L’empowerment, s’il constitue un concept fort utilisé de nos jours, n’en demeure pas moins peu documenté en langue française. Ce livre constitue un traité étoffé sur cette question et propose une façon particulière d’intervenir auprès des personnes et de leurs communautés. Il appelle à une intervention sociale et une action communautaire renouvelées en regard de la pauvreté et de l’exclusion. L'empowerment est une approche stratégique qui vise à soutenir les efforts des personnes et des communautés pour développer ou retrouver leur capacité d'action autonome. Ce livre s'adresse aux personnes qui enseignent, étudient, interviennent ou dirigent des organisations dans le réseau tant communautaire que public. Elles y trouveront matière à améliorer leurs pratiques, notamment par l’approfondissement des assises théoriques de ce concept, par une meilleure compréhension des processus à l’œuvre et par une réflexion sur les enjeux de l'application de l'empowerment dans l'intervention.

Fallgirls provides an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib in terms of social theory, gender and power, based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts-martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. This book examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, Fallgirls engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike.
