Este libro revolucionario, profundo, provocador e inteligente, analiza el abuso sexual y el discurso global sobre la violación desde el punto de vista de la superviviente de una violación en grupo en Bombay cuando era adolescente. Sohaila Abdulali es escritora, exasesora de supervivientes y activista. Cuando hablamos de víctimas de violación solemos decir: "Podría haber sido tu madre o tu hermana o tu hija", pero en rarísimas ocasiones decimos "el violador podría haber sido tu padre o tu hermano o tu hijo". Sohaila Abdulali reivindica una conversación más franca sobre la violación. Aborda sin tapujos pero con sutileza las complejidades de la violencia sexual, critica acertadamente los tabúes simplistas y plantea preguntas esclarecedoras tales como si verdaderamente el modelo "sí es sí y no es no" tiene en cuenta de forma adecuada a una mujer que "elige" que la violen en lugar de que la maten o a una mujer que "cede" ante un varón con poder en el mundo profesional al que pertenece. I was mesmerized by the first page. This book illustrates the true conformity that people have succumbed to in order to simply exist. Abdulali is compassionate and direct in understanding people’s inability to change due to so many circumstances. She shows that regardless of fear, we must all fight against the “social norms” that we have allowed to continue in this still patriarchal society. Take the time to reflect and ask yourself if you are the type of person who will blame a victim of sexual crime, or who understands that it’s a crime but believes that change will never come; especially if you are a woman. We must hold people accountable, including ourselves. Rape is not a woman’s issues, it is a human being’s issue. Even with the strong direct language, this book is not a preach, it is a true word of experience and hope that tomorrow no person will endure the trauma of this horrible crime. Title: What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape Author: Sohaila Abdulali Publisher: The New Press Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: "What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape" by Sohaila Abdulali My Thoughts... This was definitely one incredible read where one will get a wide range of topics under this subject: RAPE. This well written novel will cover this subject from a 'political opinion, factual evidence and personal narratives' that is a easy read even though its a heavy topic with some horrible stories. I definitely found this information definitely eye opening as well as terrifying in what went on. Again, I will say this was quite a read where Sohaila Abdulali will draw one into her own 'experience that she had with rape and its aftermath.' This subject will not be a easy novel to read but in the end one will get a full understanding of what these survivors went through and yet it 'sends a message of empowerment for women.' Thank you to both NetGalley and The New Press for my ARC of this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In the tradition of Rebecca Solnit, a beautifully written, deeply intelligent, searingly honest-and ultimately hopeful-examination of sexual assault and the global discourse on rape told through the perspective of a survivor, writer, counselor, and activist After surviving gang-rape at seventeen in Mumbai, Sohaila Abdulali was indignant about the deafening silence that followed and wrote a fiery piece about the perception of rape-and rape victims-for a women's magazine. Thirty years later, with no notice, her article reappeared and went viral in the wake of the 2012 fatal gang-rape in New Delhi, prompting her to write a New York Times op-ed about healing from rape that was widely circulated. Now, Abdulali has written What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape-a thoughtful, generous, unflinching look at rape and rape culture. Drawing on her own experience, her work with hundreds of survivors as the head of a rape crisis center in Boston, and three decades of grappling with rape as a feminist intellectual and writer, Abdulali tackles some of our thorniest questions about rape, articulating the confounding way we account for who gets raped and why-and asking how we want to raise the next generation. In interviews with survivors from around the world we hear moving personal accounts of hard-earned strength, humor, and wisdom that collectively tell the larger story of what rape means and how healing can occur. Abdulali also points to the questions we don't talk about: Is rape always a life-defining event? Is one rape worse than another? Is a world without rape possible? What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is a book for this #MeToo and #TimesUp age that will stay with readers-men and women alike-for a long, long time.

Partindo de sua própria experiência, bem como de seu trabalho atendendo centenas de vítimas nos Estados Unidos, além de três décadas de trabalho intelectual feminista, Abdulali encara algumas das questões mais espinhosas sobre o tema. Em entrevistas com sobreviventes do mundo todo, ouvimos relatos emocionantes de força encontrada na adversidade, no humor e na sabedoria que contam, em conjunto, uma história maior sobre o significado do estupro e como a cura pode advir.
Abdulali também aponta questões sobre as quais não conversamos: Um estupro é sempre um evento que define uma vida inteira? Um estupro é pior do que outro? Um mundo sem estupros é possível?
Do que estamos falando quando falamos de estupro é um livro para a época de movimentos como #MeToo, #TimesUp e #MeuPrimeiroAssédio, que vai permanecer com seus leitores – tanto homens quanto mulheres – por muito, muito tempo.
