Description: Survivor Injustice by Kylie Cheung "Survivor Injustice 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"-- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Journalist and Jezebel staff writer Kylie Cheung exposes the insidious--and often unseen--connections among domestic abuse, state-based violence, political disenfranchisement, and the carceral state."An astonishingly original, powerfully honest vision for true survivor justice." -Kirkus, starred reviewFor readers of The Revolution Starts at Home, Feminism for the 99%, and Good and Mad.Journalist and Jezebel staff writer Kylie Cheung exposes the insidious--and often unseen--connections among domestic abuse, state-based violence, political disenfranchisement, and the carceral state."An astonishingly original, powerfully honest vision for true survivor justice." -Kirkus, starred reviewFor readers of The Revolution Starts at Home, Feminism for the 99%, and Good and Mad.Incisive, urgent, and written exactly for our post-Roe times, Survivor Injustice is the feminist frame-changing read we need now--for each of us, and for all thats at stake.With an abolitionist lens, journalist and Jezebel staff writer Kylie Cheung shows how domestic abuse and state violence are systemic and interconnected. 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-The links between capitalism and domestic abuse- how late-stage capitalism colludes with the state to incentivize forced birth and reproductive coercionIntimate partner violence as a tool of political silence and social controlAmericas tacit acceptance of sexual assault, from the home to the White HouseThe interplay of race, power, gender, and sexuality in state-based violenceHow the United States runs on carcerality, and what that means for victimsThe way we view survival crimes, and our complicity in defining which acts are "violent" and whose actions are "criminal"How white feminism and carceral feminism fail us allCheung 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.

Review "By identifying rape cultures political, systemic roots—omnipresent regardless of political affiliation—Cheung provides the anticapitalist analysis lost when the mainstreaming of #MeToo led to a whitewashed movement."—Lexi McMenamin, news and politics editor at Teen Vogue "Cheung skillfully dissolves the veil between the personal and political ... and the result is shattering, even for those who are deeply familiar with these issues. This is an urgent read."—Becca Andrews, author of No Choice "A must-read analysis of the devastating impact gender-based violence plays in upholding whitemale supremacy."—Robin Marty, author of Handbook for a Post-Roe America "Cheung exposes how domestic abuse and sexual violence targeting women of Asian descent isfrequently overlooked, downplayed, and rendered invisible. A compelling and important book for these times."—Michele Goodwin, author of Policing the Womb, host of Ms. magazines On the Issues podcast, and Chancellors Professor at UC Irvine School of Law "Survivor Injustice is beautifully threaded with Kylie Cheungs lived experience, depth of knowledge, and expertise. Kylie creates an easy-to-follow roadmap, helping readers to understand how we got here and where were going. This book could not be more timely and powerful. As a survivor, I felt so seen and held in Kylies words. If you are a survivor yourself, or you love a survivor, this book is for you."—Alison Turkos, survivor-activist "Survivor Injustice connects the dots between gender violence—both inter-personal and structural—and urgent threats to American democracy. Drawing on her years of reporting and her personal experiences, Cheung is an expert yet accessible and engaging guide through complex terrain."–Alexandra Brodsky, cofounder of Know Your IX and author of Sexual Justice: Supporting Victims, Ensuring Due Process, and Resisting the Conservative Backlash "An essential commentary on how American capitalism, the carceral system, voter suppression, and white supremacy entangle themselves in service of maintaining power and control over women, and in particular women and gender-expansive people of color. At once incisive and devastating, personal and communal, this book lays a foundation for a future in which our collective survival is not bound up with the very systems that exploit, pathologize, and denigrate our experiences and identities but is rather led by a vision of justice that values and honors the complexities, subtleties, and nonlinearity of survivors lives and truths."—Dana Sussman, deputy director of PregnancyJustice "Kylie Cheung is at the height of her powers with Survivor Injustice. By turns personal and political, journalist and Gen Z feminist Cheung expertly and persuasively draws the connections between domestic abuse and state-based violence, interrogates the white-washing of Asian American women and girls from the conversation about victimhood, and reveals the ways we as a society criminalize people of color and women and girls. This is an urgent, must-read call to action."—Kera Bolonik, editor in chief of DAME magazine and author of the forthcoming book Gullible Details ISBN1623179084 Author Kylie Cheung Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1623179084 ISBN-13 9781623179083 Format Paperback Pages 352 Short Title Survivor Injustice Publication Date 2023-08-15 Subtitle State-Sanctioned Abuse, Domestic Violence, and the Fight for Bodily Autonomy Publisher North Atlantic Books,U.S. Imprint North Atlantic Books,U.S. Place of Publication Berkeley, CA Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-08-15 NZ Release Date 2023-08-15 US Release Date 2023-08-15 UK Release Date 2023-08-15 DEWEY 362.88082097 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
