Accordingly, we trace the historical trajectory through which whiteness has been introduced into and became paradigmatic of specific post-Yugoslav Serbian feminist activism and theories. In line with Savić’s critique of the feminist politics in Serbia, we identify two types of gadji (non-Roma European) feminism(s): gadji saviorism and gadji performative solidarity . In the first section we outline the notion of gadji saviorism as an optics perceiving Roma women as victims of the purportedly backward Romani way of life and the supposed inherent poverty from which Roma women need to be “saved” or “uplifted” by the enlightened Eurocentric culture(s). We point both to similarities and differences between colonial-state antiziganist subjugation of Roma women and children in the Austro-Hungarian empire/kingdom and the contemporary Serbian feminist “savior politics” aligned with transnational European and national Serbian policies. In the second section, we look at the (post)socialist genealogies behind the concept which Savić identified as white feminist “performative solidarity” and its race-blind approach to both feminism and solidarity based on its (self)conflation with the ideology of “sisterhood and unity”. Our research shows how these ideas nested in the Serbian feminist scene following the fall of socialism and the end of Cold War.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136002969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literary fiction and nonfiction by US women writers who address the war on terror and focus on women serving in the military have problematized this paradigm. Given the high number of women who joined the US military to serve in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, texts such as Love my Rifle More Than You: Young and Female in the U.S. Army by Kayla Williams (2006), Flashes of War by Katey Schultz (2013), Shade It Black: Death and After in Iraq by Jessica Goodell (2013), and Sand Queen by Helen Benedict (2011) highlight the challenges the US female soldier encounters not only on the battlefield, but also in being accepted by her male peers because she is a woman performing a masculine job. Benedict’s Sand Queen adds a twist to this still emerging literary tradition by portraying the sexually harassed US female soldier Kate Brady concurrent with the Iraqi viewpoint of the civilian, a Muslim woman named Naema al-Jubur. In this essay, I propose an archipelagic theoretical framework to examine the war on terror as it is portrayed from the perspective of the sexually harassed US female soldier and the civilian Iraqi woman, while paying close attention to the main setting of the story, Camp De Bucca. I examine the characters of Kate and Naema in light of Julia Kristeva’s feminist theory of the “abject” and Giorgio Agamben’s analysis of political violence, specifically his definition of the “sovereign sphere.”","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"1 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42634359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project emerged from an attempt to create a platform for women who were willing to share their stories, particularly those who experienced marginalization related not only to their gender, but also in relation to other identities. The goal of the project was to complicate notions of gender by sharing lived experiences and taking up space in a world that typically pushes gender and racial minorities to the margins. Here the contributors, a director, producer, editors, and workshop facilitator, and reflect on the centrality of narrative in storying the self, the workshops intended to create community. We place contributions by Rae Luebber, Samme James, Sandra Del Rio Madrigal, Olivia Acosta, and Hollee McGinnis, into a larger context, submissions that were performed as part of the Utah Women’s Narrative project that included the voices of thirteen authors and ten actors. Bookending this submission are the vignettes capturing the voices of the individual authors and a poem by Debetta, by way of reflecting on the need to break the silence of how our gendered lives must be storied in publics and community. Here we offer an example of how we collaborated to create this community even in a time of global pandemic where we were separated for public health safety.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"117 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46528277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this article examines the phrase ‘what are you’ in relationship to African females residing in three major Asian cities. The article attempts to establish that there is more to the question; “what are you” than meet the eye. This phrase or question (What are you?) is the key finding of this study. In so doing, this article critically examines this finding in connexion to the notion of triple gender discrimination. This is in view of a good number of African women working, studying or residing in some Asian countries. Although, this study provokes more controversy than can be explained, the understanding here, is purely academically motivated. This is based on the fact, gender played an essential role in how the conclusion is shaped and illustrated. The study devoid of any racial categorization as it raised a fundamental question, why are male Africans in many Asian cities, treated differently from their female counterparts?","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"136 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45986606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
