As media coverage of terrorism and terroristic acts has increased
so too has the discussion about the identities, motives, and gender
of the perpetrators. Over the past fifteen years, there have been
over 150 reported suicide bombings committed by women around the
world. Because of its prominence in media reporting, the phrase
"female suicide bomber" has become loaded with gendered notions and
assumptions that elicit preconditioned responses in the West.
Female Suicide Bombings critically examines and challenges common
assumptions of this loaded term. Tanya Narozhna and W. Andy Knight
introduce female suicide bombings as a socio-political practice and
a product of deeply politicized, gendered representations. Drawing
on a combination of feminist and post-colonial approaches as well
as terrorism studies literature, the authors seek to transcend
ideological divisions in order to enhance our understanding of how
gender, power, and academic practices influence our perceptions of
female suicide bombings.
