Since the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, the
challenges of sectarianism and militarism have weighed heavily on
the women of Iraq. In this book, Zahra Ali foregrounds a wide-range
of interviews with a variety of women involved in women's rights
activism, showing how everyday life and intellectual life has
developed since the US-led invasion. In addition to this, Ali
offers detailed historical research of social, economic and
political contexts since the formation of the Iraqi state in the
1920s. Through a transnational and postcolonial feminist approach,
this book also considers the ways in which gender norms and
practices, Iraqi feminist discourses, and activisms are shaped and
developed through state politics, competing nationalisms,
religious, tribal and sectarian dynamics, wars, and economic
sanctions. The result is a vivid account of the everyday life in
today's Iraq and an exceptional analysis of the future of Iraqi
feminisms.
