Overview

EPUB and EPDF available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. What is feminist peace? How can we advocate for peace from patriarchy? What do women, globally, advocate for when they use the term 'peace'? This edited collection brings together conversations across borders and boundaries to explore plural, intersectional and interdisciplinary concepts of feminist peace. The book includes contributions from a geographically diverse range of scholars, judges, practitioners and activists, and the chapters cut across themes of movement building and resistance and explore the limits of institutionalized peacebuilding. The chapters deal with a range of issues, such as environmental degradation, militarization, online violence and arms spending. Offering a resource to advance theoretical development and to advocate for policy change, this book transcends traditional approaches to the study of peace and security and embraces diverse voices and perspectives which are absent in both academic and policy spaces.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"In a world increasingly shaped by violence, these thoughtful deliberations on feminist peace – and what its conceptualizations entail in practice – are valuable for both researchers and practitioners.” Soumita Basu, South Asian University

“Feminist peace is an ambitious but promising concept. In this innovative volume, diverse feminist practitioners and scholars share their visions for feminist peace and how to achieve them every day in the face of myriad global and local challenges. The volume will be an inspiring text in any course focused on peace and security issues and the study of feminist theory and practice.” Jacqui True, Monash University

“This book interrogates power. The Global North preached peace and sold arms, after Apartheid’s patriarchal and capitalist war.” Pregs Govender, Former Human Rights Commissioner, MP, Trade Union Educator and Teacher
