Recenzje

'Based on extensive and sensitive fieldwork, After Rape illuminates Acholi ideas of justice and appropriate sex. A master of contextualization, Holly Porter deftly examines rape in relation to gender relations, the legacy of war and the ideals of social harmony in contemporary northern Uganda. With its reflections on methodology, careful analysis, and sympathetic portrayals of distressing situations, this is a truly thought-provoking book.' Susan Reynolds Whyte, University of Copenhagen
