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.
