In the Crossfire of History

Women's War Resistance Discourse in the Global South

Herausgeber: Asaad, Lava; Hasanat, Fayeza

Beschreibung

This book incorporates literary works, testimonies, autobiographies, women’s resistance movements, and films that add to the conversation on the resilience of women in the global south. The essays question historical accuracy and politics of representation that usually undermine women’s role during conflict, and they reevaluate how women participated, challenged, sacrificed, and vehemently opposed war discourses that work on obliterating women’s role in shaping resistance movements.
