Bringing Peace Home

"This collection of works is ambitious, well documented, thoroughly -- though not turgidly -- referenced, and comprehensively indexed. It is deeply disturbing and deeply engaging... " -- Australian Feminist StudiesContributors discuss the subtle and complex relationships between various notions of "feminism" and "peace." Feminist peace issues are explored along a wide spectrum of personal and political issues -- from the personal violations of rape, incest, and domestic abuse, to the violence of racism, sexism, economic exploitation, war, and genocide.
