Shame, Gender Violence and Ethics: Terrors of Injustice draws from
contemporary, concrete atrocities against women and marginalized
communties to re-conceptualize moral shame and to set moral shame
apart from dimensions of subordination, humiliation, and disgrace.
The inter-disciplinary collection starts with a contribution from a
a Yazidi-survivor of genocidal and sexual violence, whose case
brings together core themes: gender, ethnic and religious identity,
and violence and shame. Further accounts of shame and gendered
violence in this collection take the reader to other and equally
disturbing accounts of lesser- known atrocities from around the.
Although shame is sometimes posited as an innevitable companion to
human life, editors Lenart Skof and She M. Hawke situate the
discussion in the theoretical landscape of shame, and the
contributors challenge this concept through fields as diverse as
law, journalism, activism, philosophy, theology, ecofeminism, and
gender and cultural studies. Their discussion of gendered shame
makes room for it to be both a negative and a redemptive concept.
Combining junior and senior scholarship, this collection examines
power relations in the cycle of shame and violence.
Our world as it once was In August 2014, Farida was, like any
ordinary teenager, enjoying the last days of summer before her
final year at school. However, her peaceful mountain village in
northern Iraq was an ISIS target as their genocide against the
Yazidi people began. The catastrophe ISIS murdered the men and boys
in the village, including Farida's father and brother, and took the
women hostage. Farida was one of them. She was held in a slave
camp, in the homes of ISIS members and finally in a desert training
camp. Continually she struggled, resisted and fought against her
captors, showing unimaginable strength and bravery. This is my
story Eventually, Farida managed to plot her escape and fled into
the desert with five young girls in her care, but defeating ISIS
was just the first step in her journey. In this book she tells her
remarkable and inspiring story.
