The Body of War – Media, Ethnicity, and Gender in the Break–up of Yugoslavia: Next Wave: New Directions in Women's Studies

Autor Dubravka Zarkov
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2007
Analyses representations of female and male bodies in the Croatian and Serbian press in the late 1980s, and in early 1990s during the war in which Yugoslavia disintegrated. This book proposes that the Balkan war was not a war between ethnic groups; rather, ethnicity was produced by the war itself.

Recenzii

"Theoretically sophisticated and passionately argued, The Body of War shows how women's (and men's) bodies are implicated in the war in former Yugoslavia and its aftermath. Dubravka earkov courageously goes where others have feared to tread, rejecting too-easy assumptions that this was just a conflict between ethnic groups. Her book is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the ways gender and sexuality intersect to produce differences in ethnicity, thereby creating the pretext and the context for conflict and war."--Kathy Davis, author of The Making of Our Bodies, Ourselves: How Feminism Travels across Borders "Dubravka earkov's remarkable book brings new insights to bear on the feminist theorizing of war. Nuanced, complex, lucid, and empirically grounded, earkov's powerful combination of the insider's understanding, passion, and emotional attachment with the academic's distance and rigor, makes this a hard-to-put-down read."--Urvashi Butalia, author of The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India
