review: Editorial Reviews Review "This wide-ranging volume documents the complicity of states in gender violence, from state perpetration of strategic sexual violence in some conflict settings – in Greece, Guatemala, Iraq, among others – to the neglect by states worldwide of women’s security and other basic needs in both war and peace. Essential reading for scholars and practitioners alike." -- Elisabeth Jean Wood ― Yale University "In this excellent book, the contributors consistently and compellingly question our assumptions about the state and gender violence in ways that will ground forthcoming scholarly conversations." -- Irina Carlota (Lotti) Silber ― City College of New York About the Author VICTORIA SANFORD is professor and chair of anthropology, as well as director of the Center for Human Rights and Peace Studies at Lehman College, and doctoral faculty at the Graduate Center, City University of New York.
