Description

Women across the globe are being dramatically suffering from war as currently waged by the united states. But there was little public space for dialogue about the complex relationship between feminism, women, and war.

The editors of Feminism and War have brought together a diverse set of leading theorists and activists who examine the questions raised by ongoing American military initiatives, such as: 

What are the implications of an imperial nation/state laying claim to women’s liberation? 
What’s the relation between this claim and resulting American foreign policy and military action? 
Did American intervention and invasion in reality result in liberation for women in Afghanistan and Iraq? 
What more than one concepts are embedded in the phrase ‘women’s liberation’? 
How are these connected to the specifics of religion, culture, history, economics, and nation within current conflicts? 
What’s the relation between the lives of Afghan and Iraqi women before and after invasion, and that of women living in america? 
How do women who define themselves as feminists face up to or acquiesce to this nation/state claim in current theory and organizing?

Feminism and War reveals and critically analyzes the complicated ways in which The united states uses gender, race, class, nationalism, imperialism to justify, legitimate, and continue war. Each and every chapter builds on the next to develop an anti-racist, feminist politics that places imperialist power, and forms of resistance to it, central to its comprehensive analysis.
