Description
Disgrace: A Global History of Sexual Violence This book offers a critical and comprehensive exploration of sexual violence across time and place, revealing the complex factors that facilitate its occurrence and the ways in which survivors and activists have fought back. From the abduction of peasant women in 19th-century Ireland to the date-raping of high school students in 20th-century America, and from girls and women violated by Russian soldiers in 1945 to Dalit women raped by men of higher castes today, Joanna Bourke sheds light on the diverse and often overlooked stories of those affected. By examining the institutions, ideologies, and practices that enable violence, Bourke also gives voice to the survivors and activists who have struggled to bring about change. This book aims to forge a transnational feminism that promotes a more harmonious, equal, and violence-free world.
