REQUIRED READING ON IRAQ
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Iraqi journalist and activist Haifa Zangana writes boldly about the current conditions of her homeland. The first account about occupied Iraq by an Iraqi woman, CITY OF WIDOWS provides a poignant and thorough outline to understanding the nation's intricate ethnic and political situation. Zangana's strongest arguments are those against the neo-colonial, Western "feminist" NGOs who have accompanied the US-led occupation. Groundbreaking, innovative and truthful, this book is not to be missed.
