The author finds that aid flows and geopolitics have served as both opportunities and obstacles to feminist politics in Afghanistan. Showing why Afghan activists often chose to use the leverage of Western powers instead of entering into either protracted negotiations with powerful national actors or broad political mobilization, the book examines both the achievements and the limits of this strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Torunn Wimpelmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520293193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520293199\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 05\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Torunn Wimpelmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056222597375,"sku":"9780520293199","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09d4cbc5-0418-4a70-bbbb-2776a33273ec.jpg?v=1685040174","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pitfalls-of-protection-torunn-wimpelmann-9780520293199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
