Women in the terrorist state : the gendering of human rights / Nancy Hollander ; produced by Pamela Burton.

Nancy Hollander examines violence in the United States, its relation to political repression, and the state terror which exists in much of Latin America. Fueled by the events surrounding the O.J. Simpson case, Hollander points to the gender-related themes of Euramerican violence. She examines the impact of state terror on people, the difference between its impact upon men and women, and the relation between war and domestic violence. Men, she suggests, experience war violence. But the experience of many women is shaped by domestic violence. She compares state torture to domestic abuse, and how state terrorism strengthens male hegemony and misogyny. Contains detailed descriptions of torture to female sexual organs.|WOMEN IN THE TERRORIST STATE : THE GENDERING OF HUMAN RIGHTS / Nancy Hollander| produced by Pamela Burton. - Nancy Hollander examines violence in the United States, its relation to political repression, and the state terror which exists in much of Latin America.
