In taking gender and globalisation seriously, anyone who reads this book can no longer claim that they did not know about the ways in which criminology's domain assumptions around both of these concepts has served to frame debates on violence in particular. This book challenges those assumptions and lays down the gauntlet for us all to think differently about these issues. An absolute must-read for anyone claiming the label "criminologist". - Professor Sandra Walklate, Eleanor Rathbone Chair of Sociology, Department of Sociology, University of Liverpool, UK In this provocative book, Carrington adds a much needed global dimension to feminist criminology and convincingly demonstrates why "the world needs feminism more than ever." Feminism and Global Justice features hard-hitting case studies from Asia, Australia, Argentina, and beyond to illustrate how the complex global and contextual production of both masculinities and femininities fosters violence and victimization, often in unique and surprising ways. Highlighting the value of transnational feminist intersectionality, she passionately urges academics and social change agents to see beyond essentialism, the metropole, the nation state, and the West if we are to effectively pursue global justice. - Nancy A. Wonders, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Northern Arizona University, Arizona, USA 'This book, published as part of the series New Directions in Critical Criminology, edited by Walter Dekeseredy, stands head and shoulders above the rest. [] It is an ambitious book. [...] It is written well and written with authority. More importantly it marks a real gear change in criminological debates and its claims to have a grasp on either gendered violence or justice []' - Sandra Walklate, International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, 2015 Vol 4, No 1: 134-135 'Feminism and Global Justice simultaneously provides an overview of the global problem of violence against women while challenging the monolithic understanding of the issue... Carrington packs the chapters with specific examples that relate to the broader patterns she is highlighting making it a dynamic read that is appealing to scholars and students alike.'Victoria E. Collins, Critical Criminology "The book is a provocation, or a challenge to critical and feminist criminologists, to develop a truly global feminist criminology which does more than simply export theory and analysis from the major metropolitan centres of Europe and the USA The scope and ambition of this book, written by a significant figure in contemporary criminology, make it an important intervention in current debates, particularly among critical and feminist criminologists." - Tanya Serisier, Queens University Belfast, UK, Punishment and Society
