Beskrivning
Africa as a continent, which holds strong to its patriarchal cultural principles and practices, is known for its blatant display of violent abuse of women, including state-sanctioned violence, and its lax approach to national legislative policies and international treaties against violence against women. Using data from Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe, this edited collection showcases a variety of experiences and perspectives in the international comparative study of violence against women of African ancestry. This approach provides the context for examining the problem of violence against women, including its policy and practice responses (if any), as it impacts women of African origin in different parts of the world. This book is of value to those interested in African studies, criminology, gender studies, sociology, and many more.

Recensioner i media

Violence against Women of African Descent testifies to the established track record of Anita Kalunta-Crumpton as an editor who has carved a niche in Pan African Studies by collegially collecting contributions from around the world to cover relatively neglected fields of study. In this book, she demonstrates that violence against women is a global epidemic that does not attract the deserved scholarly attention anywhere and especially when the victimized are marginalized women of African descent. The original contribution of the book is a timely reminder that violence against women is a violation against all of humanity because such violence, when tolerated, tends to escalate violent crimes and intensify the structural violence that accompanies racist-imperialist-patriarchy in societies structured in dominance. Violence against women anywhere is therefore a threat of violence against all of humanity everywhere, to paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.
