In Legacies of War Kimberly Theidon examines the lives of children
born of wartime rape and the experiences of their mothers and
communities to offer a gendered theory of harm and repair. Drawing
on ethnographic research in postconflict Peru and Colombia, Theidon
considers the multiple environments in which conception, pregnancy,
and childbirth unfold. She reimagines harm by taking into account
the impact of violence on individual people as well as on
more-than-human lives, bodies, and ecologies, showing how wartime
violence reveals the interdependency of all life. She also
critiques policy makers, governments, and humanitarian
organizations for their efforts at postconflict justice, which
frequently take an anthropocentric rights-based approach that is
steeped in liberal legalism. Rethinking the intergenerational reach
of war while questioning what counts as sexual and reproductive
violence, Theidon calls for an explicitly feminist peace-building
and postconflict agenda that includes a full range of sexual and
reproductive rights, including access to safe and affordable
abortions.
