- Description
- Gender-based violence affects every society in the world, and represents a significant impediment to development. Anyone can be a victim of violence on the grounds of their gender identity, but it is predominantly women and girls whose lives are limited by its effects. This volume explores the wide variety of forms that gender-based violence can take, including violence that occurs within marriage, during fuel collection and forced evictions, and at school, and the impact that this violence can have on the capacity of victims to support themselves and enjoy their full rights as human beings. The authors also present examples of successful policy, ranging from lobbying for better legal and police protection for victims, to working with men and boys to combat the underlying gender stereotypes and expectations which legitimize gender-based violence against women.

- Description
- In this volume ten critics look at nonnormative sexualities in the study of American historical discourse. The contributors look at the intersection of rhetoric, history, and sexuality as they interrogate historically situated discursive performances, politics, and meanings of the 'good queer speaking well.' Enacting both political and radical visions, these scholars articulate the promises of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender public address and the critiques that work to deepen their fulfillment. Articles in this book are about the queer historical/rhetorical critic, nonnormative perspectives various principles, methods, and theories that have explicitly or implicitly directed the practice and judgment of rhetorical-historical analysis, specific historical subjects, voices, styles, and performances by means of various discourses that intersected in relation to ideologies, issues, and events constituting queerness over time. The contributors consider figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Harvey Milk, Marlon Riggs, and Lorraine Hansberry and issues as diverse as collective identity, nineteenth-century semiotics of gender and sexuality, the sexual politics of the Harlem Renaissance, psychiatric productions of the queer, and violence-induced traumatic styles.
