The Dynamics of Epistemic Injustice
richly textured philosophical study * Susan James, Times Higher Education *
What does gender do in the life of a nation? In this splendidly written and passionately engaged book, Mann traces out how sovereign masculinity, committed to a vision of itself as invulnerable and self justifying, has created a framework to conduct a war that on moral and rational grounds is against the best interests of the soldiers who fight the war, the citizens who support the war, and to democratic institutions and practices themselvesRanging over discussions from Simone de Beauvoir and phenomenology to the political and cultural representations of war and torture, Mann probes how gender operates both in the innermost space of its citizens and in the aspirations of national manhood. A fresh and critical feminist engagement with the gendered lessons of the war on terror, Sovereign Masculinity deserves a wide readership. * Robin May Schott, Senior Researcher, Danish Institute for International Studies *
This book is a must read for those who want to understand the complexity and nuance of sovereign masculinityThere is a lot of heart in this book, and I am a little envious of the way in which Mann mixes the scholarly with her passionate activism. It is just the kind of book that is sorely needed in a badly broken world. Mann has left me with a whole host of questions, as well as provided me with invaluable points of critical clarification, inspiration, and, definitely, a gender lesson. * Amanullah De Sondy, Journal of the Society for Contemporary Thought and the Islamicate World *
Mann's insightful contributions welcome updating of the analyses of gender and gendering processes, gendered politics, and gendered violence. * Bat-Ami Bar On, Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy *
