- Description
- This book is an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts - martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. It examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, the book engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike.

- Description
- Coco Fusco offers a look at women's role in the military and at America's use of torture in the War on Terror. The opening essay, 'Invasion of space by a female' takes its title from the term for the authorized military tactic and takes the form of a letter to Virginia Woolf. 'A field guide for female interrogators' guises as a CIA manual. In 'The feminist future' Fusco poses as a visitor from the US Army who, on the occasion of a gathering of preeminent women in the art world, congratulates her peers for their strategic containment of feminism. The book also includes a FBI memo that contains a description of an interrogation involving a female interrogator who made sexual advances as part of her approach to a prisoner.

- Description
- This study of women's violence in global politics looks at military women who engage in torture: at suicide bombers in Chechnia and the Middle East: and at the women who participated in genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda. The authors discuss the biological, psychological and sexualized stereotypes through which these women are conventionally depicted. These stereotypes keep up an idealized notion of femininity, and prevent the perception of women as independent, interdependent, and rational actors in any sphere of life. The book argues that a feminist approach to women's participation, agency and emancipation is the only tool to combat the mother, monster, and whore narratives

- Description
- This book challenges the stereotype that women are inherently peaceable by examining female combatants’ involvement in ethno-national conflicts. Drawing upon case studies of Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland, this study explores the ways in which women have traditionally been depicted. Whereas women have predominantly been seen as victims of conflict, this book acknowledges the reality of women as active combatants. Indeed, female soldiers/irregulars are features of most modern conflicts, and particularly in ethno-nationalist violence – until now largely ignored by mainstream scholarship. Interview material from the author’s fieldwork addresses why some women choose to become violently engaged in nationalist conflicts. It also highlights the personal / political costs and benefits incurred by such women.
