If anything can make a difference, however, this book will.\u003cbr\u003e -Jean Comaroff, University of Chicago \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eGender Violence skillfully charts a tempered course through some of the most charged and globally relevant issues today. Sally Merry draws on her extensive and long-term research both to provide a primer for neophytes in how to think about gender violence and a sophisticated analysis of the structural conditions that unevenly distribute those subject to it. With critical care, she adheres to the complex and ambiguous social, personal, and political predicaments that foster its occlusion while addressing how activism has shaped the changing terms in which it is made visible, confronted, and understood.\u003cbr\u003e -Ann Laura Stoler, The New School\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTaking an anthropological perspective, this comprehensive book offers a highly readable and concise overview of what constitutes gender violence, its social context, and important directions in intervention and reform.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses stories, personal accounts, case studies and a global perspective to provide a vivid and engaging portrait of forms of violence in gendered relationships\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensively covers many forms of gender violence including domestic violence, rape, murder, wartime sexual assault, prison and police violence, female genital cutting, dowry murders, female infanticide, “honor” killings, and sex trafficking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines major approaches to diminishing gender violence such as criminalization, batterer retraining programs, and human rights interventions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights the role of social movements in defining the problem and mobilizing reforms in the US and internationally\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface vi  \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Gender Violence and Social Movements 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Punishment, Safety, and Reform: Interventions in Domestic Violence 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Gender Violence as a Human Rights Violation 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Poverty, Racism, and Migration 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Violent \"Cultural\" Practices in the Family 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Women and Armed Confl ict 156\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Conclusions 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 207\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Archaeology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20%5BHD%5D%22\"\u003eHD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52405663138072,"sku":"9780631223580","price":78.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631223580.jpg?v=1784137159","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/gender-violence-a-cultural-perspective-hardback-9780631223580","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
