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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16611263\"\u003eKylie Cheung\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Atlantic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623179083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623179084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC010000\"\u003eFeminism \u0026amp; Feminist Theory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL064000\"\u003eCorruption \u0026amp; Misconduct\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC072000\"\u003eActivism \u0026amp; Social Justice\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKYLIE CHEUNG is a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e, where she reports on gender, power, and identity at the intersections of culture and politics.
