review: Editorial Reviews Review "Each of the chapters in this volume has something to offer, even on topics which are likely to be familiar to those working, teaching, researching or otherwise active in the areas covered. Some of the contributions are based on qualitative research and/or direct interaction with individuals and issues whereas others provide a very comprehensive historical overview or analysis of existing issues pertinent in the gendered violence domain. The collection is incredibly informative, as well as being written in a clear and accessible way for as broad an audience as possible." Marian Duggan, University of Ken t in feminists@law ’Deftly exploring the intersectionalities of feminist theory and activism, race, gender, and socioeconomic status, and women’s complex agency as victims, conduits, and perpetrators of violence, Bahun and Rajan have succeeded brilliantly in bringing together a rich group of contributors to address timely questions of theory and policy regarding human security in all its manifestations.’ Paige Whaley Eager, Hood College, USA ’A necessary read for anyone who wants to understand the current context of the gendered nature of violence, from the intimate to the international. The volume’s strength stems from case studies that exemplify the now in international politics written by contributors from across the globe.’ Caron E.
