Gender, Orientalism, and the ‘War on Terror'

This book offers an accessible, timely analysis of the ‘War on Terror’ using a broad range of theoretical and empirical research. It uses ‘gendered orientalism’ as a lens through which to read the relationship between the Bush administration, gendered and racialized military intervention, and global politics. It draws upon poststructural and postcolonial scholarship and is situated within the existing feminist work that has been done on the ‘War on Terror’. This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and all those involved in gender politics, development, humanitarian intervention, international (global) relations, Middle East politics, security, and US foreign policy.
