Historically, women, men, and children have all suffered sexual violence, during wartime and peacetime as well as inside and outside their homes. This two-volume title focuses on survivors of rape in a variety of social and cultural contexts. It examines different people who are victimized in a variety of situations (including in war and prisons) and studies the particularities of rape cultures that are intertwined with ethnic cultures and hatreds and other forms of conflictual social, political, and economic relations. The book defines rape and rape culture and provides historical and cultural context for the information presented throughout the volumes, the first of which primarily focuses on the causes and manifestations of rape cultures; the second considers the consequences of rape cultures for survivors of sexual assault. Includes case studies elucidating experiences of a variety of victims-young, old, male, female, straight, and LGBT-in diverse locations around the world.
