This book offers a transnational feminist response to the gender
politics of torture and terror from the viewpoint of populations of
color who have come to be associated with acts of terror. Using the
War on Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq, this book revisits other
such racialized wars in Palestine, Guatemala, India, Algeria, and
South Africa. It draws widely on postcolonial literature,
photography, films, music, interdisciplinary arts, media/new media,
and activism, joining the larger conversation about human rights by
addressing the problem of a pervasive public misunderstanding of
terrorism conditioned by a foreign and domestic policy perspective.
Deb provides an alternative understanding of terrorism as
revolutionary dissent against injustice through a
postcolonial/transnational lens. 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. This book explores the
relationship in which social and cultural texts stand with respect
to legacies of colonialism and neo-imperialism in a world of
transnational feminist solidarities against postcolonial wars on
terror.
