Krátky popis
From Title IX cases on campus, to #metoo and #timesup, rape is a
definitive issue at the heart of feminism, and lately, it's barely
out of the news. Cultural critic Mithu Sanyal is picking up where
Susan Brownmiller left off in her influential 1975 book Against Our
Will. In fact, she argues that the way we understand rape hasn't
changed since then, even as the world has changed beyond
recognition.She contends that it is high time for a new and
informed debate about rape, sexual boundaries and consent. Sanyal
argues that the way we as a society understand rape tells us not
just how we understand sexual violence, but how we understand sex,
sexuality, and gender itself. For instance, why is it so hard to
imagine men as victims of rape? Why do we expect victims to be
irreparably damaged? When we think of rapists, why do we still
think of strangers in dark alleys, rather than uncles, husbands,
priests, or boyfriends?The book examines the role of race and the
trope of the black rapist, the omission of male victims, and what
we mean when we talk about rape culture.She provocatively takes
every received opinion we have about rape, and turns it inside out
- arguing with liberals, conservatives, feminists and sexists
alike.
