"Insightfully and lucidly maps the gendered contours of militarized
conflict, from war zones to refugee camps, and across continents as
diverse as Africa, South Asia, Central America and Europe. This
exciting book provides a variety of incisive feminist critiques of
ethnic-nationalism, disputes over oil rights, and discourses about
religious fundamentalism. This work not only explores and
interrogates conflict, but also seeks to provide a feminist
framework for moving beyond the violence of war."--Kumari
Jayawardena, author of "Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World
"Offers a broad range of essays on gender, identity and
conflict. What makes this collection exceptional is its critical
stance, which draws from political geography as well as scholarship
on feminisms, nationalisms and identities. The resulting analysis
is both original and provocative. Moreover, the breadth and
currency of its coverage renders the collection particularly useful
for students and scholars alike."--Julie Mertus, author of "Kosovo:
How Myths and Truths Started a War
"An important contribution to one of the most significant new
fields in both women's studies and international politics--the
study of post-conflict societies. Giles and Hyndman have brought
together gritty, subtle case studies from Iraq, Sudan, Sri Lanka,
Guatemala, and the former Yugoslavia to pose edgy questions about
what subverts genuine national reconstruction and what thwarts real
demilitarization. Anyone interested in international feminist
organizing, nationalism, democratization, and the workings of
modernized patriarchy will want to read this book cover to
cover."--Cynthia Enloe, author of "Maneuvers: The International
Politicsof Militarizing Women's Lives
