Insightful feminist work from Ueno, exploring topics such as women in war, citizenship, nationalism, colonialism, capitalism, Okinawa, Fukushima, Grenada, Korea. Especially interesting was her pointed analysis of the two types of state sanctioned violence, relating policing and military in the public domain to domestic abuse in the private domain. The recurring theme of her commentary is the view that feminism isn’t about bringing women to the privileged position that men occupies (where they can exert power or violence towards other underprivileged groups), is instead about creating a society where any underprivileged individual can live with dignity. Her rigor as well as her deep compassion shine through this work, and I have so much respect for her. I wish her body of work could be translated into English soon, as it resonates with and answers questions I encounter in America and Australia.
