Praise for Security Disarmed
"One of the most important and exciting books among the
recent flurry of feminist collections that elucidates the inextricable
links among militarism, war, economic globalization, and neoliberalism
and gender."
- Margo Okazawa-Rey, Fielding Graduate University
Description:
From the history
of state terrorism in Latin America, to state- and group-perpetrated
plunder and genocide in Africa, to war and armed conflicts in the
Middle East, militarization-the heightened role of organized aggression
in society-continues to painfully shape the lives of millions of people
around the world.
In Security Disarmed, scholars, policy planners, and activists
come together to think critically about the human cost of violence and
viable alternatives to armed conflict. Arranged in four
parts-alternative paradigms of security, cross-national militarization,
militarism in the United States, and pedagogical and cultural
concerns-the book critically challenges militarization and voices an
alternative encompassing vision of human security by analyzing the
relationships among gender, race, and militarization. This collection
of essays evaluates and resists the worldwide crisis of
militarization-including but going beyond American military engagements
in the twenty-first century.
