Description
Depicting the Veil: Transnational Sexism and the War on Terror
This powerful analysis exposes how gendered Orientalism is used to justify Western imperialism, revealing how representations of Muslim women in media and popular culture have led to a new form of gender imperialism.
Robin L. Riley examines the intersection of transnational feminism and media studies, exploring how concepts of white masculine supremacy and feminine helplessness are used to support war, and how this has impacted Afghan and Iraqi women in particular.
