Resisting authoritarianism and war: An Iranian left feminist perspective

Abstract Neda Naji, a feminist activist, researcher and former political prisoner in Iran, talks with scholar and activist Manijeh Moradian about leftist forms of Iranian feminism that are rarely heard in the western media. Naji discusses the intersections of authoritarianism and war, the challenges of organizing under extreme state repression, and the quotidian yet theoretically sophisticated ways that feminists have tried to oppose domestic and imperial forms of structural violence.
