Klappentext

The Wounds of Warhighlights the capacity of the literary arts and Arab women's feminist writings to project, critique, and complicate what has happened and what is still happening to women in sites of violation because of war and continuing political instability, unchecked sexual trauma, health politics, and other insecurities. The women's gendered forms of resistance highlight their strength, resilience, and agency. The book stands out for the range of materials it includes from several countries (Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen) and genres (plays, novels, memoirs, poetry, and testimonials).
