ITEM OVERVIEW
First published in 1993, this pioneering anthology is a powerful polemic for fundamental cultural change: the transformation of basic attitudes about power, gender, race, and sexuality. The diverse contributors range from free thinkers, activists, academics, religious zealots, anti-porn crusaders, and popular authors of all genders. The book's statistics have been updated, with new essays on sexual violence in US schools, the church, Internet porn, the role of sports in sexual violence, rape in war, and from immigrant communities who struggle against the stigma of reporting rape. The book proves that violence is not limited to one race or gender, but has its roots in cultural biases that are in need of change. Contributors include bell hooks, Dworkin, Michael Messner, Carol J. Adams, Yvette Flores, and many more in this 400-page volume.
