Gender, Globalization, and Violence (eBook, ePUB)

Postcolonial Conflict Zones
Redaktion: Ponzanesi, Sandra

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume maps the intersection between war and violence from a gendered postcolonial perspective. Its unique analyses disrupt traditional notions of violence by exploring the transition from conflict to resolution. It accounts for the history of empire and its lingering influence into present-day configurations of gender, race, nationality, class and sexuality.
