Interconnecting the Violences of Men

<p>This book aims to expand and enrich understandings of violences by focusing on gendered continuities interconnections and intersections across multiple forms and manifestations of men’s violence. In actively countering both the compartmentalisation of studies of violence by ‘type’ and form and the tendency to conceptualise violence narrowly it aims to flesh out – not delimit – understandings of violence.</p><p>Bringing together cross-disciplinary indeed transdisciplinary perspectives this book addresses how –what are often seen as – specific and separate violences connect closely and intricately with wider understandings of violence how there are gendered continuities between violences and how gendered violences take many forms and manifestations and are themselves intersectional. Grounded by the recognition that violence is itself a form of inequality the contributors to this volume traverse the intersectional complexities across both experiences of violent inequality and what is seen to ‘count’ as violence.</p><p>The international scope of this book will be of interest to students and academics across many fields including sociology criminology psychology social work politics gender studies child and youth studies military and peace studies environmental studies and colonial studies as well as practitioners activists and policymakers engaged in violence prevention.</p>
