Contributors to this volume examine the many ways in which gendered violence mirrors, expresses, projects and articulates the larger phenomenon of human rights violations in Africa and the African diaspora and how, in turn, the discourse of human rights informs the ways in which we articulate, interrogate, conceptualise and interpret gendered violence in literature and film. The book also shines a light on the linguistic contradictions and ambiguities in the articulation of gendered violence in private spaces and war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be essential reading for scholars, critics, feminists, teachers and students seeking solid grounding in exploring gendered violence and human rights in theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNaomi Nkealah\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer in English in the School of Education at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObioma Nnaemeka is Chancellor's Professor of French, Africana Studies and Women's\/Gender Studies at Indiana University, Indianapolis, USA.
