- 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
- Presents the history of female combat soldiers in the Soviet army from the 1930’s to 1945 and makes feminist analysis of it. Argues that women who volunteered for the front in 1941 saw the fighting as an expression of a new Soviet womanhood rather than enactment of male roles. Notes that the figure of the female combatant in a mass army invites scholars to consider combat violence as a meaning-carrying social activity and the role it plays in the construction of modern identity.

- 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 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
- This reader is about gender and the developing world. In recent years there has arisen a sophisticated feminist literature on the lives of Third World women, their roles in development and their experiences of conflict. However the lives of Third World men have been ignored or consigned negative and stereotypical gender roles. While it is vital not to overlook men's roles in crime, exploitation, and violence, it is obvious that a more nuanced and empathetic portrait of Third World men remains to be painted. In this anthology are parts about family and sexuality, religion, work, migration and masculinities.

- Description
- This book positions the female fighter as a kind of mirror to contemporary conversations on gender, violence and power. Though the female fighter is often seen as an abnormality and women were often viewed as victims or weak-willed wives, women make up nearly 30% of militant movements worldwide. The book consists of narratives of female fighters from Sri Lanka, Eritrea, Pakistan, and Colombia. Through these conversations, the author adapts her assumptions about the position of these women in relation to power. Erasing the female fighter from narratives on gender and power is both dangerous and anti-feminist, she argues. She advocates a more nuanced understanding of women who choose violence.
