- Description
- Violent extremism has a gender dimension that produces disproportionate effects on women. It forms a leading challenge to realizing sustainable peace globally. This research volume focuses on the relation between gender identity and violent extremism in South and South-East Asia. The first chapter analyzes militarized masculinities in the southern Philippines to illustrate how notions of masculinity and femininity operate in local settings and how they are linked to notions of violence. The second chapter examines how gender identities are portrayed in the myths and stories of violent extremist groups from Indonesia and the Philippines. In the third contribution, the author explores the relationship between violent extremism and domestic violence against women, through interviews with communities in rural Bangladesh. The final chapter examines the relationship between gender inequality, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and the presence of terrorist groups.

- Description
- This book argues that in order for feminist criminology to enhance its conceptual and political relevance in the twenty-first century, bold new directions in scholarship on gender, crime and global justice are required that also take into account global divisions and inequalities. Issues explored in the book include the forced marriage of child brides, female genital mutilation, feminicide, honour crimes, rape and domestic violence, and the systemic denial of female rights justified by religion, custom or culture. It also explores rising rates of violence recorded for women offenders globally, and their increasing participation in terrorism, as well as troubling male-on-male violence in anomic spaces cultivated by globalising forces.

- This book explores how the terrorist is represented and the processes through which they have subsumed so many popular cultural myths. It discusses how a terrorist's capacity for destruction can be linked to their appropriation or rejection of gender stereotypes and includes essays on masculinities in post-conflict Northern Ireland, gendered insurgency, the colonial state of exception, Oedipal rivalries, the German Red Army Faction, masculinity in Fox television saga 24 and Anders Behring Breivik's sartorial code. In addition to essays that debate the broad imagery that surrounds terrorism's visual cultures it includes pages by artists who question the role of censorship and the physiognomy of evil.

- Description
- In the global news, we hear stories daily about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, about domestic-level conflicts around the world, about the challenges of cybersecurity and social security. This broad list highlights the fact that security is an idea with multiple meanings, but do we all experience security issues in the same way? In this book, Nicole Detraz explores the terrain of security studies through a gender lens. Ideas about masculinity and femininity play important roles in how we understand and react to security threats. By examining issues of militarization, peacekeeping, terrorism, human security, and environmental security, the book considers how the gender-security nexus pushes us to ask different questions and broaden our sphere of analysis. Including gender in our analysis of security challenges the primacy of some traditional security concepts and shifts the focus to be more inclusive. Our society often expects men and women to play different roles. This book demonstrates that security debates exhibit gendered understandings of key concepts, and whilst these gendered assumptions may benefit specific people, they are often detrimental to others, particularly in the key realm of policy-making.

- Description
- Addressing the co-optation of feminist analysis by the state, the discursive constitution of gender and violence, the location of violence in relations of production and reproduction as weaving this together with contemporary critical masculinity studies, Pease shows that men’s violence against women needs to be understood in the context of other forms of men’s violence, including violence against boys and other men, the involvement of men in wars and conflict between nations, and men’s ecologically destructive practices which constitute a form of slow violence.

- Description
- Ideas of masculinity and femininity become sharply defined in war-reliant societies, resulting in a presumed enmity between men and women. This so-called 'battle of the sexes' is intensified by the use of misogyny to encourage men and boys to conform to the demands of masculinity. Drawing on cross-cultural comparisons and examples from popular media, including sports culture, the rise of 'gonzo' and 'bangbus' pornography, and 'internet trolls,' Digby describes how the hatred of women and the suppression of empathy are used to define masculinity, thereby undermining relations between women and men--sometimes even to the extent of violence. Digby identifies cultural elements that contribute to heterosexual antagonism, such as an enduring faith in male force to solve problems, the glorification of violent men who suppress caring emotions, the devaluation of men's physical and emotional lives, an imaginary gender binary, male privilege premised on the subordination of women, and the use of misogyny to encourage masculine behavior. He finds the link between war and gender to be dissolving in many societies: war is becoming slowly de-gendered, and gender is becoming slowly de-militarized.

- Description
- This book provides a historical account of the mainstream representations of Arab masculinities in the United States, using them as a contrast to the realities experienced by Arab men in the American diaspora. The book illustrates the role of feminism in Arab American literature written by women and its influence on women’s depictions of Arab men. Through an analysis of representative works by Diana Abu-Jaber, Laila Halaby, and Randa Jarrar, among others, this volume demonstrates how Arab American women’s anti-racist and anti-sexist struggles inform their nuanced portrayals of Arab men.

- Description
- Uit 'World report on violence and health' van de World Health Organisation (2002) blijkt dat geweld wereldwijd één van de voornaamste doodsoorzaken is voor personen tussen de vijftien en vierenveertig jaar. Linda Mans bezocht Kaapstad, Zuid-Afrika, in 2005 voor een cursus 'gender and health' en kwam er achter dat de resultaten van haar onderzoek naar geweld tegen tienermeiden in Zuid-Afrika, bijna tien jaar geleden, nog steeds actueel is. Mans gaat in op de genderaspecten van geweld tegen jonge vrouwen in een omgeving waar bendes actief zijn. Jill Bradley onderzocht de verbeelding van de dood in middeleeuwse miniaturen en handschriften. De dood van de ziel werd als mannelijk gezien, de dood van het lichaam als vrouwelijk. Bradley tracht de redenen daarvoor te achterhalen. Sterre Gielen ging na waarom mensen in Mumbai, India, liever een zoon dan een dochter hebben. Marije Rosing stelt de vanzelfsprekendheid van de tegenstelling tussen 'typisch vrouwelijke' eigenschappen en het uitvoeren van terroristische acties ter discussie.
