Author Description

Urgency of material vis-a-vis world events (the issue will include several articles about recent or ongoing conflicts - Iraq, Iran and the war on terror). The authors will include activists (Salma Yacoob, Elaine Hefferman, Lindsey German), well-known authors (Jean Said Makdisi, Lynne Segal, Spike Peterson etc.) and rising young stars (Nadje al-Ali, Nicola Pratt, Roxanne Varzi, Nayanika Mukherjee). The issue will have a coherence and relevance that will make it useful as an edited volume for teaching purposes. The series - Feminist Review - is the UK's leading brand in 'serious' feminist publishing.War is a coherent collection of essays and articles, which speak urgently and eloquently to one of the most persistently vexing themes of human history: war. By viewing large scale collective war and violence through the prism of gender, the issue aims to contribute to the larger debate in a variety of disciplines.
