Contributor(s): Lahai, John Idriss | Moyo, Khanyisela.
Series: Crossing boundaries of gender and politics in the global south. Publisher: Cham Palgrave Macmillan 2018Description: xix, 272p.ISBN: 9783319542010.Subject(s): Transitional justice -- Post-conflict societies -- Women -- Legal status -- Women's rights -- Human rights -- Gender -- Nation-buildingDDC classification: 320.01 Summary: This volume counters one-sided dominant discursive representations of gender in human rights and transitional justice, and women's place in the transformations of neoliberal human rights, and contributes a more balanced examination of how transitional justice and human rights institutions and political institutions impact the lives and experiences of women. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the contributors to this volume theorize and historicize the place of women's rights (and gender), situating it within contemporary country-specific political, legal, socio-cultural and global contexts. Chapters examine the progress and challenges facing women (and women's groups) in transitioning countries: from Peru to Argentina, from Kenya to Sierra Leone, and from Bosnia to Sri Lanka, in a variety of contexts, attending especially to the relationships between local and global forces.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
