Gada Mahrouse contends that this brand of activism is a compelling site of racialized power relations and is highly instructive for a nuanced understanding of systems of race. Mahrouse argues that the individuals who partake in this form of activism consciously deploy their white, western privilege to offer support and protection to those facing threats of violence. Moreover, given that this type of activism asserts itself as an exemplary form of anti-racist commitment, it illustrates that well-meaning practices can inadvertently reproduce racialized power structures that are embedded in imperial and colonial legacies. Mahrouse focuses on Palestine and Iraq in the post-9/11 era to contemplate the contemporary challenges that these regions pose for solidarity activism. By exploring how individual activists manage and negotiate their dominant positioning in these encounters, Mahrouse reflects more broadly on the ethics of social justice strategies in an increasingly transnational world. A detailed study of the racialized complexities and contradictions inherent in transnational solidarity activism, Conflicted Commitments makes a significant contribution to critical race and feminist studies. 606 $aSolidarity 606 $aHumanitarianism$xPolitical aspects 606 $aSocial justice$xPolitical aspects 606 $aRace$xSocial aspects 606 $aRace relations 606 $aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aSolidarity. 615 0$aHumanitarianism$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aSocial justice$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aRace$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aRace relations. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 676 $a302/.14 686 $aMS 3300$2rvk 700 $aMahrouse$b Gada$01670570 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809500803321 996 $aConflicted commitments$94032499 997 $aUNINA
