Rape in Wartime

Front Cover
R. Branche, F. Virgili
Springer, Oct 26, 2012 - History - 237 pages
This collection offers a new reflection on rape in war time through 15 case studies, ranging from Greece to Nigeria. It questions the specificity of rape as a universal transgression, its place in memories of war, its legacies, including children born from rape, and the challenge of writing about intimate violence as both a scientist and a human.
