Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Zillah Eisenstein grew up against the background of the civil rights movement in the USA. The daughter of communist, atheist, Jewish parents, her worldview has been shaped by this unusual background of politics. She writes: I have never known God as an explanation for what people do, or for what happens to them. I was brought up to believe in people: that people make the world through their struggle and pain. Her questioning attitude results in a book that is thoughtful, sometimes complex, but never complacent. She asks why it is that Bush can speak of good and evil in biblical terms, see no moral ambiguity in dropping bombs on Iraq, and yet be regarded as the leader of a secular state, while on the other hand Islamic leaders are defined as religious fanatics. A trenchant critique of globalization and US unilateralism in which Esienstein devlops an anti-racist polyversal feminism. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781876756536
