- Description
- This book reconsiders a reliance on the criminal justice system for solving women’s struggles with domestic violence: acknowledge how militarism subjects women to extreme levels of violence perpetrated from within, and without, their communities: recognize how the medical establishment inflicts violence—such as involuntary sterilization and inadequate health care—on women of color: devise new strategies for cross-cultural dialogue, theorizing and alliance building. .INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence was born in 2000, when more than two thousand activists from diverse communities came together to end the war being waged on women of color in the US and around the world. Now the largest multiracial, grassroots, feminist organization in the United States, INCITE! boasts chapters in more than 20 cities.

- Description
- This collection explores the social construction of gender, war-making and peacekeeping. It highlights the institutions and processes involved in the making of gender in terms of both men and women, masculinity and femininity. The 'war question for feminism' marks a thematic red thread throughout: it is a call to students and scholars of feminism to take seriously and engage with the task of analyzing war. Contributors analyze how war-making is intertwined with the making of gender in a diversity of empirical case studies, organized around four themes: gender, violence and militarism: how the making of gender is connected to a (re)making of the nation through military practices: UN SCR 1325 and gender mainstreaming in institutional practices: and gender subjectivities in the organization of violence, exploring the notion of violent women and non-violent men.

- Description
- This book analyses the impact of occupation on men and women, both occupied and occupier, in a variety of geographical spaces from Japan to Palestine to Iraq. Gendered perspectives are also intimately tied to analyses of ‘power’: how power is enacted by the occupier: how powerlessness is experienced by the occupied: how power is negotiated, shared, compromised, subverted, reclaimed: power as visible and invisible: institutional power: contested power in post-conflict societies: and power as discursively constructed. The term ‘military occupation’ is interpreted broadly to include occupation, interventions, the presence of military bases and peacekeeping/post-conflict operations.

- Description
- Žarkov analyzes representations of female and male bodies in the Croatian and Serbian press in the late 1980s and in the early 1990s, during the war. She argues that the Balkan war was not a war between ethnic groups, but that ethnicity was produced by the war itself. She argues that both the representational practices of the 'media war' and those of the 'ethnic war' depended on specific notions of femininity and masculinity, (hetero)sexuality and ethnicity.

Included topics are: the implications of an imperial nation/state laying claim to women's liberation: the relation between this claim and resulting American foreign policy and military action: American intervention and invasion and the liberation for women in Afghanistan and Iraq: the multiple concepts that are embedded in the phrase 'women¹s liberation': the ways in which the are connected to religion, culture, history, economics, and nation within current conflicts: the relation between the lives of Afghan and Iraqi women before and after invasion, and that of women living in the US: ways in which women who define themselves as feminists resist or acquiesce to this nation/state claim in current theory and organizing.

- Description
- Collection of articles from young feminists on gendered violence in conflict-affected regions. DAWN (Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era) initiated the research project “Political Economy of Conflict and Violence against Women” in order to improve advocacy and scholarship on gender-based violence in political economies of conflict. Through case studies of both conflict and post-conflict zones in Mozambique, Palestine, South Africa, and Liberia, the book provides perspectives on how violence against women is embedded in local political economies of war, conflict and transition. The case studies build on DAWN’s book The Political Economy of Conflict and Violence against Women: Cases from the South (2019), addressing violence against women in conflict zones across the global South.
