Description

Women across the world have spoken out against terrorism, militarism and violence of all kinds. This anthology, ranging over the last decade, is a powerful statement against all terrorism, as well as any counter-terrorism that uses the same violence to deal with it.

Terror is a matter of fact, Globally.

Long before the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, large parts of the world had lived with and resisted terrorism that often masqueraded as liberation struggles: Sri Lank, Bosnia, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Algeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Palestine / Israel.

As an unacceptable strategy for resolving differences and conflict. As women, they have spoken from an experience of all three that is both personal and political, and have analysed the links between aggressive masculinity, fundamentalism, war, global capitalism, politicized religion and ethnic nationalism.
