In The Work of Rape Rana M. Jaleel argues that the redefinition of
sexual violence within international law as a war crime, crime
against humanity, and genocide owes a disturbing and unacknowledged
debt to power and knowledge achieved from racial, imperial, and
settler colonial domination. Prioritizing critiques of racial
capitalism from women of color, Indigenous, queer, trans, and
Global South perspectives, Jaleel reorients how violence is
socially defined and distributed through legal definitions of rape.
From Cold War conflicts in Latin America, the 1990s ethnic wars in
Rwanda and Yugoslavia, and the War on Terror to ongoing debates
about sexual assault on college campuses, Jaleel considers how
legal and social iterations of rape and the terms that define
it-consent, force, coercion-are unstable indexes and abstractions
of social difference that mediate racial and colonial
positionalities. Jaleel traces how post-Cold War orders of global
security and governance simultaneously transform the meaning of
sexualized violence, extend US empire, and disavow legacies of
enslavement, Indigenous dispossession, and racialized violence
within the United States. Duke University Press Scholars of Color
