This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to chart how various
forms of violence - domestic, military, legal and political - are
not separate instances of violence, but rather embedded in
structural inequalities brought about by colonialism, occupation
and state violence. The book explores both case studies of
individuals and of groups to examine experiences of violence within
the context of gender and structures of power in modern Indonesian
history and Indonesia-related diasporas. It argues that gendered
violence is particularly important to consider in this region
because of its complex history of armed conflict and authoritarian
rule, the diversity of people that have been affected by violence,
as well as the complexity of the religious and cultural communities
involved. The book focuses in particular on textual narratives of
violence, visualisations of violence, commemorations of violence
and the politics of care.
