Gender Violence: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

This comprehensive anthology explores the pervasive phenomenon of gendered violence in the United States and around the world. Covering topics such as sexual harassment and violence in schools and workplaces, child abuse, intimate partner violence, and pornography, the book brings together emerging scholarship from feminist, post-modern, and queer theory with classic articles and central authors in the fields of gender, sexuality and violence.

The second edition features a new comprehensive introduction, revised section introductions, and eighteen new selections, including original articles on sex trafficking, masculinity and terrorism, and community responses to gender violence. Innovative theoretical and empirical articles written by scholars from fields such as law, history, and the social sciences appear alongside solution-focused pieces developed by activists, academics, and poets committed to creating a non-violent world.

With its interdisciplinary approach and diverse range of perspectives, this anthology provides a valuable resource for understanding gendered violence and its impact on individuals and society.
