This Element theorizes the emergence of the girl as the subject of Western imperialist power. In 1983, Gayatri Spivak denounced imperialism as a practice of 'white men saving brown women from brown men.' During the global war on terrorism, the development and military establishment shifted its practices and rhetoric in response to her critique.
