Rutgers University Press Global Child: Children and Families Affected by
Book SynopsisArmed conflicts continue to wreak havoc on children and families around the world with profound effects. In 2017, 420 million children—nearly one in five—were living in conflict-affected areas, an increase in 30 million from the previous year. The recent surge in war-induced migration, referred to as a “global refugee crisis” has made migration a highly politicized issue, with refugee populations and host countries facing unique challenges. We know from research related to asylum seeking families that it is vital to think about children and families in relation to what it means to stay together, what it means for parents to be separated from their children, and the kinds of everyday tensions that emerge in living in dangerous, insecure, and precarious circumstances. In Global Child, the authors draw on what they have learned through their collaborative undertakings, and highlight the unique features of participatory, arts-based, and socio-ecological approaches to studying war-affected children and families, demonstrating the collective strength as well as the limitations and ethical implications of such research. Building on work across the Global South and the Global North, this book aims to deepen an understanding of their tri-pillared approach, and the potential of this methodology for contributing to improved practices in working with war-affected children and their families.Trade Review"Global Child is a gift. It enables the reader to see and understand what ecological, participatory, ethical, and collaborative work looks like; and it makes me hopeful for research, practice, and policy in contexts of conflict and migration that embodies the listening, unlearning, and re-envisioning that this book illuminates."— Sarah Dryden-Peterson, Author of Right Where We Belong: How Refugee Teachers and Students Are Changing the Future of Education "Global Child, skillfully edited by Denov, Mitchell, and Rabiau, is a richly textured collection that highlights the impact of war, displacement, and migration on children and families worldwide. The compelling use of participatory, arts-based research makes visible the courage, integrity, and creativity of both researchers and participants alike. Their difficult knowledge needs to be widely shared in the Global North and the Global South."— Bonny Norton, Author of Identity and Language Learning "Global Child is a gift.

Rutgers University Press Rape by the Numbers: Producing and Contesting
Book SynopsisScience plays a substantial, though under-acknowledged, role in shaping popular understandings of rape. Statistical figures like “1 in 4 women have experienced completed or attempted rape” are central for raising awareness. Yet such scientific facts often become points of controversy, particularly as conservative scholars and public figures attempt to discredit feminist activists. Rape by the Numbers explores scientists’ approaches to studying rape over more than forty years in the United States and Canada. In addition to investigating how scientists come to know the scope, causes, and consequences of rape, this book delves into the politics of rape research. Scholars who study rape often face a range of social pressures and resource constraints, including some that are unique to feminized and politicized fields of inquiry. Collectively, these matters have far-reaching consequences. Scientific projects may determine who counts as a potential victim/survivor or aggressor in a range of contexts, shaping research agendas as well as state policy, anti-violence programming and services, and public perceptions. Social processes within the study of rape determine which knowledges count as credible science, and thus who may count as an expert in academic and public contexts.Trade Review"This book will truly be a welcome wake-up call for those social scientists dedicated to studying rape and sexual assault. It effectively reveals the many blind spots of much of the work that has been done over the past several decades, and is refreshingly full of valid and reasonable recommendations and potential solutions to help move this field of study forward most inclusively and productively." -- Deborah White * Professor, Trent University *“Rape by the Numbers is an important, well-researched, theoretically sophisticated, and engagingly presented book.

Rutgers University Press Resonant Violence: Affect, Memory, and Activism
Book SynopsisFrom the Holocaust in Europe to the military dictatorships of Latin America to the enduring violence of settler colonialism around the world, genocide has been a defining experience of far too many societies. In many cases, the damaging legacies of genocide lead to continued violence and social divisions for decades. In others, however, creative responses to this identity-based violence emerge from the grassroots, contributing to widespread social and political transformation. Resonant Violence explores both the enduring impacts of genocidal violence and the varied ways in which states and grassroots collectives respond to and transform this violence through memory practices and grassroots activism. By calling upon lessons from Germany, Poland, Argentina, and the Indigenous United States, Resonant Violence demonstrates how ordinary individuals come together to engage with a violent past to pave the way for a less violent future.Trade Review"This theoretically sophisticated yet accessible book marks an important advance for research. It breaks from mainstream approaches and introduces a novel set of explorations around the idea of 'resonant violence,' going well beyond the concept of trauma as normally understood. It should be widely read." -- Ernesto Verdeja * University of Notre Dame *"Kerry Whigham's great intelligence and sensibility are on display throughout this book. In addition to introducing the notion of 'resonant violence,' he not only integrates memory studies, affect theory, performance studies, and transitional justice eruditely to the study of the topic, but also shows the importance of embodied practices for addressing and preventing genocidal violence." -- Pablo de Greiff * Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, School of Law, NYU and First UN Special Rapporteur for the promotion of truth, justice, reparation, and guarantees of non-recurrence *"This authoritative, informative and resourceful book contributes to new knowledge on forms of genocidal violence, oppression, discrimination and structural institutional power in context specific ways with a blend of astounding clarity, conciseness and sharp analysis.

