Alexandra
Stiglmayer
interviewed
survivors
of
the
continuing
war
in
Bosnia-Herzegovina
in
order
to
reveal,
to
a
seemingly
deaf
world,
the
horrors
of
the
ongoing
war
in
the
former
Yugoslavia.
The
women—primarily
of
Muslim
but
also
of
Croatian
and
Serbian
origin—have
endured
the
atrocities
of
rape
and
the
loss
of
loved
ones.
Their
testimony,
published
in
the
1993
German
edition,
is
bare,
direct,
and
its
cumulative
effect
overwhelming.
The
first
English
edition
contains
Stiglmayer's
updates
to
her
own
two
essays,
one
detailing
the
historical
context
of
the
current
conflict
and
the
other
presenting
the
core
of
the
book,
interviews
with
some
twenty
victims
of
rape
as
well
as
interviews
with
three
Serbian
perpetrators.
Essays
investi-gating
mass
rape
and
war
from
ethnopsychological,
sociological,
cultural,
and
medical
perspectives
are
included.
New essays by Catharine A. MacKinnon, Rhonda Copelon, and Susan Brownmiller address the crucial issues of recognizing the human rights of women and children. A foreword by Roy Gutman describes war crimes within the context of the UN Tribunal, and an afterword by Cynthia Enloe relates the mass rapes of this war to developments and reactions in the international women's movement.
Accounts of torture, murder, mutilation, abduction, sexual enslavement, and systematic attempts to impregnate—all in the name of "ethnic cleansing"—make for the grimmest of reading. However brutal and appalling the information conveyed here, this book cannot and should not be ignored.

Descriere
Alexandra Stiglmayer interviewed survivors of the continuing war in Bosnia-Herzegovina in order to reveal, to a seemingly deaf world, the horrors of the ongoing war in the former Yugoslavia. The women—primarily of Muslim but also of Croatian and Serbian origin—have endured the atrocities of rape and the loss of loved ones. Their testimony, published in the 1993 German edition, is bare, direct, and its cumulative effect overwhelming. The first English edition contains Stiglmayer's updates to her own two essays, one detailing the historical context of the current conflict and the other presenting the core of the book, interviews with some twenty victims of rape as well as interviews with three Serbian perpetrators. Essays investi-gating mass rape and war from ethnopsychological, sociological, cultural, and medical perspectives are included.
