Conversely, she also examines how these authors at times portray disappearance as a strategy of protection from domination or violence, a space to share ideas and create. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisappearance and Candor in Contemporary Women's Writing\u003c\/i\u003e examines these works in the context of each author's culture and history, drawing from the writing of philosophers, historians, artists, and activists. In doing so, the author addresses broader questions of human rights by focusing on authoritarian governments' use of gendered language and the feminization of enemies to justify the disappearance of political opponents or scapegoated minorities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLane Glisson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338826711129,"sku":"9781666950519","price":187.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6465\/9545\/files\/Whb9eC4TdP9781666950519.webp?v=1779430474","url":"https:\/\/warrenssanctuaryofthemind.myshopify.com\/products\/disappearance-and-candor-in-contemporary-womens-writing-hardcover","provider":"Warren's sanctuary of the mind","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
