Sara R. Farris examines the demands for women's rights from an
unlikely collection of right-wing nationalist political parties,
neoliberals, and some feminist theorists and policy makers.
Focusing on contemporary France, Italy, and the Netherlands, Farris
labels this exploitation and co-optation of feminist themes by
anti-Islam and xenophobic campaigns as "femonationalism." She shows
that by characterizing Muslim males as dangerous to western
societies and as oppressors of women, and by emphasizing the need
to rescue Muslim and migrant women, these groups use gender
equality to justify their racist rhetoric and policies. This
practice also serves an economic function. Farris analyzes how
neoliberal civic integration policies and feminist groups funnel
Muslim and non-western migrant women into the segregating domestic
and caregiving industries, all the while claiming to promote their
emancipation. In the Name of Women's Rights documents the links
between racism, feminism, and the ways in which non-western women
are instrumentalized for a variety of political and economic
purposes.
