Despite rising attention to sexual assault and sexual violence,
queer men have been largely excluded from the discussion. Violent
Differences is the first book of its kind to focus specifically on
queer male survivors and to devote particular attention to Black
queer men. Whereas previous scholarship on male survivors has
emphasized the role of masculinity, Doug Meyer shows that race and
sexuality should be regarded as equally foundational as gender.
Instead of analyzing sexual assault against queer men in the
abstract, this book draws attention to survivors' lived
experiences. Meyer examines interview data from sixty queer men who
have suffered sexual assault, highlighting their interactions with
the police and their encounters with victim blaming. Violent
Differences expands approaches to studying sexual assault by
considering a new group of survivors and by revealing that race,
gender, and sexuality all remain essential for understanding how
this violence is experienced.
