The Resource Militarization and violence against women in conflict zones in the Middle East : a Palestinian case-study, by Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, (electronic resource)

Militarization and violence against women in conflict zones in the Middle East : a Palestinian case-study, by Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, (electronic resource)

Creator
Summary
This book examines and discusses the ordeals that women face as violence is perpetrated against them in politically conflicted and militarized areas. In conflict zones, every act is affected by, dependent on and mobilised by militaristic values. The militarization of both the private and public space and the use of the gendered bodies increases the vulnerability of both men and women, and further masculinises the patriarchal hegemonic powers. Through the stories and ordeals of women in politically conflicted areas and war zones, and by sharing voices of Palestinian women from the Occupied Territories, it is shown that claims such as 'security reasoning', fear from 'terrorism', nationalism, preservation of 'cultural authenticity' and preservation of the land can turn women's bodies and lives into boundary markers and thus sites of violence, contestation and resistance.--
