Linda Åhäll

Sexing War/Policing Gender

Motherhood, Myth and Women's Political Violence

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By using a poststructuralist feminist perspective and by analysing empirical cases from a Western 'war on terror' cultural context, Ahall seeks to demonstrate that motherhood is not simply a discourse denying women agency in political violence, but also central as to how agency in political violence is enabled.
