{"product_id":"the-grip-of-sexual-violence-karen-engle-9781503611245","title":"The Grip of Sexual Violence in Conflict: Feminist Interventions in International Law","description":"\u003cp\u003eContemporary feminist advocacy in human rights, international criminal law, and peace and security is gripped by the issue of sexual violence in conflict. But it hasn't always been this way. Analyzing feminist international legal and political work over the past three decades, Karen Engle argues that it was not inevitable that sexual violence in conflict would become such a prominent issue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEngle reveals that as feminists from around the world began to pay an enormous amount of attention to sexual violence in conflict, they often did so at the cost of attention to other issues, including the anti-militarism of the women's peace movement; critiques of economic maldistribution, imperialism, and cultural essentialism by feminists from the global South; and the sex-positive positions of many feminists involved in debates about sex work and pornography. \u003ci\u003eThe Grip of Sexual Violence in Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e offers a detailed examination of how these feminist commitments were not merely deprioritized, but undermined, by efforts to address the issue of sexual violence in conflict. Engle's analysis reinvigorates vital debates about feminist goals and priorities, and spurs readers to question much of today's common sense about the causes, effects, and proper responses to sexual violence in conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Engle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503611248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503611245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021","brand":"Karen Engle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935274893567,"sku":"9781503611245","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4ab907c7-2f03-451a-8503-7a3b3fc09460.jpg?v=1681418878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grip-of-sexual-violence-karen-engle-9781503611245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
