- 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
- Militarism is being globalized today, not only because weapons are being traded worldwide, but because certain ideas about 'femininity' and 'masculinity' are being promoted and absorbed globally. Who is presumed to be the 'protector'? Who is taught to be grateful to be the 'protected'? This book considers how women's desires to be patriotic yet feminine and men's fears of being feminized have been exploited to globalize militarism. Through explorations of how governments think so narrowly about 'national security,' of how postwar reconstruction efforts have marginalized women, of how ideas about feminization were used to humiliate male prisoners in Abu Ghraib, and of why 'camo' has become a fashion statement, Cynthia Enloe unravels militarism's both blatant and subtle workings. Focusing her lens on the 'big picture' of international politics and on the small picture of women's and men's complex everyday lives, Enloe challenges us to recognize militarism in all its forms.

- 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
- Aan de hand van interviews met vrouwelijke soldaten en veteranen, beschrijft auteur de problemen en strategieën van vrouwen om enerzijds niet te vrouwelijk over te komen, omdat ze dan geen overwicht en gezag bij ondergeschikten hebben, en anderzijds ook weer niet te mannelijk, omdat ze dan als rivalen van de mannen of als lesbisch worden beschouwd.

- Description
- Mühlhäuser widerlegt in ihrer Studie die Vorstellung, die deutsche Militärführung hätte angesichts der offiziellen nationalsozialistischen Ablehnung sexueller Kontakte deutscher Männer zu »fremdvölkischen« Frauen versucht, sexuelle Aktivität der Soldaten in Osteuropa strikt zu unterbinden. Sie weist nach, dass von deutschen Truppenangehörigen verübte sexuelle Verbrechen in der UdSSR ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen waren: Soldaten zwangen Frauen und Männer, sich zu entkleiden, machten sie zu Opfern sexueller Folter und verübten Vergewaltigungen. Die Autorin betrachtet sexuelle Gewalt, aber ebenso das gesamte Spektrum heterosexueller Aktivitäten von Wehrmachts- und SS-Angehörigen im Kontext der damaligen Vorstellungen von Männlichkeit und Sexualität ' von Besuchen bei »geheimen« Prostituierten und in Militärbordellen, über Sex im Austausch gegen Schutz oder Lebensmittel bis hin zu konsensuellen Beziehungen, die mitunter dazu führten, dass die Männer Heiratsgesuche stellten. Dem gegenüber standen die institutionellen Bemühungen, die Sexualität der Soldaten zu kontrollieren. Die Führungen von Wehrmacht und SS versuchten nicht, heterosexuelle Kontakte strikt zu unterbinden, denn die Befriedigung sexueller Bedürfnisse galt als probates Mittel, um die Leistung der Männer zu optimieren. Dennoch hielt insbesondere die Wehrmacht ihre Soldaten zu sexueller Mäßigung an, verpflichtete sie zu hygienischer Vorsorge und errichtete Militärbordelle. Auf diese Weise wurden die sexuellen Aktivitäten der Soldaten nicht nur eingeschränkt, sondern auch begünstigt. Zudem schmiedeten die NS- Behörden Pläne zum Umgang mit den Soldatenkindern. Anhand von Militärdokumenten sowie persönlichen Berichten und Interviews ergründet die Autorin das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen dem Verhalten der Soldaten und den Reaktionen der NS- Militärführung.

- Description
- This book explores how and why Scottish Highlanders, Punjabi Sikhs, and Nepalese Gurkhas became identified as the British Empire's fiercest, most manly soldiers in nineteenth century discourse. As 'martial races' these men were believed to possess a biological or cultural disposition to the racial and masculine qualities necessary for the arts of war. Because of this, they were used as icons to promote recruitment in British and Indian armies - a phenomenon with important social and political effects in India, in Britain, and in the armies of the Empire.

- Description
- This history follows the revolution in women's lives and aspirations during the second decade of the 20th century, as reflected in costume and appearance. The book opens the wardrobe in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the contrast between the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of Edwardian womanhood and the gossamer gowns draped round her. It examines such contradictions as suffragettes battling social and legal restrictions while fashion literally hobbles women with narrow skirts and thigh-length corsets.

- Description
- In book Sandra Whitworth looks behind the rhetoric to investigate from a feminist perspective some of the realities of military intervention under the UN flag. .She contends that there is a fundamental contradiction between portrayals of peacekeeping as altruistic and benign and the militarized masculinity that underpins the group identity of soldiers. Examining evidence from Cambodia and Somalia, she argues that sexual and other crimes can be seen as expressions of a violent 'hypermasculinity' that is congruent with militarized identities, but entirely incongruent with missions aimed at maintaining peace. She also asserts that recent efforts within the UN to address gender issues in peacekeeping operations have failed because they fail to challenge traditional understandings of militaries, conflict, and women. .This unsettling critique of UN operations, which also investigates the interplay between gender and racial stereotyping in peacekeeping, has the power to change conventional perceptions, with considerable policy implications.
