Violence and Gender in the Globalized World expands the critical
picture of gender and violence in the age of globalization by
introducing a variety of uncommonly discussed geo-political sites
and dynamics. The volume hosts methodologically and disciplinarily
diverse contributions from around the world, discussing various
contexts including Chechnya, Germany, Iraq, Kenya, Malaysia,
Nicaragua, Palestine, the former Yugoslavia, Syria, South Africa,
the United States, and the Internet. Bringing together scholars'
and activists' historicized and site-specific perspectives, this
book bridges the gap between theory and practice concerning
violence, gender, and agency. In this revised and updated edition,
the scope of inquiry is expanded to incorporate phenomena that have
recently come to the forefront of public and scholarly scrutiny,
such as Internet-based discourses of violence, female suicide
bombers, and the Islamic State's violence against women. At the
same time, new data and developments are brought to bear on earlier
discussions of violence against women across the globe in order to
bring them fully up to date. With an international team of
contributors, comprising eminent scholars, activists and
policy-makers, this volume will be of interest to anyone conducting
research in the areas of gender and sexuality, human rights,
cultural studies, law, sociology, political science, history,
post-colonialism and colonialism, anthropology, philosophy and
religion.
