The Law of War and Peace
The Law of War and Peace offers a cutting-edge analysis of the relationship between law, armed conflict, gender and peace. This book, which is the first of two volumes, focuses on the interplay between international law and gendered experiences of armed conflict. It provides an in-depth analysis of the key debates on collective security, unilateral force, the laws governing conflict, terrorism and international criminal law. While much of the current scholarship has centered on the UN Security Council's Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security, this two-volume work seeks to move understandings beyond the framework established by WPS. It does this through providing a critical and intersectional approach to gender and conflict which is mindful of transnational feminist and queer perspectives.
Women in European Holocaust Films
This book considers how women’s experiences have been treated in films dealing with Nazi persecution. Focusing on fiction films made in Europe between 1945 and the present, this study explores dominant discourses on and cinematic representation of women as perpetrators, victims and resisters. Ingrid Lewis contends that European Holocaust Cinema underwent a rich and complex trajectory of change with regard to the representation of women. This change both reflects and responds to key socio-cultural developments in the intervening decades as well as to new directions in cinema, historical research and politics of remembrance. The book will appeal to international scholars, students and educators within the fields of Holocaust Studies, Film Studies, European Cinema and Women’s Studies.
Women and Nazis
War atrocities cannot be segregated by gender and gender cannot be ignored when analyzing the crimes that culminated in the Third Reich's attempt to eradicate European Jewry and other ¿suspect¿ nationalities and ethnic groups such as the Roma. Despite the Nazis masculine-oriented policies towards Aryan German women many women sought ways to become involved in Hitler's party and government. Professor Sarti's remarkable research discusses the women who not only agreed with the Nazi Weltanschauung but took an active part in mass genocide. Scholarship has tended to fundementally overlook or dismiss the actions of this group; Sarti brings then to the fore of her remarkable investigation into th...
Women as Nazis: Female Perpetrators of the Holocaust
Wendy Adele-Marie's study of Nazi women as guards, overseers, and others who worked in the concentration and death camps during the genocide and Holocaust of the Second World War is an invaluable addition to a growing body of scholarship on women as victims and-in this case-perpetrators of genocide and Holocaust. This book is based on years of wide-ranging research in archives, personal accounts, biographies, scholarly works, and trial records. It is one of the most comprehensive and perceptive analyses of why Nazism appealed to so many German women and why hundreds of these women turned into "killing machines" in the concentration and death camps during the Second World War. Her analysis of...
Women as Wartime Rapists
Women as Wartime Rapists reveals the stories of female perpetrators of sexual violence and their place in wartime conflict, legal policy, and the punishment of sexual violence. Very few women are wartime rapists. Very few women issue commands to commit sexual violence. Very few women play a role in making war plans that feature the intentional sexual violation of other women. This book is about those very few women. More broadly, Laura Sjoberg asks, what do the actions and perceptions of female perpetrators of sexual violence reveal about our broader conceptions of war, violence, sexual assault, and gender? This book explores specific historical case studies, such as Nazi Germany, Serbia, th...
Nazi Wives
What exactly was the level of power and influence wielded by the wives of the virtually all male Nazi higher echelons? Were the wives of Frank, Heydrich and Hoss ,to mention but a few, merely loyal apolitical hausfraus or were these women actually very able regime insiders able to determine policy and execute decisions very much of their own choosing and making? Dr Sarti's new study focuses on some of the wives of the most powerful men in the Reich as well as several who were directly administrating the Holocaust (Hoss and Eichmann). Among the key figures discussed are Brigitte Frank (the self-styled German Queen of Poland),Lina Heydrich, Gerda Bormann, Hedwig Hoss, Magda Goebbels ,Margarete...
