Description

Feminist Praxis against U.S. Militarism provides critical feminist and womanist analyses of U.S. militarism that challenge the ongoing U.S. neoliberal military-industrial complex and its multivalent violence that destroys peopleâ€™s lives, especially women and other vulnerable populations.

It highlights the intentional critique of U.S. militarism from feminist/womanist perspectives that seek to show the ways in which gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and violence intersect to threaten womenâ€™s lives, especially women of colorâ€™s lives, and the broader environment upon which womenâ€™s lives are dependent.

Most of all, this volume challenges the readers to understand the U.S. as the warfare, counterterror, carceral state and its devastating effects on the everyday lives of women, especially women of color, locally, nationally, and globally.

This volume also helps readers understand the racialized gendered impacts of U.S. militarism in conjunction with the ongoing global economies of dispossession and militarized violence across the borders of nation-states.

Interrogating U.S. military interventions in â€œotherâ€ countries can show how the U.S.

War on Terror directly affects U.S. â€œdomesticâ€ affairs and daily lives in the United States.
