{"product_id":"city-of-widows-haifa-zangana-9781583228609","title":"City of Widows: An Iraqi Woman's Account of War and Resistance","description":"In City of Widows, Haifa Zangana tells the story of her country, from the early twentieth century through the US-UK invasion and the current occupation. She brings to light a sense of Iraq as a society mainly of secularists who have been denied, through years of sanctions, war, and occupation, a system\u003cbr\u003ewithin which to build the country according to their own values. She points to the long history of political activism and social participation of Iraqi women, and the fact that, before the recent invasion, they had been among the most liberated of their gender in the Middle East. Finally, she writes about\u003cbr\u003eBaghdad today as a city populated by bereaved women and children who have lost their loved ones and their land, but who are still emboldened by the native right to resist and liberate themselves to create an independent Iraq.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Haifa Zangana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583228608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583228609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 48","brand":"Haifa Zangana","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526673060095,"sku":"9781583228609","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d9b9f7b-5c4c-413f-bba8-c68f872dc7f6.jpg?v=1737556838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/city-of-widows-haifa-zangana-9781583228609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
