Gender Inclusive offers a challenging and unconventional reinterpretation of gender and mass violence.Compiling essays and excerpts drawn from nearly two decades of Adam Jones’s writing on gender and politics, this stimulating and diverse collection of essays explores vital issues surrounding ‘gendercide’ (gender-selective mass killing) including:
1. How gender shapes men and women as victims and perpetrators of mass violence, including genocide.
2. The range of gender-selective atrocities inflicted upon males, especially the gendercidal killing of civilian men of "battle age."
3. The victimization of women and girls worldwide, including the structural forms of violence ("gendercidal institutions") directed against them.
4. Genocidal violence throughout modern history, with a particular focus on the Balkans and Rwanda.
5. In-depth critiques of prevailing gender framings in academic scholarship, mass media, and the policy sphere.
