Infos

In War through an Intersectional Lens, author Keshab Giri looks at how women combatants experience "e;pre-war,"e; "e;war,"e;and "e;post-war"e; both in public and private spheres by using intersectionality bothas a theoretical framework and methodological tool. Featuring thirty-nine in-depth interviews with Maoist femaleex-combatants, their leaders, and experts in Nepal between 2017 and 2018, this book is complemented by extensivearchival research, wide-ranging primary and secondary sources such as key Maoist statements and policy documents from the war era, memoirs of women ex-combatants, media sources, and academic literature. Giri ultimately finds that female combatants experiences of pre-war,> war, and post-war, both in public and private spheres, are conditioned by their interlocking systems of oppression and identities such as class, caste, ethnicity, social status, educational status, and geographical location. He makes animportant contribution to the feminist IR literature, feminist security studies, and makes significant policy implications, particularly concerning reintegration of female combatants, peacebuilding, and the Women Peace and Security agenda.
