GENDER IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE Edited by

John Idriss Lahai Khanyisela Moyo

Crossing Boundaries of Gender and Politics in the Global South Series editor Christina Ewig Humphrey School of Public Affairs University of Minnesota Madison, Wisconsin, USA

As the field of gender and politics has grown, it has become more global, more critical, and more interdisciplinary. The series Crossing Boundaries of Gender and Politics in the Global South creates a space for dialogue among scholars of global gender and politics who are dedicated to demonstrating the significance of gender for full political analysis. The series focuses on promoting works that: • Cross traditional disciplinary boundaries to make innovative contributions to the study of politics • Focus on gender and politics in countries and regions of the Global South or on interactions between the Global North and South • Analyze transnational phenomena, such as transnational feminist ­organizing, the politics of migration, or gender and global labor regimes • Integrate feminist or queer theory with studies of international ­relations or comparative politics.
