Femperialism

Dr. Mohja Kahf Itrath Syed
On Monday January 8th, UmmAli spoke with poet and professor Mohja Kahf and Itrath Syed on how feminist language and institutions have been used to further the aims of American imperialism. It was a wonderful discussion that touched on other issues of feminism and representations of Muslim women. Listen here.
