An extraordinarily powerful work in two domains: feminism, and Jewish studies (though to a large extent these are dealt with separately, as the book is primarily a series of essays). Kaye/Kantrowitz is part of a robust tradition of Jewish lesbian feminists who were active in the 1980s and 1990s, and on antisemitism in particular her account of how prevailing paradigms of oppression to not adequately encompass the Jewish case -- failing to reckon with how *power* (perceived and actual) intersects with antisemitic domination -- remains unrivaled decades later. But her discussion of violence in women's spaces -- both in negative cases (i.e., domestic violence among lesbian couples) and positive cases (the use of violence against abusive men) also remains bracing. An underrated classic. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"The issue is power in this collection of essays, speeches, and reviews spanning 15 years of writing and organizing. Political activist and writer Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz brings an insightful eye and a sharp analytical mind to address a wide range of issues in contemporary America: race, class, anti-Semitism, lesbian culture, war, sexual power, identity politics, Israel, Palestine and the Middle East, international and domestic violence against and by women. Kaye/Kantrowitz is indomitable in the fight against being worn down, hushed up. Her work reminds us of the strength in community."--Jacket. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
