Read the Preface
aThis collection provides the most insightful and influential
analyses from the last two decades showing how violence against
women and children is all too-well integrated into global politics
and economics.a
--Sandra Harding, editor of "The Feminist Standpoint Theory
Reader"
"This is an extraordinary interdisciplinary volume. It is
comprehensive both in terms of the subjects that it includes as
well as the type of articles, essays and the range of contributors.
"Gender Violence" makes a very significant contribution to the
literature on violence against women."
--Beth Richie, author of "Compelled to Crime: The Gender Entrapment
of Battered, Black Women"
From the murder of schoolgirls in a rural Amish community to the
widespread rape of women in the Sudan to sexual predators on the
Internet, this volume explores the persistent, pervasive phenomenon
of gendered violence in the United States and around the world.
In the fully revised second edition of this path-breaking
anthology, the editors bring together emerging scholarship from
feminist, post-modern, and queer theory with classic articles and
central authors in the fields of gender, sexuality and violence.
This edition features a new comprehensive introduction, revised
section introductions, and eighteen new selections, including
original articles on sex trafficking, masculinity and terrorism,
and community responses to gender violence. Other topics
represented in this volume include sexual harassment and violence
in schools and workplaces, child abuse, intimate partner violence,
and pornography.
Innovative theoretical and empirical articles written by
scholars fromfields such as law, history, and the social sciences
appear alongside solution-focused pieces developed by activists,
academics, and poets committed to creating a non-violent world.