Rutgers University Press High-Risk Feminism in Colombia: Women's
Book SynopsisHigh-Risk Feminism in Colombia documents the experiences of grassroots women’s organizations that united to demand gender justice during and in the aftermath of Colombia’s armed conflict. In doing so, it illustrates a little-studied phenomenon: women whose experiences with violence catalyze them to mobilize and resist as feminists, even in the face of grave danger. Despite a well-established tradition of studying women in war, we tend to focus on their roles as mothers or carers, as peacemakers, or sometimes as revolutionaries. This book explains the gendered underpinnings of why women engage in feminist mobilization, even when this takes place in a ‘domain of losses’ that exposes them to high levels of risk. It follows four women’s organizations who break with traditional gender norms and defy armed groups’ social and territorial control, exposing them to retributive punishment. It provides rich evidence to document how women are able to surmount the barriers to mobilization when they frame their actions in terms of resistance, rather than fear. Trade Review"High Risk Feminism in Colombia updates all our frameworks to explain why women mobilize for gender justice in the face of explicit threats making them targets for violence. In Colombia—but with relevance to Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan and many other contexts—Zulver shows how feminist identities and frames have evolved well beyond the strategic essentialism of motherhood, empowering current generations to protest." -- Jacqui True * author of The Political Economy of Violence against Women *"High Risk Feminism in Colombia is a much-needed contribution to our understanding of why, how, and when women engage in gender justice struggles (feminisms), even in contexts where such visible participation puts them at high risk. This is truly an engaged project and a rigorous academic effort to bring to life the agency of women struggling for gender justice in violent contexts where their lives are threatened." -- María Emma Wills Obregón * Adjoint Professor at the School of Social Sciences, Universidad de Los Andes *"Using the idea of ‘high risk feminism’ allows Julia Zulver to unpack the multiple risks faced by women activists and the strategies and reasonings they deploy to defend their rights as women. Considering the ongoing gendered violence and dispossession in Colombia and Latin America, understanding and supporting feminist activism is more important than ever." -- Jelke Boesten * co-editor of Gender, Transitional Justice and Memorial Arts: Global Perspectives on Commemoration an *"This fascinating and imperative volume examines feminist mobilization and collective resistance catalyzed by danger, loss and risk in Colombia." * Ms. Magazine *"Zulver offers a compellingly theorized and empirically profound insight into Colombian women’s civil society mobilization. High-Risk Feminism in Colombia is an essential read for scholars of gender and armed conflict, as well as those interested in civilian agency during war." -- Anne-Kathrin Kreft * International Affairs *"High-Risk Feminism in Columbia provides a new explanation of why women engage in feminist mobilization despite the high risks...Through detailed and conscientious documentation of four women's organizations, Julia Zulver paints an impressive picture of feminist agency in violent contexts. The book is theoretically innovative and based on a compelling methodology and impressive empirics... [I]ts insights are relevant for a wide range of contexts, such as Afghanistan, Kenya, or the Philippines.

