Description
Politicisation of Sexual Violence: from Abolitionism to Peacekeeping. 2010. Carol Harrington. Surrey: Ashgate Publishing Limited 239pp ISBN 9780754674580 (hbk) In her book the Politicisation of sexual violence from abolitionist to peace keeping, Carol Harrington questions the assumption that the post 1990s surge in the politicization of sexual violence was as a result of the success of feminist activists in breaking down the sexist indifference and silence to the issue of rape. The book argues that the escalation in the international attention paid to sexual violence can be explained in the growth in trauma science and the decline of socialist intellectualism in post 1990s. Without diminishing the contribution of the feminist movement towards the successes of the post 1990 efforts in bring sexual violence into political reckoning, the book takes a critical point of departure where the successes in international policy and political interventions in sexual violence issues is linked to the achievement of feminists in "overcoming sexist silence" on issues of rape (p 2). This presents new theoretical opportunities in the problemitisation of rape and sexual violence as a gender issue in the 21st century, as the work concretizes the significance of authenticating rape as a medical, ethical and human rights problem.
