While the country has experienced a rise in queer activism, especially toward human rights efforts, members of the Guyanese queer community have also been victims of extreme violence. This book asks how a hetero-patriarchal state shapes queer and \"women-lovin' women's\" experiences, and how such women navigate racialized, sexualized, and homophobic violence. With a unique focus on the lives of queer women in Guyana, it reveals their manifold experiences of violence, explores regional differences, and shows their complicated understanding of what exactly constitutes \"rights\" and the limitations of those rights in their lives. While activism against violence is crucial, this book addresses not only the violence \u003ci\u003eagainst \u003c\/i\u003ewomen, but theorizes the intimate partner violence \u003ci\u003ebetween\u003c\/i\u003e women, and demonstrates the ways that violence is both racialized and sexualized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePREITY KUMAR\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of gender and women's studies at the University of Rhode Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8.98 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47685135401181,"sku":"9781978819047","price":52.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/ClIS5VLqcP9781978819047_bbe861be-a913-44e3-ae40-c7de4ab177a8.webp?v=1774007684","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/an-ordinary-landscape-of-violence-women-loving-women-in-guyana-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
