• 2013

  The entry examines both the historical Eurocentric gaze and contemporary neo-imperial projects in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) as they intervene in shaping art production

  global consumer economy and the circulation of cultural meaning. In both eras

  artists and consumers

  along with institutions

  have been centrally concerned with women and their bodies; therefore the entry pays particular but not exclusive attention to art about or by women.\nThe entry reviews the critical scholarship about the power\nrelationship between artistic production and consumption

  focusing on West Asian and North African visual representations that emerge and are themselves part and parcel of historical processes linked to the political economy of the contemporary international art markets and the geopolitics of the region as it relates to North America.

  Dena Al-Adeeb \"Reflections in a Time of War: A Letter to My Sisters

  \" Incite! Anthology / Incite! Women of Color Against Violence. (Boston: South End Press

  2006)

  What would it take to end violence against women of color?\nHow does the mainstream antiviolence movement help? How does it hinder?\nWhen will we admit that repositioning women of color at the center of the movement—\nwomen more often harmed by the police

  prisons

  and border patrols than aided by them—\nmeans that we must address state violence?\n\nIn Color of Violence

  INCITE! demands that we\n• reconsider a reliance on the criminal justice system for solving women’s struggles with domestic violence;\n• acknowledge how militarism subjects women to extreme levels of violence perpetrated from within

  and without

  their communities;\n• recognize how the medical establishment inflicts violence—such as involuntary sterilization and inadequate health care—on women of color;\n• devise new strategies for cross-cultural dialogue

  theorizing

  and alliance building;\n• and much

  much more.
