| Abstract |
The complex relationship among identity politics, gender violence, and war escalation in the former Yugoslavia is analyzed. Since interethnic rape has been a central issue in both the Serbian media campaign against Kosovo Albanian men (1990) and Serbian aggression against Bosnian women (1992/93), interethnic rape is examined as an instance in which gender, violence, and ethnicity intersect with tragic consequences. It is found that the Serbian media campaign against Kosovo Albanians as rape perpetrators served as a prelude to the actual rapes of Bosnian women by Serbian soldiers. It is also found that rape helped define Serbian ethnicity in both cases. |
