Gender Inclusive offers a challenging and unconventional reinterpretation of gender and mass violence.
Compiling essays and excerpts drawn from nearly two decades of Adam Jones’s writing on gender and politics, this stimulating and diverse collection of essays explores vital issues surrounding ‘gendercide’ (gender-selective mass killing) including:
-
- How gender shapes men and women as victims and perpetrators of mass violence, including genocide.
-
- The range of gender-selective atrocities inflicted upon males, especially the gendercidal killing of civilian men of "battle age."
-
- The victimization of women and girls worldwide, including the structural forms of violence ("gendercidal institutions") directed against them.
-
- Genocidal violence throughout modern history, with a particular focus on the Balkans and Rwanda.
-
- In-depth critiques of prevailing gender framings in academic scholarship, mass media, and the policy sphere.
Adam Jones – recently selected as "one of fifty key thinkers in Holocaust and genocide studies" – contests prevailing interpretations of gender and violence, arguing that they fail to capture the broad range of gendered experience. His global-historical treatment is essential reading for anyone with an interest in genocide, human rights and gender studies.
Adam Jones was born in Singapore in 1963, and grew up in England and Canada. He is currently Associate Research Fellow in the Genocide Studies Program at Yale University. He holds an M.A. from McGill University and a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, both in political science. He has edited two volumes on genocide: Gendercide and Genocide (Vanderbilt University Press, 2004) and Genocide, War Crimes & the West: History and Complicity (Zed Books, 2004). He has also published two books on the media and political transition. His scholarly articles have appeared in Review of International Studies, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Journal of Genocide Research, Journal of Human Rights, and other publications. He is cofounder and executive director of Gendercide Watch (www.gendercide.org), a web-based educational initiative that confronts gender-selective atrocities worldwide. Jones has lived and travelled in over 60 countries on every populated continent.
