- Summary
- An interdisciplinary feminist perspective grounded in original ethnographic research on everyday forms of violence in El Salvador is developed as the author challenges dominant theories of violence through foregrounding subaltern vocabularies that have been historically ignored in debates on violence. She unites a critical analysis of theories of violence with original ethnographic research on its use and broader responses to its different manifestations. This volume makes an important theoretical contribution to debates on violence, through developing in-depth accounts of the violence of everyday life from a feminist perspective. It also examines the vocabularies of violence of those who live with it on an everyday basis, locating these vocabularies in a critical analysis of the relations of domination that have shaped Salvadoran history.
