Dear Andras,

Thank you for suggesting to use the Wayback Machine.  Unfortunately, all six
links pertaining Vol. 5 of this journal links the users to one article, that
was published in 2003 issue... Just for your information.

Any other suggestions from MELA members would be appreciated.

RE: Article in MITJMES

Dear Shayee,

I went back to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and found that the article is actually there. One just
has to read the results correctly.

The results of a search in the Wayback Machine are not grouped in the way one might expect in a library
catalog. What the little columns of years and dates represent are NOT issues of the journal, but
'snapshots' of the entire MITEJMES website at a given moment, taken by the Internet Archive's automatic
web crawlers which visit the site at intervals several months apart. The results can sometimes be hard to
predict, given that each 'crawl' may not capture all of the content on the site. If you click on one of the
most recent archived iterations of the MITEJMES website available in the results set (June 19, 2008) --

http://web.archive.org/web/20080619012524/web.mit.edu/cis/www/mitejmes/intro.htm

and then click on "Archives" in the menu bar at left
and then select "Vol. 5, Spring 2005" among the options

you will get the pdf of the special issue "Gender, Nation and Belonging: Arab and Arab-American Feminist
Perspectives", including the article your patron wanted.

The download may take longer than you expect; if it looks like it's stuck, try again. It does work eventually.

I hope this helps,

András

Al-Samoud==Glossy new front in battle for hearts and minds

Glossy new front in battle for hearts and minds

The Independent --Friday, 2 April 2010

by Robert Fisk:

Once it was grainy video footage on websites. Now the Taliban believes its best chance of winning the propaganda war lies in a magazine

A magazine and book stand in Kabul. One of the creators of Al-Samoud, Abu Ahmed, says the magazine is designed to counter the fact that Afghan media 'is controlled by the West'

It's sleek, it's glossy, it's in eloquent Arabic, Pashto and Dari, and it pours derision on American and Nato forces in Afghanistan; it is the brand new propaganda wing of the Taliban: not just internet video of attacks on the western armies in Helmand and Kandahar, but professionally produced magazines, carrying stories of the Taliban's own "martyrdom" operations and the names of its dead fighters. For once, the cliché "well-oiled publicity machine" is correct.
