About this product
Product Information
Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores takes the suggestion in Mothers, Monsters, Whores that it is important to see genderings in characterizations of violent women, and to use critique of those genderings to retheorize individual violence in global politics. It begins by demonstrating the interdependence of the personal and international levels of global politics in violent women's lives, but then shows that this interdependence is inaccurately depicted in gender-subordinating narratives of women's violence. Such narratives, the authors argue, are not only normatively problematic on the surface but also intersect with other identifiers, such as race, religion, and geopolitical location.

Reviews
Gentry and Sjoberg add to their extensive research into questions of gender and violence in global conflict. . . . [They] are not interested in the hows-and-whys of extralegal political violence, but ask, rather: 'what is political violence? What are women? What are the relationships between those concepts?', "This new edition falls within 'feminist IR (international relations), a subfield of political science seeking to analyze gender in global politics. Rather than view women as idealized or as victims, feminist IR seeks to examine women's agency amid violence and terrorism. The authors analyze secondary sources, without romanticizing or condoning violence, to critique portrayals of violent women as mothers ('fulfilling biological destinies'), monsters ('pathologically damaged'), and/or whores ('inspired by sexual dependence and depravity'). Most case studies come from western Asia and Eurasia. . . . Recommended." , 'A brilliant analysis that further complicates social fantasies that deny women's capacities to do things men have the capacity to do, and a welcome extension of the path-breaking research Gentry and Sjoberg began in their first edition. Compelling and convincing.'Cynthia Weber, University of Sussex'Beyond Mothers, Monsters Whores reminds us that patriarchal narratives concocted and wielded by both media and states serve to distract us from the actual gendered causes and consequences of collective violence and militaristic cultures.
