Autor Keshab Giri
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mai 2025
In War through an Intersectional Lens, author Keshab Giri looks at how women combatants experience “pre-war,” “war,”and “post-war” both in public and private spheres by using intersectionality bothas a theoretical framework and methodological tool. Featuring thirty-nine in-depth interviews with Maoist femaleex-combatants, their leaders, and experts in Nepal between 2017 and 2018, this book is complemented by extensivearchival research, wide-ranging primary and secondary sources such as key Maoist statements and policy documents from the war era, memoirs of women ex-combatants, media sources, and academic literature.Giri ultimately finds that female combatants’ experiences of “pre-war,> “war,” and “post-war,” both in public and private spheres, are conditioned by their interlocking systems of oppression and identities such as class, caste, ethnicity, social status, educational status, and geographical location. He makes animportant contribution to the feminist IR literature, feminist security studies, and makes significant policy implications, particularly concerning reintegration of female combatants, peacebuilding, and the Women Peace and Security agenda.

Recenzii

“Treating the experiences of his interlocutors with deep sensitivity and care, Keshab Giri presents a nuanced and complex analysis of women's agency in conflict and post-conflict reconstruction in Nepal. Giri pays particular attention to the non-coercive governance of marriage and sexuality, demonstrating how the 'private sphere' of intimate relations is imbricated and implicated in the lives of female combatants. This book expertly deploys an intersectional approach to the dynamics of wars and their endings and will be of interest to anyone studying gender, agency, and violent conflict.” -Laura J. Shepherd, The University of Sydney
“Keshab Giri has written an exciting and rich feminist analysis that connects the political and private lives of female rebels and pushes discussions of female rebel group activity beyond tired binary notions of 'victim' and 'agents.' Using thoughtful and reflexive methodologies, this book does not just use the rhetoric of intersectionality, but truly illustrates how class, race, and caste shape female rebels' motivations, wartime contributions, and lives post-war.” -Megan H. MacKenzie, Simon Fraser University
“Groundbreaking in every sense. War through an Intersectional Lens demonstrates a robust understanding of the lives of female combatants and how they transition from war to peace. He sensitively draws out the complexity of the experiences of women combatants and how they navigate, resist and accommodate the labels assigned to them as women which are always defined by class, caste, ethnicity, social status, educational status, and geographical location. This book makes an important contribution to the feminist IR literature, feminist security studies, reconciliation literature and has significant policy implications, particularly concerning reintegration, demobilisation and demilitarization of female combatants in places of conflict. This book challenges the 'politics of silences' surrounding the everyday experiences of women combatants in war.” -Azrini Wahidin, The University of Sydney
