Summary Annotation. This volume represents revised versions of a collection of papers presented at the Cairo Papers Ninth Annual Symposium on "The New Arab Family, " held in May 2000. Marriage, divorce, and related topics were center stage, particularly in the demographic papers. Another focus was to combine two very different approaches to the study of the family--on the one hand demographic, and on the other broadly sociological or anthropological, or as some would say, psychodynamic. The research covers most of the Arab world, though with a focus on Egypt. Vols. 24 Nos. 1/2
