The Cunning of Gender Violence focuses on how a once visionary
feminist project has folded itself into contemporary world affairs.
Combating violence against women and gender-based violence
constitutes a highly visible and powerful agenda enshrined in
international governance and law and embedded in state violence and
global securitization. Case studies on Palestine, Bangladesh, Iran,
India, Pakistan, Israel, and Turkey as well as on UN and US
policies trace the silences and omissions, along with the
experiences of those subjected to violence, to question the
rhetoric that claims the agenda as a “feminist success story.”
Because religion and racialized ethnicity, particularly “the
Muslim question,” run so deeply through the institutional
structures of the agenda, the contributions explore ways it may be
affirming or enabling rationales and systems of power, including
civilizational hierarchies, that harm the very people it seeks to
protect. Contributors. Lila Abu-Lughod, Nina Berman, Inderpal
Grewal, Rema Hammami, Janet R. Jakobsen, Shenila Khoja-Moolji,
Vasuki Nesiah, Samira Shackle, Sima Shakhsari, Nadera
Shalhoub-Kevorkian, Dina M Siddiqi, Shahla Talebi, Leti Volpp,