Rutgers University Press Citizens against Crime and Violence: Societal
Book SynopsisMexico has become notorious for crime-related violence, and the efforts of governments and national and international NGOs to counter this violence have proven largely futile. Citizens against Crime and Violence studies societal responses to crime and violence within one of Mexico’s most affected regions, the state of Michoacán. Based on comparative ethnography conducted over twelve months by a team of anthropologists and sociologists across six localities of Michoacán, ranging from the most rural to the most urban, the contributors consider five varieties of societal responses: local citizen security councils that define security and attempt to influence its policing, including by self-defense groups; cultural activists looking to create safe 'cultural' fields from which to transform their social environment; organizations in the state capital that combine legal and political strategies against less visible violence (forced disappearance, gender violence, anti-LGBT); church-linked initiatives bringing to bear the church’s institutionality, including to denounce 'state capture'; and women’s organizations creating 'safe' networks allowing to influence violence prevention.Trade Review"In the face of government failure to provide justice and security, how have Mexican citizens – cultural and political activists, women’s collectives, church groups – responded to violence and crime that upend their daily lives? This unique comparative ethnography by a multidisciplinary team of scholars foregrounds the creative, courageous, and arduous work through which people are stitching the torn social fabric of their communities. Empirically and conceptually rich, it is an essential, timely read." -- Ieva Jusionyte * author of Threshold: Emergency Responders on the US-Mexico Border *"This book takes an original lens to the crisis of violence, crime and insecurity in Mexico. Through an ethnographic approach, it critically and insightfully accompanies the efforts of social and civic actors in varied locations of Michoacán, from urban to more rural, to find a space to act creatively in and on the many violences they have to live with." -- Jenny Pearce * author of Politics without Violence?

Rutgers University Press In the Crossfire of History: Women's War
Book SynopsisIn the global south, women have and continue to resist multiple forms of structural violence. The atrocities committed against Yazidi women by ISIS have been recognized internationally, and the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Nadia Murad in 2018 was a tribute to honor women whose bodies have been battered in the name of race, nationality, war, and religion. In the Crossfire of History:Women's War Resistance Discourse in the Global South is an edited collection that incorporates literary works, testimonies, autobiographies, women’s resistance movements, and films that add to the conversation on the resilience of women in the global south. The collection focuses on Palestine, Kashmir, Syria, Kurdistan, Congo, Argentina, Central America, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The essays question historical accuracy and politics of representation that usually undermine women’s role during conflict, and they reevaluate how women participated, challenged, sacrificed, and vehemently opposed war discourses that erase women’s role in shaping resistance movements.The transformative mode of these examples expands the definition of heroism and defiance. To prevent these types of heroism from slipping into the abyss of history, this collection brings forth and celebrates women’s fortitude in conflict zones. In the Crossfire of History shines a light onwomen across the globe who are resisting the sociopolitical and economic injustices in their nation-states. Trade Review“This is a timely intervention in women’s resistance from the Global South that maps the complex labyrinth of women’s opposition, agency, advocacy through various forms of art, literature, and activism.

Rutgers University Press Destroy Them Gradually: Displacement as Atrocity
Book SynopsisPerpetrators of mass atrocities have used displacement to transport victims to killing sites or extermination camps to transfer victims to sites of forced labor and attrition, to ethnically homogenize regions by moving victims out of their homes and lands, and to destroy populations by depriving them of vital daily needs. Displacement has been treated as a corollary practice to crimes committed, not a central aspect of their perpetration. Destroying Them Gradually examines four cases that illuminate why perpetrators have destroyed populations using displacement policies: Germany’s genocide of the Herero (1904–1908); Ottoman genocides of Christian minorities (1914–1925); expulsions of Germans from East/Central Europe (1943–1952); and climate violence (twenty-first century). Because displacement has been typically framed as a secondary aspect of mass atrocities, existing scholarship overlooks how perpetrators use it as a means of executing destruction rather than a vehicle for moving people to a specific location to commit atrocities. Trade Review“Destroy Them Gradually focuses our attention on spatial techniques of displacement and their prominent role in group destruction. Basso offers a compelling argument for taking displacement seriously as a crime and demonstrates the new and profound insights one gains when giving fuller attention to questions of when, where, and why this method of atrocity is deployed.”— Andrew Woolford, author of This Benevolent Experiment: Indigenous Boarding Schools, Genocide, and Redress in Canada a "In this brilliant intervention, Andrew Basso demonstrates that displacement constitutes its own understudied method of mass violence. Basso reveals the role of displacement in historical atrocities and, as we nosedive into intense climate change, how it is rapidly becoming perhaps the most prevalent form of mass destruction. Anyone concerned with the future of mass violence should read this timely contribution."— Benjamin Meiches, Benjamin Meiches, associate professor of Politics, Philosophy and Public Affairs at the University oTable of ContentsTable of Contents Introduction Part I: Displacement Atrocity Crimes Chapter 1 Extirpation: Understanding Annihilatory Forced Displacement Chapter 2 Exposure: A Theory of Displacement Atrocity Crimes Part II: German South-West Africa Chapter 3 Trepidation: Colonized Namibia and Violent Horizons (1652-1904) Chapter 4 Extermination: Germany’s Genocide of the Herero (1904-1908) Chapter 5 Inescapability: The Nama Genocide (1905-1908) Part III: The Ottoman Empire and Turkey Chapter 6 Collapse: The Nadir of the Ottoman Empire (1839-1915) Chapter 7 Excision: The Ottoman Genocide of Christian Minorities (1914-1925) Chapter 8 Neurosis: The Hamidian Massacres (1894-1897) Part IV: Central and East Europe Chapter 9 Metamorphosis: A World Made New (9th Century-1945) Chapter 10 Catharsis: The Expulsion of the Germans (1944-1950) Chapter 11 Desolation: The Holocaust (1933-1945) Part V: Climate Violence and Conclusions Chapter 12 Tragedy: Logics of Displacement in the 21st Century Chapter 13 Farce: To Destroy Them Gradually?

