Beschreibung:
This book explores the persistence of violence in conflict zones in Africa using a political economy framework to situate violence against women and men in the context of criminal, corrupt, and violent economies. The political economy approach employs an analysis of violence on both edges of the spectrum-a macro-economic analysis of violence against workers and a micro-political analysis of the violence in women's reproductive lives.
