- Description
- This book is about social phenomena that admit the structures and ideologies emerging after September 11, 2001. It considers how these structures and ideologies manage and contain specific bodies with respect to race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality and citizenship status. Existing notions of threat combine with 9/11 intonations to shape a specific conception of threat in a context “after” 9/11. Within this context a feminism “after” 9/11 emerges. This contextualized feminism would have to develop its analysis within the frame of a society fundamentally altered by the events of 9/11.