Rutgers University Press Being Human: Political Modernity and Hospitality
Book SynopsisThe Iraqi Baʿth state’s Anfāl operations (1987-1991) is one of the twentieth century’s ultimate acts of destruction of the possibility of being human. It remains the first and only crime of state in the Middle East to be tried under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, the 1950 Nuremberg Principles, and the 1969 Iraqi Penal Code and to be recognized as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Baghdad between 2006 and 2007. Being Human: Political Modernity and Hospitality in Kurdistan-Iraq offers an unprecedented pathway to the study of political violence. It is a sweeping work of anthropological hospitality, returning to the Anfāl operations as the violence of political modernity only to turn to the human survivors’ hospitality and acts of translation—testimonial narratives, law, politics, archive, poetry, artworks, museums, memorials, symbolic cemeteries, and infinite pursuit of justice in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Being Human gathers together social sciences, humanities, and the arts to understand modernity's violence and its living on. Trade Review"Being Human is an unsettling and urgent work of scholarship that transcends the confines of the university to address some of the most compelling conditions of human life and death. Anthropological hospitality, the idea at the heart of this book, provides an illuminating and passionate perspective on the plight of locality in the fight for the recognition of global justice." -- Homi K. Bhabha * Homi K. Bhabha, Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University *"In rich, poetic prose, Fazil Moradi brilliantly unravels the politics of reading, witnessing, and memory challenging us to listen to survivors of the al-Anfal to understand the limits and possibilities of justice and accountability without losing sight of the hope and trust required for acts of hospitality and translation in Being Human." -- Victoria Sanford * Victoria Sanford, author of Textures of Terror: The Murder of Claudina Isabel Velasquez and Her Fath *"Raw and beautiful. Moradi shows us how to listen to survivors of mass violence. In silences, gestures, and words from generous hosts who lived through the mass Anfal attacks of late 20th-century Kurdistan Iraq, Moradi implicates political modernity. This book richly and poignantly displays the dignity and beauty of both people lost, and those who live on having survived and witnessed. It is painful to read, and that is one of its successes. All students of the modern state should read this book." -- Diane E. King * Diane E.

Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay E nâtamukw miyeyimuwin: Residential School
Book SynopsisAlthough Ruth DyckFehderau is the writer, this is a community project, owned and controlled by the James Bay Cree health dept (because stories are medicine)The James Bay Cree hired outside writers because “our own writers have enough to carry.” Each story was difficult to retell to the writer. Most residential school stories are still passed on in traditional ways – there are many healing projects going on, this is just one project to deliver the stories to a wider audience people whose stories are in the book are people who want their stories in a book (not a traditional Cree art form), want their stories shared outside eeyou istchee, want to tell their stories anonymously because they hold a position of prominence in the community and feel they can’t speak freely otherwise, they want to control how children and grandchildren discover their stories, sometimes protecting perpetrators (whom they might love) just for other privacy reasons methodology: hearing the story, sometimes multiple times, going away to write it up, then returning for approval, as many times as that took. Resources were offered for healing throughout the process, themes heard throughout: healing does not mean justice has been done; sometimes this is the first time these stories have been told; storytellers worried about telling the stories of others; the intent of these stories is to help others although the book contains difficult content the stories are often uplifting – no need to be afraid of what is on the page. Each story, each person, each healing process, is different.first book will be followed by 2 or 3 more in the coming years.Trade Review“These previously unwritten stories of lived, traumatized experiences are testament to the storytellers’ courage and strength and resilience. When the rich Cree traditional and spiritual relationship with land and with family is harmed by separation, hatred, and fear - a harm resulting in anger and loss of values, identity, and self-worth - these storytellers find ways to heal. Through their stories, you learn about culture as treatment, about the power of forgiveness and love, and about peaceful co-existence in community as essential to healing, belief, and advancing true reconciliation.” —Chief Willie Littlechild, Ermineskin Cree Nation, Former Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner, Former residential school student athlete, Order of Canada; Order of Sport, Member of Sports Halls of Fame, Canada and North America “These Cree stories, told with utmost respect and a feeling of safety, are gifts. They are medicine.” —Joanna Campiou, Woodland/Plains Cree Knowledge Keeper “This is a difficult but necessary book. There’s a power to truth and to the realities of the Indian Residential School system, but for those wanting to see strength and movement toward hope, this is the book for you. These stories hold that hope close to the heart. What shines through is a love of the land, a love of community, a love of the Cree language, a love of family – exactly what colonial forces like the IRS system tried to destroy but couldn’t.” —Conor Kerr, Metis/Ukrainian author, Avenue of Champions, Giller Prize longlist

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Trap of Proximity Violence: Research and
Book SynopsisThis book aims at shifting the emphasis from a general vision of gender-based violence to a more opaque, yet equally destructive one, that related to "proximity violence".The first type of violence is exercised in multiple situations and in the generality of relationships experienced by people involving others who are both strangers to and intimate with each other. Proximity violence provides and includes a fiduciary kind of "proximity", of "dependent intimacy", where the trust that the victim places in the other (her tormentor) favours the exercise of violence itself, allowing it to take place, thus making it practically imperceptible when not actually normal, in extreme cases.In turn, this confidence is comparable to "a veil of Maja" which, in conditions of vulnerability typical of victims, attenuates the consequences of the violence undergone or the omens of what becomes violent action.The conceptual triad: proximity violence, vulnerability, resistance-resilience is explored here, in the three main chapters and in the details aimed at identifying, in the final chapter, the mutual interconnections. This book will be of particular interest and use to undergraduate and graduate students of sociology and gender studiesTable of Contents

Springer International Publishing AG Gender-Based Violence in Migration:
Book SynopsisWith contributions from a diverse array of international scholars, this edited volume offers a renewed understanding of gender-based violence (GBV) by examining its social and political dimensions in migration contexts. This book engages micro, meso, and macro levels of analysis by foregrounding a conceptualization of GBV that addresses both its interpersonal and structural causes. Chapters explore how GBV frameworks and migration management intersect, bringing to the forefront the specific inequalities these intersections produce for migrant women. Drawing upon several disciplines, the authors engage in co-writing a critical engagement which proposes an original understanding of how the concepts of intersectionality, vulnerability and precarity speak to each other from a feminist perspective. This volume will be of interest to scholars/researchers and policymakers in Gender Studies, Migration and Refugee Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Trauma Studies, Human Rights and Socio-Legal Studies.Table of ContentsPart I Against Essentialism and Beyond Abstract Universalism: Theorising Gender-Based Violence in Migration Contexts 1 Thinking about Gender and Violence in Migration: An Introduction 2 Vulnerability, Precarity and Intersectionality: A Critical Review of Three Key Concepts for Understanding Gender-Based Violence in Migration Contexts Part II Policy Intersections: Combating Gender-Based Violence and Managing Migration3 Countering ‘Their’ Violence: Framing Gendered Violence Against Women Migrants in Austria4 The Gender of Canadian Legal and Policy Gender-Based Violence and Immigration Frameworks 5 Gender-based Violence as a ‘Consequence of Migration’: How Culturalist Framings of GBV Ignore Structural Violence Against Migrant Women in France 6 Crimmigration and Gender-Based Violence Against Women Asylum Seekers in Israel Part III Understanding Policy Implications, Foregrounding Women’s Voices 7 Vulnerability and Resiliency: Immigrant Women, Social Networks and Family Violence 8 Between the Law and a Hard Place—A Victim of Trafficking Meets the Norwegian Migration Regime 9 Gender-Based Violence as a Continuum in the Lives of Women Seeking Asylum: From Resistance to Patriarchy to Patterns of Institutional Violence in France10 Conclusion

