On violence and on violence against women / Jacqueline Rose.
We see it in the streets, where black people are dying at the hands of the police. We see it in our courts, whose scales are tipped toward the powerful. What about the violence behind closed doors? Rose examines violence from postapartheid South Africa to Trump's White House; trans rights, sexual assault, and the #MeToo movement. Is violence always gendered and, if so, always in the same way? How do we write about, visualize, and tell the truth about violence without becoming complicit? -- adapted from jacket
