Facing Patriarchy challenges current thinking about men's violence
against women. Drawing upon radical and intersectional feminist
theory and critical masculinity studies, the book locates men's
violence within the structures and processes of patriarchy.
Addressing the limitations of current violence prevention policies,
Bob Pease argues that a nuanced conceptualisation of patriarchy,
that accounts for a variety of patriarchal structures,
intersections with other forms of inequality, patriarchal
ideologies, men's peer group relations, men's sexist practices and
the construction of patriarchal subjectivities, is required to
understand the links between gender and men's violence against
women. Pease shows that men's violence against women needs to be
understood in the context of other forms of men's violence,
including violence against boys and other men, in the involvement
of men in wars and conflicts between nations and men's ecologically
destructive practices which constitute a form of slow violence.
With crucial implications for priorities in violence prevention,
gender equality promotion and in strategies for engaging men in
this work, Facing Patriarchy offers new hope for the elimination of
men's violence. This is an essential book for scholars,
practitioners, activists and policy makers involved in violence
prevention in national and international contexts.
