But there has been little public space for dialogue about the complex relationship between feminism, women, and war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe editors of Feminism and War have brought together a diverse set of leading theorists and activists who examine the questions raised by ongoing American military initiatives, such as: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat are the implications of an imperial nation\/state laying claim to women's liberation?\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the relation between this claim and resulting American foreign policy and military action?\u003cbr\u003eDid American intervention and invasion in fact result in liberation for women in Afghanistan and Iraq?\u003cbr\u003eWhat multiple concepts are embedded in the phrase \"women's liberation\"?\u003cbr\u003eHow are these connected to the specifics of religion, culture, history, economics, and nation within current conflicts?\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the relation between the lives of Afghan and Iraqi women before and after invasion, and that of women living in the US?\u003cbr\u003eHow do women who define themselves as feminists resist or acquiesce to this nation\/state claim in current theory and organizing? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeminism and War reveals and critically analyzes the complicated ways in which America uses gender, race, class, nationalism, imperialism to justify, legitimate, and continue war. Each chapter builds on the next to develop an anti-racist, feminist politics that places imperialist power, and forms of resistance to it, central to its comprehensive analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Riley is Assistant Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Syracuse University.
