Description

Africa as a continent, which holds strong to its patriarchal cultural principles and practices, is known for its blatant display of violent abuse of women, including state-sanctioned violence, and its lax approach to national legislative policies and international treaties against violence against women. Using data from Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe, this edited collection showcases a variety of experiences and perspectives in the international comparative study of violence against women of African ancestry. This approach provides the context for examining the problem of violence against women, including its policy and practice responses (if any), as it impacts women of African origin in different parts of the world. This book is of value to those interested in African studies, criminology, gender studies, sociology, and many more.

Violence against Women of African Descent testifies to the established track record of Anita Kalunta-Crumpton as an editor who has carved a niche in Pan African Studies by collegially collecting contributions from around the world to cover relatively neglected fields of study. In this book, she demonstrates that violence against women is a global epidemic that does not attract the deserved scholarly attention anywhere and especially when the victimized are marginalized women of African descent. The original contribution of the book is a timely reminder that violence against women is a violation against all of humanity because such violence, when tolerated, tends to escalate violent crimes and intensify the structural violence that accompanies racist-imperialist-patriarchy in societies structured in dominance. Violence against women anywhere is therefore a threat of violence against all of humanity everywhere, to paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.

Onwubiko Agozino, Virginia Tech
In a unique collection that includes contributions from countries and populations that so far have not told their gender victimization stories, Kalunta-Crumpton has produced an original volume that reveals the many facets of violent victimization of women of African ancestry. This book provides insightful discussions and analyses of forms of gender violence in sixteen countries spread over four continents. From Morocco to Zimbabwe, to immigrant African communities in Australia, Europe, and the United States, contributors analyze the experiences of hard-to-reach and often silenced populations regarding their gender-related violence—physical, emotional, communal, and societal. This important edited collection is highly recommended for students in sociology, criminology, and legal, African, and gender studies, as well as the general public.
