Abstract

"Female combatants in conflict and peace explores the gendered dynamics of engagement in conflict and post-conflict peace processes. It seeks to contribute to the growing body of literature on the intersection of gender, conflict, and peace by specifically focusing on a particular group of women female combatants who pose a challenge to conventional attitudes towards the gendered relationship between violence and peace. In critically scrutinising the role of female combatants in conflict and peace, this edited volume identifies key questions: what role do women play in conflict situations, and what are their experiences of engagement with violence? Where are the female combatants positioned in post-conflict peace and reintegration processes? Through an examination of theory and practice of women's participation in violent conflicts, this study makes the argument that both conflict and post-conflict situations are gender insensitive"--Back cover.
