Through the analysis of Emer Martin’s novel Baby Zero (2007), Chapter 12 explores how transnational feminist politics are an appropriate tool to resist and dismantle those dichotomies derived from what Samuel P. Huntington identifies as a ‘civilizational clash’, and a reading of the world which turns women and their bodies into its battleground. This analysis emphasizes the possibilities of approaching the veil trope offered by transnational feminism which undermine not only Eastern veils’ tokenistic and fixed meanings in hegemonic ‘veil narratives’, but also their correlated image of uncovered—equated to liberated—women in the West. |
