Afghanistan: White Feminism and Geopolitics w/ Rafia Zakaria and Michael Klare Security in Context

In this episode, we investigate the implications of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan from different angles with the help of our guests. Rafia Zakaria tells us about her new book, Against White Feminism, and how it ties into Western media coverage of Afghan women. We also speak to Professor Michael Klare, defense correspondent at The Nation magazine, about his take on the US withdrawal from Afghanistan; a very different one to those being portrayed in mainstream media. The episode ends with our September media roundup, a brief section in which we discuss news articles, reports, and other materials focusing on (in)security issues.
