It uses âgendered orientalismâ as a lens through which to read the relationship between the George W. Bush administration, gendered and racialized military intervention, and global politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKhalid argues that legitimacy, power, and authority in global politics, and the âWar on Terrorâ specifically, are discursively constructed through representations that are gendered and racialized, and often orientalist. Looking at the ways in which âofficialâ US âWar on Terrorâ discourse enabled military intervention into Afghanistan and Iraq, the book takes a postcolonial feminist approach to broaden the scope of critical analyses of the âWar on Terrorâ and reflect on the gendered and racial underpinnings of key relations of power within contemporary global politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a unique, innovative and significant analysis of the operation of race, orientalism, and gender in global politics, and the âWar on Terrorâ specifically. It will be of great interest to scholars and graduates interested in gender politics, development, humanitarian intervention, international (global) relations, Middle East politics, security, and US foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
