Nadine Naber: an Arab feminist reading

Professor Naber offers an Arab feminist reading of the suicide bomber, Wafa Idris, and in general a feminist, class-based analysis of the crisis in Palestine. Here's an excerpt from her article, quoted in brownfemipower's blog.
Thanks BFP!!

"What is missing in much of progressive activism in the U.S. is a critique of colonialism that links the Palestinian struggle to other indigenous struggles and all struggles against imperialism. Where then, do radical feminists of color, with our focus on intersections of race, class, gender, sexism, homophobia, colonialism and imperialism locate Wafa Idris? Will we explore the impact of colonization on Wafa’s family? Palestinian families? Palestinian communities? increases in domestic violence? shifts in women’s labor? Will we take interest in Palestinian feminists’ analysis of women’s resistance?"
