- Title
Book Review: Violence in Everyday Life: Power, Gender, and Sexuality by Aliraza Javaid.
- Authors
Felix, Shanna
- Abstract
In chapter one, "Contextualizing and Understanding Masculinities and Sexualities", Dr Javaid begins by broadly summarizing several historical perspectives of the construction of gender and sexuality, especially with the ideological divide between biological positivistic and social constructivist views of gender. In chapters two through six, Dr Javaid deconstructs several different types of "gendered" violence by critically evaluating the literature on each (particularly sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and violence motivated by hate). Although much of the book is centered primarily in the United Kingdom, Dr Javaid does bring in many examples and cases from outside of the United Kingdom (including the entirety of chapter seven).
