This edited volume critically investigates women’s knowledge about war and explores the epistemic agency of women in a range of contemporary settings across the globe.Women are deeply affected by war, participate in war and resist war. At the same time, knowledge production often ignores and marginalizes women’s experiences and gendered ways of knowing war. From Colombia to Israel and Palestine, Liberia, Mali, Myanmar, Nepal, North America, Northern Iraq and Ukraine, the chapters in this book illuminate gendered knowledge production in and about different conflict-affected sites. By taking the embodied and narrative epistemic agency of local ‘knowers’ seriously, new insights are thereby presented about the role women play in producing knowledge about war. This book proposes new theoretical vantage points in order to understand how epistemic power and epistemic violence are closely related. Bringing the topic of knowledge production into the so-called ‘Women, Peace and Security’ (WPS) agenda, it analyses how knowledge of the gendered nature of war and security is produced and circulated, and argues that the WPS agenda is a system of knowledge with its own omissions and silences. By theorizing gendered knowledge production and amplifying the voices of women as epistemic agents, this book advances scholarship on gender and war.This book will be of much interest to students of feminist studies, peace studies, war and conflict studies and International Relations.The Introduction, Chapter 3, and Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 license.

Analyzes the narrative agency of women who have come forward to break silences around wartime atrocitiesIn Troubling Testimonies, Annika Björkdahl, Kristine Höglund, and Johanna Mannergren explore the power of women's voices in the aftermath of war. Demonstrating the importance of personal testimony, this book analyzes the narrative agency of women who have courageously come forward to shatter gendered silences around wartime atrocities and who have produced crucial new knowledge about women's experiences of war and its aftermath. Employing a feminist lens, the authors highlight women's powerful testimonies from different post-war contexts; Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, and Iraq. They examine how these testimonies provide insight into complex forms of gender-based violence, such as wartime rapes in Rwanda and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the enslavement of young Yazidi women at the hands of ISIS, and the trauma of "secondary witnessing" in Sri Lanka. Most importantly, they examine how the act of testifying provides agency to the women themselves. The book develops an innovative theoretical framework for understanding narrative agency, offering scholars and practitioners a new tool for analyzing how testimony contributes to transitional justice, peace and transformation after war.

This important book provides new understandings of how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from a violent past. It does so by developing a theoretical approach focusing on the intersection of sites, agency, narratives, and events in memory-making. Drawing on rich empirical studies of mnemonic formations in Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, South Africa and Cambodia, the book speaks to a broad audience. The in-depth, cross-case analysis shows that inclusivity, pluralism, and dignity in memory politics are key to the construction of a just peace. The book contributes crucial and timely knowledge about societies that grapple with the painful legacies of the past and advances the study of memory and peace.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.
