{"product_id":"land-of-the-unconquerable-jennifer-heath-9780520261853","title":"Land of the Unconquerable: The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women","description":"Reaching beyond sensational headlines, \u003ci\u003eLand of the Unconquerable\u003c\/i\u003e at last offers a three-dimensional portrait of Afghan women. In a series of wide-ranging, deeply reflective essays, accomplished scholars, humanitarian workers, politicians, and journalists-most with extended experience inside Afghanistan-examine the realities of life for women in both urban and rural settings. They address topics including food security, sex work, health, marriage, education, poetry, politics, prisoners, and community development. Eschewing stereotypes about the burqa, the contributors focus instead on women's empowerment and agency, and their struggles for peace and justice in the face of a brutal ongoing war. A fuller picture of Afghanistan's women past and present emerges, leading to social policy suggestions and pragmatic solutions for a peaceful future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Heath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520261852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520261853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011","brand":"Jennifer Heath","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064998670591,"sku":"9780520261853","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_896e7076-7a8e-476d-90fb-2e392b62cbc6.jpg?v=1768672461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-of-the-unconquerable-jennifer-heath-9780520261853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
