Women, Wars and Public Policies
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-62386-9 (ISBN)
Women, Wars and Public Policies shatters the boundaries of conventional antiracism, offering an examination of white supremacy’s persistence through the lens of humanity’s most pressing challenges. The author tackles migration, war, national security, terrorism, nationalism, and patriarchy, exposing institutionalized oppressions across continents and centuries. Defying identity politics, this book demonstrates the pervasiveness of Western culture and the need to radically address dominant narratives.
The author presents three interrelated case studies. They are Eleanor Roosevelt’s advocacy for Japanese Americans and African Americans; connections between Roosevelt’s politics and those of U.S. President Donald Trump including how Trump weaponized masculinity, laying the groundwork for decimating refugee and asylum policies; and Germany’s culture of remembrance and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s approach to the so‑called migrant crisis.
Transcending racial, national, and disciplinary boundaries with an intersectional framework, Women, Wars and Public Policies exposes parallels between historical injustices and contemporary actions, forcing a re‑examination of national narratives and institutionalized multiculturalism. As migration debates and white supremacy continue to drive politics, this work provides globally significant insights into gender and race, demanding that we confront our shared histories and futures.
