WOMEN AND THE POLITICS OF MILITARY CONFRONTATION offers a vivid and harrowing picture of the Israeli/Palestinian war as seen through the eyes of Palestinian and Israeli academic and activists feminists. Compelling in its two distinct perspectives, the book focuses on some of the most disturbing effects of the conflict: loss born of social, cultural, national and gender dislocation, as well as alienation from one's own home, family, community, and society.
As this remarkable collection of autobiographical essays makes clear, women's experiences of war differ significantly from those of men. Contents: Introduction: Writing Dislocation, Writing the Self: Bringing Back the Political into Gendered Israeli-Palestinian Dialoguing - Palestinian Women: Exile in Lebanon - Home as Exile - Life under Occupation - Israeli Jewish Women: Exile as Home - Exile as an Oppositional Locus - Existential States of Exile
