{"product_id":"against-empire-zillah-eisenstein-9781842773956","title":"Against Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Against Empire, Zillah Eisenstein extends her critique of neoliberal globalization and its capture of democratic possibilities. Faced with an aggressive American empire hostage to ideological extremism and violently promoting the narrowest of its interests around the globe, Eisenstein urgently looks to a global anti-war movement to counter U.S. power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLooking beyond the distortions of mainstream history, Eisenstein detects the silencing of racialized, sex\/gendered and classed ways of seeing. Against Empire insists that 'the' so-called West is as much fiction as reality, while the sexualized black slave trade emerges as an early form of globalization. 'The' West and western feminisms do not monopolize authorship; there is a need for plural understandings of feminisms as other-than-western. Black America, India, the Islamic world and Africa envision unique conceptions of what it is to be fully, 'polyversally', human. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProfessor Eisenstein offers a rich picture of women's activism across the globe today. If there is to be hope of a more peaceful, more just and happier world, it lies, she believes, in the understandings and activism of women today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zillah Eisenstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184277395X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842773956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 5.03w x 0.57d","brand":"Zillah Eisenstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254994563327,"sku":"9781842773956","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5f2bcd2-4ec9-4767-9287-fdc21f9e9d09.jpg?v=1694615507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-empire-zillah-eisenstein-9781842773956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