NUS Press Anti-Chinese Violence in Indonesia 1996-1999
Book SynopsisIndonesians of Chinese descent constitute only two to three per cent of the country's population but dominate the private business sector. Serious acts of violence against this ethnic minority occurred during Indonesia's colonial past, and after a period relatively free of such incidents became increasingly frequent during the final years of Suharto's New Order. In this first book-length study of anti-Chinese hostility during the collapse of Suharto's regime, Jemma Purdey presents a close analysis of the main incidents of violence during the transitional period between 1996 and 1999, and the unprecedented process of national reflection that ensued. The mass violence that accompanied the fall of the regime in May 1998 affected not only ethnic Chinese but also indigenous or pribumi Indonesians. The author places anti-Chinese riots within this broader context, considering causes and agency as well as the way violence has been represented. While ethnicity and prejudice are central to the explanation put forward, she concludes that politics, economics and religion offer additional keys to understanding why such outbreaks occurred.

Taylor & Francis School Bullying and Mental Health
Book SynopsisBullying amongst young people is a serious and pervasive problem, and recent rapid advances in electronic communication technologies have provided even more tools for bullies to exploit. School Bullying and Mental Health collates current research evidence and theoretical perspectives about school bullying in one comprehensive volume, identifying the nature and extent of bullying and cyberbullying at school, as well as its impact on children and young peopleâs emotional health and well-being. There are many negative consequences of bullying, and children and young people who have been victimised often suffer long-term psychological problems, such as increased levels of anxiety, depressive symptoms, social isolation, loneliness and suicidal ideation. Perpetrators of bullying also have a heightened risk of experiencing problems such as anxiety and depression, as well as eating disorders and antisocial behaviour. Founded on rigorous academic research, this important bookTrade Review‘School Bullying and Mental Health: Risks, Intervention and Prevention is a unique book that covers a broad variety of relevant and cutting-edge topics spanning from theory to practice. The book discusses the tipping point at which bullying becomes a crime and considers bullying involving sexual violence and bullying targeting minorities. As well as the school setting, bullying in university and workplace settings is covered in this book, giving the reader an overview of bullying across the life-span. The consequences of bullying are considered while accounting for therapeutic work and interventions within specific social and cultural contexts. A must-read for anyone with an interest in this increasingly recognised world-wide problem.’ - Professor Muthanna Samara, Department of Psychology, Kingston University London, UK‘This is a very important book for anyone who is concerned with the nature of bullying, its consequences for the mental health and well-being of young people, and the measures that can be taken to ameliorate and prevent this ubiquitous but often hidden problem. The editors, Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers, are distinguished authorities in this complex area and bring to bear their extensive knowledge in the creation of a scholarly and very well constructed book. In dividing the volume into five distinct themes, elaborated by a wide array of international expert writers, they provide the reader with an invaluable resource that illuminates the multifarious nature of bullying in ways that are always informative, engaging, and thought-provoking. The writing is clear and accessible, but never at the expense of complexity. School Bullying and Mental Health: Risks, Intervention and Prevention offers many important insights, none more important than the fact that bullying in schools has immediate, extensive, and, in some cases, lifelong negative consequences for its victims that can be prevented through timely, informed and carefully targeted intervention. This book deserves a very wide readership among school leaders, teachers, educational psychologists, and school governors, as well as policy makers. Academics in education, and their Masters and Doctoral students studying bullying and mental health, will also find this book an indispensable source.’ - Paul Cooper, CPsychol, FBPsS, Emeritus Professor, Brunel University London, UK‘Bullying was for long spared full censure, the rigours of the criminal law and the criminological gaze, as if it were a fleeting and marginal form of misbehaviour that should be treated with an indulgence akin to benefit of clergy. But a changing understanding of childhood, greater publicity and an enhanced appreciation of who and what it is to be a victim have begun to translate it into a complex and consequential social problem. It is apparent that it is not simply confined to the playground; that it may take multiple forms and that its impact is often far from ephemeral. It is not always easy to make sense of everything that has been learned, and Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers are greatly to be thanked for having mustered educationalists, sociologists, criminologists, and psychologists from across the globe to produce such a timely and comprehensive review of the state of expert, legal, practical, and policy-relevant knowledge of the field.’ - Paul Rock, Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics, UK‘Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers realize that such an important issue as bullying needs to be viewed from different angles, based on current scientific data and appropriate methods in the field of research, intervention, and prevention. They gathered scientific researchers as well as practitioners in bullying prevention and treatment from various countries: UK, USA, Greece, Malta, Sweden, Spain, Pakistan, Australia, Ireland, and Finland. All of them share with us their impressive knowledge and practical experiences for dealing with bullying. Therefore, the book will be of great value for a range of practitioners (teachers, psychologists etc.), but also for university teachers and students, interested parents of both bullies and victims, and all those victimized people who are searching for the right answers.’ - Renata Miljević-Riđički, Professor in the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb, CroatiaTable of ContentsSeries Editor's Foreword Contributors Theme 1: The Nature of Bullying 1.

