Critical Feminist Justpeace
In Critical Feminist Justpeace, Karie Cross Riddle presents an intersectional revision to conflict transformation, arguing that we need complementary theories and practices of gender-conscious peacebuilding for regions and conflicts that formal peacebuilding institutions and agendas cannot reach. Introducing a novel theoretical framework and drawing on fieldwork in Manipur, India, Riddle makes the case that we need norms and processes for feminist peacebuilding that can flexibly respond to the particularities of national and local politics and social context. Original and insightful, Riddle's theoretical framework serves as a flexible guide for women's local peacebuilding work.
