Political Invisibility and Mobilization: Women Against State Violence in Argentina, Yugoslavia, and Liberia: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Political Invisibility and Mobilization: Women Against State Violence in Argentina, Yugoslavia, and Liberia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Political Invisibility and Mobilization presents a sociological explanation of political invisibility and its relationship with mobilization during periods of violent repression. In a comparative study of three womens peace movements, in Argentina, the former Yugoslavia, and Liberia, the concept of political invisibility is developed to identify the unexpected beneficial effects of marginalization in the face of regime violence and civil war. Each chapter details the unique ways these movements avoided being targeted as threats to regime power and how they utilized free spaces to mobilize for peace. The movements organizing efforts among international networks are described as a form of field-shifting that gained them the authority to expand their work at home to bring an end to war and rebuild society. The robust conceptual framework developed herein offers new ways to analyze the variations and nuances of how social status interacts with opportunities for effective activism. This book presents a sophisticated theory of political invisibility with historical detail from three remarkable stories of courage in the face of atrocity. With relevance for political sociology, social movement studies, womens studies, and peace and conflict studies, it contributes to scholarly understanding of mobilization in repressive states while also offering strategic insight to movement practitioners--

POLITICAL INVISIBILITY
AND MOBILIZATION
AND MOBILIZATION
Political Invisibility and Mobilization explores the unseen opportunities available to those considered irrelevant and disregarded during periods of violent repression.
In a comparative study of three womens peace movements, in Argentina, the former Yugoslavia, and Liberia, the concept of political invisibility is developed to identify the unexpected beneficial effects of marginalization in the face of regime violence and civil war. Each chapter details the unique ways these movements avoided being targeted as threats to regime power and how they utilized free spaces to mobilize for peace. Their organizing efforts among international networks are described as a form of field-shifting that gained them the authority to expand their work at home to bring an end to war and rebuild society. The robust conceptual framework developed herein offers new ways to analyze the variations and nuances of how social status interacts with opportunities for effective activism.
This book presents a sophisticated theory of political invisibility with historical detail from three remarkable stories of courage in the face of atrocity. With relevance for political sociology, social movement studies, womens studies, and peace and conflict studies, it contributes to scholarly understanding of mobilization in repressive states while also offering strategic insight to movement practitioners.

There have been countless times in my life that I have experienced social invisibility. A significant part of what minoritized peoples hold in common is the experience of exclusion. And a significant dimension of exclusion is that experience of being denied and disregarded, not fitting into the socially constructed criteria of what counts as eligible, capable enough, or authoritative enough for a particular position, for respect, leadership, inclusion, or even just acknowledgment.
Sociologists have long understood that perception is a deeply social process, imperfect and contradictory, liable to a multitude of rationalities but often profoundly anchored in socialization and societal norms. Perception is imperfect by default, sometimes tragically so. But as it becomes reality, it, in turn, deeply structures our lives. Ifand anything socially constructed comes with an ifwe are diligent and committed, perception can also be refined through an intentional process of reflection and validation. Social movements have been needed to shift collective consciousness and understandings; the current climate of race relations in the United States should indicate that this can be a long and difficult process, with giant steps backward possible amid many twists and turns. Still, even when constraints seem to far overshadow opportunities, a life of often-invisibility has led me to unsought-for but advantageous realizations, not least of which is that our individual and collective cognitive blind spots often cause us to overlook talent, value, skill, and a diverse array of meaningful social contributions.
From the standpoint of the invisible, the pressures of gaining visibility and the stresses of experiencing invisibility are many. That minoritized people have to work twice as hard to get half as far is well understood among those of us who have lived it. (Unless you are among those who have taken the shortcuts to personal mobility occasionally offered by playing to power in dishonest ways.) The propensity of incumbent powerholders to view newcomers successes as threatening to their privilege, and to react with repression, is also an experience many of us have known and confronted. (As I discuss in , minoritization can confer not only invisibility but malignant forms of visibility.) It is for these reasons that the negative effects of dismissal and invisibility people so often experience in settings where they have unwittingly been minoritized have been the stuff of social justice research and advocacy, with some frustrating and also illuminating revelations.
