Sarah Deer

The Beginning and End of Rape

Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Despite what major media sources say, violence against Native women is not an epidemic. An epidemic is biological and blameless; violence against Native women is historical and political, bounded by oppression and colonial violence. In her powerful essays, Sarah Deer, who played a crucial role in the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2013 and has advocated for cultural and legal reforms to protect Native women from endemic sexual violence and abuse, points to the possibility of actual and positive change in a world where Native women are systematically undervalued, left unprotected, and hurt."--
