She shatters the harmful and convenient narrative that abuse is a “private matter” perpetrated by individual bad actors--and situates popular understandings of domestic abuse in an indictment of the racism, misogyny, and carcerality baked into U.S. culture and politics. Cheung explores:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe links between capitalism and domestic abuse: how late-stage capitalism colludes with the state to incentivize forced birth and reproductive coercion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntimate partner violence as a tool of political silence and social control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerica’s tacit acceptance of sexual assault, from the home to the White House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe interplay of race, power, gender, and sexuality in state-based violence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the United States runs on carcerality, and what that means for victims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe way we view survival crimes, and our complicity in defining which acts are “violent” and whose actions are “criminal”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow white feminism and carceral feminism fail us all\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eCheung plainly names all that goes unsaid when we, as a culture, talk about abuse: How state and society criminalize women, girls, and gender-oppressed people of color. That what happens behind closed doors affects whose voices we hear at the ballot box. What it means when we put predators--from every party--up for vote. That sex workers are more likely to be victimized by law enforcement than “saved” by them. That this is all by design. And that ultimately--with organizing, abolition, and beyond-the-ballot action--we can change it all for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom TI 9781623179083 TR.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49322877583664,"sku":"BDhgpz","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/524837-hgpz-Square.jpg?v=1733495519","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hgpz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
