Binding: Paperback
Description: Resistance to Empire and Militarization gathers critically reflective articles by 25 leading and emerging scholars/practitioners from religious and non - religious backgrounds representing three generations of survivors of imperial invasions and genocidal massacres across the globe. The authors interrogate and expose the oppressive religious and secular ideologies and mechanisms of the modern empire and its allies that cause desecration of lives and the earth through various means ranging from psychological operations to the brute force of advanced technological warfare. Offering perspectives from the Middle East East Asia South Asia Africa Latin America and the Pacific and the Caribbean Islands the authors address topics such as mass killings starvation rape militarized prostitution torture forced disappearances land grab displacement and the destruction of nature while articulating people's inherent collective aspiration for liberation that is expressed in multiple languages of faith as well as in secular humanist strands. They help evoke and sharpen the alternate consciousness among peoples in furthering resistance and in envisioning and building a non - imperialist future for us for our children and for our planet. These are testimonies of truth and liberation written with a prophetic urgency.
