Critical Feminist Peace and Conflict Studies: Bridging Critique, Vision and PRAXIS (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781399543217)

This volume advances a vision of what Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) might look like if critical feminist theories moved to the centre of our analyses. Critical feminist literatures hold promise for enriching our understanding of everyday dynamics of conflict and potential pathways for building peace with justice. The book charts a course from the critique of the patriarchal, colonial, and liberal power structures that exacerbate violence, to presenting a vision of feminist alternatives to the status quo, and finally, to a discussion of the application of feminist insights for research, pedagogy, and praxis. Empirical and theoretical contributions explore topics including religious women's activism, colonial power dynamics within elementary schools, critical views on women's empowerment, grassroots pro-migrant movements, embodied and affective practices of peace, Indigenous and migrant views on citizenship and solidarity, critical feminist research ethics, and intersectional, queer and posthumanist peace pedagogies.
