNN cnn.com/2024/02/29/sty…

For CNN Style, I wrote about kohl in the Arab world -specifically through the lens of cultural continuation. Against the backdrop of Israel’s war in Gaza, I argue that the preservation of such customs assumes even greater significance in Palestine:

Be still my heart. Listening to Leila Fadel on NPR and hearing a tease for a segment about Zahra Hankir’s new book. Today is going to be a great day.

Back in 2018, I learned about the brilliant work of Zahra Hankir through a journalist friend in Hawaii. Tomorrow, she will be giving a talk at Columbia Journalism about her acclaimed book 'Eyeliner: A Cultural History,' which I guess should be an edifying event for the postgrads
