Insurgent Feminisms: Women Write War brings together ten years of writing published on Warscapes magazine through the lens of gender. Since its founding in November 2011, Warscapes has urged an immersive reflection on war not as nationalist exercise but as an affective, traumatic and inevitable burden upon the victim, the witness, the artist and the ethicist. In this collection, insurgency emerges in the raw and meticulous language of witnessing, and in the desire to render the space of conflict in radically different ways. There are no paeans to courageous soldiers here, nor pat nationalist rhetoric, nor bravado about saving lives. These perspectives on war come out of regions and positions that defy stereotypical war reportage or the expected war story. They disobey the rules of war writing and do not subordinate themselves to the usual themes and tropes that we have become so used to reading. Instead, Insurgent Feminisms advances a new paradigm of war writing. Truth rises to the top when these writers choose to dissent from the received wisdoms, styles and socio-political structures of violence that constantly put gendered bodies at risk. Insurgent Feminisms comprises reportage, fiction, memoir, poetry and conversations from over sixty writers from thirty regions, primarily from the Global South, and includes contributions by Suchitra Vijayan, Chika Unigwe, Belen Fernandez, Otoniya Juliane Okot Bitek, Nathalie, Handal Gaiutra Bahadur, Robtel Neajai Pailey, Sumana Roy and Lina Mounzer, as well as conversations with Ubah Cristina Ali Farah, Sarah Ladipo Manyika, Lara Pawson, Panashe Chigumadzi and Annemarie Jacir, among several others.

Decolonising Andean Identities presents ground-breaking work from scholars carrying out social science research in and from Andean Latin America. It addresses themes of central importance to contemporary perspectives on interdisciplinary gender studies and politics in societies undergoing significant social transformation. The collection aims to develop the field of decolonial gender studies by showcasing interdisciplinary work at the forefront of scholarship. It draws on international expertise through its diverse contributors, including predominately Latin American scholars. There is an urgent need to broaden the perspectives on gender and gender-based activism in Latin America beyond the Southern Cone and Mexico in order to bring the region as a whole into dialogue with global scholarship. The contributors use the term ‘Andinxs’ as a provocation to encourage scholars of the region to reconsider approaches the politics of gender, sexuality and (de)coloniality. By responding to the question, ‘Who are Andinxs (Andin-exs)?’ the collection interrogates the postcolonial, gendered and political subjectivities currently undergoing dramatic social change in Andean Latin America. Praise for Decolonising Andean Identities 'Decolonizing Andean Identities is a brilliant contribution to the scholarship of the Andean region that offers readers a new grammar for thinking about gender and feminist activism in a decolonial register. Irons and Martin introduce the term ‘Andinx’ as a critical reevaluation of ‘andeanism,’ pushing the boundaries of academic discourse to encompass the rich, multifaceted experiences of those living in the Andes today.' Julieta Chaparro-Buitrago, University of Cambridge 'This is a timely and inspirational collection that captures the power and potential of intersectional feminist activism in the Andes. Breaking new ground conceptually through the term Andinx, it also provides fascinating decolonial insights into gender, sexualities, indigeneity and feminism.' Cathy McIlwaine, King’s College London
