In this thoroughly revised second edition, expert researchers from a range of disciplines interrogate the relationship between gender and violence. Divided into three thematic sections covering concepts, representations and contexts, this Handbook connects micro-level interpersonal violence to macro-level structural forms.Including both new and updated chapters, the contributors analyse varied demonstrations of gender violence as well as the inequalities exacerbated by economic influences, climate change and settler colonialism. They assess intersectionality, race and sexualities across diverse economic and juridical backgrounds, elaborating on the tools used in discussions of gendered oppression. The Handbook incorporates a representational focus on the display of gender violence in popular culture, films, news media and photography. Contributors provide transnational perspectives, exploring the connection of gender and violence to various contemporary issues including the military, post-conflict settings, social movements and criminal justice.Multidisciplinary in scope, this Handbook is a vital resource for scholars and students of gender studies, development studies, international relations, sociology and human rights. It is also of interest to researchers new to the area for its in-depth overview of the topic.
