- 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
- 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
