The first book to examine how Iraqi women have fared since the invasion, What Kind of Liberation? reports from the heart of the war zone with dire news of scarce resources, growing unemployment, violence, and seclusion. Moreover, the book exposes the gap between rhetoric that placed women center stage and the present reality of their diminishing roles in the "new Iraq." Based on interviews with Iraqi women's rights activists, international policy makers, and NGO workers and illustrated with photographs taken by Iraqi women, What Kind of Liberation? speaks through an astonishing array of voices. Nadje Al-Ali and Nicola Pratt correct the widespread view that the country's violence, sectarianism, and systematic erosion of women's rights come from something inherent in Muslim, Middle Eastern, or Iraqi culture. They also demonstrate how in spite of competing political agendas, Iraqi women activists are resolutely pressing to be part of the political transition, reconstruction, and shaping of the new Iraq. 606 $aWomen$zIraq$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen's rights$zIraq 606 $aWomen in politics$zIraq 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xWomen 610 $a21st century american history. 610 $a21st century iraqi history. 610 $aactivism. 610 $abush administration. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $agrowing unemployment. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $ainternational policy. 610 $airaq. 610 $airaqi women activists. 610 $airaqi women. 610 $aislam. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amiddle eastern politics. 610 $amuslim. 610 $anew iraq. 610 $ango workers. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apresident bush. 610 $apresident george w bush. 610 $ascarce resources. 610 $aseclusion. 610 $asectarianism. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $aviolence. 610 $awar and gender. 610 $awar in iraq. 610 $awar zone. 610 $awarfare. 610 $awomens rights activists. 610 $awomens rights. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen's rights 615 0$aWomen in politics 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xWomen. 676 $a305.48/8927567090511 686 $aMK 3100$2rvk 700 $aAl-Ali$b Nadje Sadig$0673337 701 $aPratt$b Nicola Christine$01535295 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789000303321 996 $aWhat kind of liberation$93783419 997 $aUNINA
