The collection focuses on Palestine, Kashmir, Syria, Kurdistan, Congo, Argentina, Central America, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. 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 erase women's role in shaping resistance movements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe transformative mode of these examples expands the definition of heroism and defiance. To prevent these types of heroism from slipping into the abyss of history, this collection brings forth and celebrates women's fortitude in conflict zones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Crossfire of History shines a light on women across the globe who are resisting the sociopolitical and economic injustices in their nation-states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781978830219\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farzana Akhter,Lava Asaad,Margaret Hageman,Nyla Khan,Shafinur Nahar,Doaa Omran,Carolyn Ownbey,Moumin Quazi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096600801530,"sku":"9781978830219","price":22.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665153775725_book.jpg?v=1665238224","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/in-the-crossfire-of-history-womens-war-resistance-discourse-in-the-global-south-9781978830219","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
