• W122713875 abstract "Blue Room: Trauma and Testimony Among Refugee Women - A Psycho - Social ExplorationInger Agger London: Zed Books Limited, 1994; 138 pp.Reviewed by Helence Moussa Refugee and Migration Service World Council of Churches Geneva, SwitzerlandThe Blue is about socially constructed boundaries (bodily, psychological, cultural, social and political) and power of shame when women cross these frontiers. Inger Agger, a Danish feminist activist, and a psychologist and researcher, has worked for many years with victims of torture. this book she investigates how 40 active women from Middle East and Latin America were punished and controlled. These women are perceived by as politically A prime motive strategies to disgrace women is to divest them of their political power, particularly power of their sexuality. Further - more, women are victimized by these strategies long before they experience organized violence. Exile for women begins childhood.One of main objectives of Blue is to link violence against women prison with sexual political power society. central theme of this book is identity conflicts that politically dangerous women feel when they choose to move out of private sphere and into political spaces that challenge male power. book provides a unique understanding of politics of violence against refugee women.The Blue Room is a metaphor for series of rooms a woman's house of exile. rooms are spaces which painful aspects of life are shared and deprivatized. blue room, Agger explains, is third culture - a temporary space where Agger and each woman relate to each other on mutually agreed terms. Agger explains that a cardinal symptom of trauma is split between thoughts and feelings. Metaphors are used throughout this book to illustrate how this schism may be healed. Metaphors also become source elucidating intuitive knowledge.Chapter 1, In Blue Room, elaborates how methodology of this study is guided by Agger's assumptions as a feminist, researcher and therapist. author does not compare responses of Middle East and Latin American women. Rather she draws on common themes and uses narratives to supplement each others' responses. selected narratives also illustrate that women within these regions have different responses to similar experiences.Chapter 2, The Daughter's Room, explores how power of shame seeps into a young girl's body and soul with the first blood - albeit an unconscious internalization of structural violence. New boundaries are created. She has now entered state of virginity. Unlike other chapters, narratives Chapter 2 are exclusively those of women from Middle East. reason for this, Agger explains, is that these women in an especially radical way voiced experiences also found other androcentric societies (p. 20). I wonder how much this decision was influenced by Agger's culturally - bound prejudices - to which she admits: Most surprising for me is women's openness with respect to sexual subjects. This provokes me to question some of my own prejudices about women from foreign cultures...(p. 17). bibliography has strikingly few publications by women from Middle East and Latin America. Current literature by women from South and women of colour are perhaps not as accessible Denmark as they are Canada.Chapter 3, The Father's Room, is about sexual aggression of male family members and men public sphere. Women share with Agger how they painfully struggled - usually silence - against letting power of these men rule their lives. How this struggle against structural violence is transferred into rebellion against organized violence is central focus of both book and Chapter 4, The Cell. …" @default.
