"this book offers a diverse examination of the intersection of human rights violations and gendered violence in some African and diasporic literature and cinema. Perhaps what makes this volume so valuable is its insistence on foregrounding agency and ongoing resistance, and its effort to complicate notions of gendered violence by considering women, men, non-binary people and children as they strive against the oppressive structures that inflict gender-based harm. Another strength of this book is its relatively wide reach, which includes work from several African countries."
