This book draws upon concepts from critical race theory and sociocultural evolutionary theory to examine this specific form of gender violence, which takes place outside the law and is a vigilante form of enforcing traditional gender norms. The author positions vigilante gender violence as a global issue produced during specific periods of sociocultural change in conditions marked by intensified social stratification. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catalyst for vigilante gender violence is the formal state's breaching of the \"gender bargain,\" the tacit psychological wage even non-elite men earn by at least not being female. When the state threatens to end the gender bargain by promoting women's rights, the die is cast for low-status men to enforce this bargain themselves in mob attacks against women who are perceived to be violating the patriarchal order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeen through independent case studies in different national settings, this book provides empirical evidence that demonstrates the existence of vigilante gender violence in times when societies are shifting from one phase to another and the social hierarchies present within are disrupted. With greater understanding of when and how to predict the occurrence of this phenomenon, the author posits notable ways to prevent it from happening altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca ﾁlvarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367249081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367249083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.35d","brand":"Rebecca ﾁlvarez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978508173567,"sku":"9780367249083","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79caeded-4dcb-4494-928b-0b4a2bcb1eef.jpg?v=1683241933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vigilante-gender-violence-rebecca-lvarez-9780367249083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
