Sommario/riassunto

A collection of multiple perspectives on the "war on terror" and the new imperialism. Looking at the imperialism and the "war on terror" through a lens focused on gender and race, the contributors expose the limitations of the current popular discourse and help to uncover possibilities not yet apparent in that same discourse.
