Violent Intimacy

Family Harmony, State Stability, and Intimate Partner Violence in Post-Socialist China

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first ethnographic research on women's lived experiences of, discussions about, and responses to intimate partner violence in their daily lives in post-socialist China, using an innovative methodology - online chat groups. Through examining the ways in which women's lives are constrained by various forms of violence, hierarchy, and inequality, this book shows that violence against women is a structural issue that is historically produced and politically and culturally engaged.
