In the mid-2000s, the US military strategically employed development as a weapon, reviving counterinsurgency efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the importance of winning hearts and minds, the military formed all-female teams to engage with households through development projects. Despite the technical ban on women in ground combat units, these all-female teams found themselves inadvertently involved in combat. Drawing from extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book challenges prevailing liberal feminist narratives that justified the Afghanistan War in the name of women's rights and celebrated women's integration into combat as a triumph for gender equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Greenburg, in her critical examination, challenges the emergence of a new imperial feminism and its pivotal role in securing US hegemony. The inclusion of women in combat through emotional labor has perpetuated gender stereotypes, with counterinsurgency narratives portraying female soldiers as global ambassadors for women's rights. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of US imperialism, illuminating how colonial ideologies of race, gender, and sexuality have resurfaced and are evolving in contemporary times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its insightful exploration, At War with Women sheds light on the complex dynamics between gender, development, and military power, offering a timely and thought-provoking perspective on the evolving geopolitical landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 434g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 829 x 271 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781501767746\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Greenburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095740969210,"sku":"9781501767746","price":21.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1677234427212_book.jpg?v=1677253141","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/at-war-with-women-military-humanitarianism-and-imperial-feminism-in-an-era-of-permanent-war-9781501767746","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
