Subject: Occupation and the politics of sexuality


Hi!
I am writing a paper on the use of sexual abuse and torture as a tool of 
humiliation and exercising dominance. I will illustrate it using the current 
revelations about AngloAmerican abuse of Iraqis. My argument will be that male 
sexual abuse (even when committed by women soldiers) is as much a postcolonial 
feminist issue as female sexual abuse.

I am looking for references for wider literature on it: any study that has 
looked at historical and contemporary practices of use of sexual 
humiliation/rape as tool by states; studies of practices of taking pictures os 
victims and acts often as trophy, etc.

In order to avoid clogging people's email, you may reply to me individually at

Thanks in advance

Dibyesh
