Recenzje

In this richly documented and beautifully written book, Falguni Sheth, professor of philosophy at Emory University, shows how the intertwining of neoliberalism and neocolonialism-that specific type of exercise and justification of political power that characterizes the contemporary United States-produces a particular form of racism directed at Muslim women.
