暴力，特别是针对妇女的暴力为什么在全世界变得如此突出和明显？

为了探索这个问题，萝斯追踪了现代暴力的多种形式，它们在我们的社会结构中蔓延，重新说明了我们这个时代的暴力。

在这本进步而精辟的书中，萝斯撒开大网：变性人权利和#MeToo运动；移民妇女遭受的性骚扰；对奥斯卡•皮斯托瑞斯的审判；疫情封锁期间的家庭暴力；罗克珊•盖伊、安娜•伯恩斯、希沙姆•马塔尔和韩康的文字作品。

Why has violence, and especially violence against women, become so much more prominent and visible across the world?

To explore this question, Rose tracks the multiple forms of today's violence - historic and intimate, public and private - as they spread throughout our social fabric, offering a new account of violence in

our time.

In this provocative and incisive book, Rose casts her net wide: trans rights and #MeToo; the sexual harassment of migrant women; the trial of Oscar Pistorius; domestic violence in pandemic lockdown; the writing of Roxane Gay, Anna Burns, Hisham Matar and Han Kang.

What obscene pleasure in violence do so many male leaders of the Western world unleash in their supporters? Is violence always gendered and if so, always in the same way? What is required of the human mind when it grants itself permission to enact violence?

On Violence and On Violence Against Women is an agitation against injustice, a challenge to radical feminism and a formidable call to action.
