Misunderstandings arise not only from the difficulty of accessing the country’s many layers of meaning but also from a tendency on our part, as journalists, to simplify and misrepresent. These simplifications help build narratives that justify foreign wars and occupations, often carried out in the name of spreading democratic values and defending women’s rights.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56274625266038,"sku":"9781805980025","price":43.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36350368_7ed263d8-2760-499e-9d9a-92d5befb10c1.jpg?v=1759430149","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781805980025-it-can-never-be-the-same","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