Taylor & Francis Sadomasochism Popular Culture and Revolt A
Book SynopsisSadomasochism, Popular Culture and Revolt: A Pornography of Violence explores powerful connections between violent pornography and current gender wars, generational conflicts, political struggles, and racial and ethnic unrest. Long before these conflicts dominated headlines worldwide, they become embedded and contextualized in popular culture. Tracing the history of todayâs popular porn genres, including torture porn, revenge porn, war porn, and fascist porn, Tom Pollard reveals a sadomasochistic trope of fictional and real sexual violence and sexual justice that had largely remained hidden and suppressed. Today it has exploded into public awareness by mass movements like #MeToo demanding justice for sexual assault victims. This movement joins other recent social movements, including Black Lives Matter and advocates of safety from gun violence, which, along with #MeToo, constitute a revolt of submissives no longer willing to endure unwanted violence.This thoughtful examination of the history and content of violent pornography reveals portentous patterns and developing trends. By examining pornographyâs violent content, Pollard forces us to confront wider social and cultural violence. Sadomasochism, Popular Culture and Revolt will be of great interest to scholars of gay and lesbian studies and queer studies, while being a vital text for undergraduate and graduate instructors of social movement studies in sociology, political science, American Studies, and history.Table of ContentsPreface 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Restorative Responses to Sexual Violence
Book SynopsisSexual violence, in all its forms, is a crime for which anecdotal accounts and scholarly reports suggest victims in their great majority do not receive adequate justice' or redress. The theory and practice of restorative justice is rapidly developing and offers some well-argued new avenues for dealings with crime in general. It has the potential to be extended to cases of sexual violence and a number of small scale programmes are already underway across the world. Restorative Responses to Sexual Violence examines this innovative justice paradigm in more depth in the particular context of sexual trauma and violence in order to establish the empirical realities of restorative justice approaches in cases of sexual violence, and considers how such approaches could be developed adequately in the future. This book is divided into two parts, each representing a key area of research and practice: theoretical and conceptual frameworks, and justice and therapeutic perspectives.<Trade Review"This is a brave edited collection. The juxtaposition of restorative justice with sexual violence is an emotive topic and this collection faces the problems and the possibilities inherent in doing so with care, craft and thought. It brings together international expertise and will be of interest to an international audience. The editors are to be congratulated for putting such a valuable collection together that deserves to be read by a wide audience of practitioners, researchers and academics."Sandra Walklate, Eleanor Rathbone Chair of Sociology, University of Liverpool, Professor of Criminology, Monash University, Australia, and Adjunct Professor School of Justice, Queensland University of Technology, Australia"This important book represents a major step forward in understanding the harms of sexual assault and the profound needs that survivors have in its aftermath. Presenting research from around the world, the authors examine how restorative justice may both meet and fail to meet these needs. In my view, this remarkable collection will guide work on this topic for many years to come."James Ptacek, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology, Suffolk University, USATable of ContentsRestorative responses to sexual violence: an introduction, Estelle Zinsstag and Marie Keenan Part I: Theoretical and conceptual frameworks 1.
