Compellingly calling on feminists to recognize the Faustian bargain they have struck by perpetuating these dominant approaches, the book brings to the fore lives and experiences that have often been relegated to the margins of global feminist attention, even as they are at the center of multiple forms of quotidian global and state violence.” -- Karen Engle, author of * author of The Grip of Sexual Violence in Conflict: Feminist Interventions in International Law *\u003cbr\u003e“Those committed to an anti-Muslim agenda appoint themselves as modern, humanitarian, democratic, and feminist, a status achieved against a Third World constituted as premodern, illiberal, Muslim, and uniquely given to gender-based violence. It is a major contribution of this book to show how global racial governance is achieved through the idea of gender-based violence as a defining feature of Third World cultures and communities.” -- Sherene H.
