Produktbeschreibung
This book offers a transnational feminist response to the gender politics of torture and terror. Deb draws widely on postcolonial literature, photography, film, music, media, and activism, joining the larger conversation about human rights by addressing the pervasive public misunderstanding of terrorism conditioned by a foreign and domestic policy perspective. The volume brings counter-terror narratives into dialogue with ideologies of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, and religion, addressing the situation of women as both perpetrators and targets of torture, and the possibilities of a dialogue between feminist and queer politics to confront securitized regimes of torture.
