Gender, Violence and Power in Indonesia : Across Time and Space, Paperback / softback Book

Gender, Violence and Power in Indonesia : Across Time and Space Paperback / softback

Edited by Katharine McGregor, Ana Dragojlovic, Hannah Loney

Part of the ASAA Women in Asia Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to chart how various forms of violence – domestic, military, legal and political – are not separate instances of violence, but rather embedded in structural inequalities brought about by colonialism, occupation and state violence.

The book explores both case studies of individuals and of groups to examine experiences of violence within the context of gender and structures of power in modern Indonesian history and Indonesia-related diasporas.

It argues that gendered violence is particularly important to consider in this region because of its complex history of armed conflict and authoritarian rule, the diversity of people that have been affected by violence, as well as the complexity of the religious and cultural communities involved.

The book focuses in particular on textual narratives of violence, visualisations of violence, commemorations of violence and the politics of care.
