A global discourse regarding gender and violence is emerging as
feminists, media experts, and social scientists consider the place
of gender in episodic acts and chronic conditions of violence. The
chapters in this two-part volume offer understandings of the
relationship between violence and gender from the global to the
domestic level. In Part B, authors trace the history of feminist
antiviolence efforts, theorize the reproduction of symbolic gender
violence, and show how violence might be re-conceptualized in
comparative and intersectional perspective. They show how
historical, cultural and religious elements contribute to or
complicate violence, how development efforts can backfire, and how
actions and techniques applied by governments and NGOs can reduce
or exacerbate violence. Substantive topics addressed are as varied
as masculinity in U.S. prisons, child abuse in Israel, neo-Nazism
in Germany and religious nationalism in India. Much of the research
was done on the ground through participant observation, interaction
in affected communities and interviews with change agents directly
involved. Each of the chapters has theoretical as well as policy or
social implications.
