Summary:
"Banning the Bomb, Smashing the Patriarchy offers a look inside the antinuclear movement and its recent successful campaign to
ban
the bomb. From scrappy organizing to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in
2017
and achieving a landmark UN
treaty
banning
nuclear
weapons
, this book narrates the journey of the International Campaign to Abolish
Nuclear
Weapons
(ICAN) and developments in feminist disarmament activism. Acheson explains the process through which diplomats, activists, and
nuclear
survivors worked together to elevate the horrific humanitarian and environmental impacts of
nuclear
weapons
, develop new international law categorically prohibiting the bomb, challenge the
nuclear
orthodoxy, and strengthen norms for disarmament and peace. Told from the perspective of a queer feminist antimilitarist organizer who was involved from the start of the process through to the treaty’s adoption, the book utilizes interviews with dozens of participants, as well as critical theoretical perspectives about transnational advocacy networks, discourse change, and intersectional feminist action. It is meant to provide useful insights for anyone trying to make change amidst structures of power and politics."--Publisher.
