New Directions for Feminist Research and Politics --References --List of Contributors --IndexIn conflict zones from Iraq and Afghanistan to Guatemala and Somalia, the rules of war are changing dramatically. Distinctions between battlefield and home, soldier and civilian, state security and domestic security are breaking down. In this especially timely book, a powerful group of international authors doing feminist research brings the highly gendered and racialized dimensions of these changes into sharp relief. In essays on nationalism, the political economy of conflict, and the politics of asylum, they investigate what happens when the body, household, nation, state, and economy become sites at which violence is invoked against people. In particular, these hard-hitting essays move us forward in our understanding of violence against women-how it is perpetrated, survived, and resisted. They explore the gendered politics of ethno-nationalism in Sri Lanka, the post-Yugoslav states, and Israel and Palestine. They consider "honor killings" in Iraqi Kurdistan, armed conflict in the Sudan, and geographies of violence in Ghana. This volume augments feminist analysis on conflict zones and contributes to transnational coalition-building and feminist organizing.ViolencePolitical violenceSocial conflictWomenCrimes againstSex roleSex differencesFeminist theoryafghanistan.anthology.armed conflict.conflict zones.economy of conflict.essay collection.ethnographers.feminists.gender roles.gender studies.ghana.guatemala.history of violence.human condition.international perspective.iraq.israel.kurdistan.levels of violence.life and death.nationalism.nonfiction essays.palestine.personal violence.political.racial issues.social history.soldiers.somalia.sri lanka.transnational coalitions.war zones.Violence.Political violence.Social conflict.WomenCrimes against.Sex role.Sex differences.Feminist theory.303.6CV 6800rvkGiles Wenona Mary1949-1484898Hyndman Jennifer767917MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783388103321Sites of violence3703736UNINA
