Illuminating the unique experiences of women both during and after
genocide, JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz and Donna Gosbee's edited collection
is a vital addition to genocide scholarship. The contributors
revisit genocides of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from
Armenia in 1915 to Gujarat in 2002, examining the roles of women as
victims, witnesses, survivors, and rescuers. The text underscores
women's experiences as a central yet often overlooked component to
the understanding of genocide. Drawing from narratives, memoirs,
testimonies, and literature, this ground-breaking volume brings
together women's stories of victimization, trauma, and survival.
Each chapter is framed by a consistent methodology to allow for a
comparative analysis, revealing the ways in which women's
experiences across genocides are similar and yet profoundly
different. By looking at genocide from a gendered perspective,
Women and Genocide constitutes an important contribution to
feminist research on war and political violence. Featuring critical
thinking questions and concise histories of each genocidal period
discussed, this highly accessible text is an ideal resource for
both students and instructors in this field and for anyone
interested in the study of women's lives in times of violence and
conflict.
