At the same time, both boast long histories of resisting such violence and its location in wider cultures of patriarchy, settler colonialism and class and caste privilege.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the lens of the #MeToo moment, the book tracks histories of feminist organising in both countries, while also revealing how newer strategies extended or limited these struggles. \u003ci\u003eIntimacy and injury \u003c\/i\u003eis a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south. In proposing comparative, interdisciplinary, ethnographically rich and analytically astute reflections on #MeToo, it provides new and potentially transformative directions to scholarly debates this book builds transnational feminist knowledge and solidarity in and across the global south.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The contributors have relied on intersectionality, transnationalism, inclusivity, and reflexivity in their exploration of the landscape of violence and violation in India and South Africa.'\u003cbr\u003eIpshita Mitra, Feminism in India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This brilliant collection brings together incisive and critical accounts of feminist organising, written by, for and from scholars of colour from India and South Africa. By refuting the claim that #MeToo has travelled to the Global South, the book suggests the need for a radical re-imagining of the raced, classed gender politics of sexual violence at scalar level and offers a different perspective “from the margins”.'\u003cbr\u003eSweta Rajan-Rankin, \u003ci\u003eThe Sociological Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003ci\u003eIntimacy and injury\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south.'\u003cbr\u003eGary Edwards, Institute of Development Studies 'Must Reads of 2022'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The call for collaborative work across disciplines, modalities and other spaces of knowledge unrecognised by the academy is clearly a priority for decolonial, feminist and queer scholarship. The book models this admirably, it is threaded through with art, images and poetry, both in the chapters and in the reflective pieces that so poignantly draw the sections together. This is indeed a strength of this book which also presents us with a rich account of #MeToo and other feminist activisms within these two global Southern contexts, offering an important contribution to the larger scholarship around #MeToo and extending the lens of the recent international handbook (Chandra and Erlingsdóttir, 2021) which, while providing a valuable and wide scan of geopolitical contexts, included a minority of global Southern voices.'\u003cbr\u003eTamara Shefer, \u003ci\u003eFeminist Encounters \u003c\/i\u003e(6(2), 34)\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction:Intimacy, injury and #MeToo in India and South Africa - Srila Roy, Nicky Falkof and Shilpa Phadke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Pre-histories\u003cbr\u003e1 South Africa’s own ‘Delhi moment’: news coverage of the murders of Jyoti Singh and Anene Booysen - Nechama Brodie\u003cbr\u003e2 Hokkolorob, campus politics and the pre-histories of #MeToo - Paromita Chakravarti and Jhelum Roy\u003cbr\u003e3 Reading in-between the sheets: in conversation about SWEAT’s #SayHerName - Ntokozo Yingwana and Nosipho Vidima\u003cbr\u003eReflection: ‘When will the State be #MeToo’d?’ - Jyotsna Siddharth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II MeToo’s silences\u003cbr\u003e4 Moments of Erasure of the testimonies of sexual violence against Dalit women - Rupali Bansode\u003cbr\u003e5 #Metoo and the troubling of the rural public sphere in India: a feminist media house reports from the hinterland - Disha Mullick\u003cbr\u003e6 Contesting the meaning\/s of sexual violence in the South African postcolony: where are the male victims? - Louise du Toit\u003cbr\u003e7 Rebuilding precarious solidarities: a feminist debate in internet time - Shilpa Phadke\u003cbr\u003eReflection: Progressive men and Predatory Practices - Jessica Breakey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III Institutional locations: The university and the State\u003cbr\u003e8 #EndRapeCulture and #MeToo: of intersectionality, rage and injury - Amanda Gouws\u003cbr\u003e9 From harassment to transgression: understanding changes in the legal landscape of sexual harassment in India - Rukmini Sen\u003cbr\u003e10 Feminism and fallism in institutions: in conversation with Jackie Dugard - Zuziwe Khuzwayo and Ragi Bashonga\u003cbr\u003eReflection: Beyond the media storm: on sexual harassment in the news and the newsrooms - Nithila Kanagasabai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart IV: Affect and aesthetics\u003cbr\u003e11 Fury, pain, resentment … and fierceness: configurations of con\/destructive affective activism in women’s organising - Peace Kiguwa\u003cbr\u003e12 Queer feminism and India’s #MeToo - Jaya Sharma\u003cbr\u003e13 Fugitive aesthetics: performing refusal in four acts - Swati Arora\u003cbr\u003eReflection: ‘Gay boys don’t cry when we’re raped’: queer shame and secrecy - Jamil F.
