Charming and intriguing. They don't make fiction for middle-readers like this any more.

Some of these writers seem to assume that all men are abusive and sexist.

Many of them fail to distinguish between violence and counterviolence.

Most of them sincerely believe that simply by changing hearts and minds we can end rape forever.

These are all major faults. And though they don't entirely sink the book, they don't get us anywhere new.

Most of the best essays in this book come in at the end, these being some of the most personal. By far the best is Inés Hernández-Ávila's "In Praise of Insubordination".… (plus d'informations)

The groundbreaking Transforming a Rape
Culture was first published in 1993, and this
revised and updated edition is just as powerful
as the first. The book gathers writing from a
diverse and wide reaching range of authors,
including bell hooks, Michael Kimmel, Carol J
Adams, Gail Dines and Andrea Dworkin, with
their astute analyses of the origins of sexual
violence, creating a stark insight into the
oppressive nature of sexual violence. While
this sounds bleak, the authors manage to
instill hope into the reader, hope that once the
origins of sexual violence are fully understood
and unraveled then we can start to change
and transform our ‘rape culture’. This edition
contains new writing on Internet pornography,
the role of sport in sexual violence, rape as
an instrument of war and domestic violence in
immigrant communities.
