Summary:

"In The End of Peacekeeping, Marsha Henry returns to feminist, postcolonial and anti-militarist frameworks to expose peacekeeping as an epistemic power project in need of abolition. Drawing on critical concepts from Black feminist thought, and from postcolonial and critical race theories, Henry shows how contemporary peacekeeping produces gender and racial inequalities through increasingly militarized strategies"-- Provided by publisher.
