'A robust, decolonial challenge to carceral feminism' - Angela Y.
Davis ***Winner of an English PEN Award 2022*** The mainstream
conversation surrounding gender equality is a repertoire of
violence: harassment, rape, abuse, femicide. These words suggest a
cruel reality. But they also hide another reality: that of gendered
violence committed with the complicity of the State. In this book,
Francoise Verges denounces the carceral turn in the fight against
sexism. By focusing on 'violent men', we fail to question the
sources of their violence. There is no doubt as to the underlying
causes: racial capitalism, ultra-conservative populism, the
crushing of the Global South by wars and imperialist looting, the
exile of millions and the proliferation of prisons - these all put
masculinity in the service of a policy of death. Against the spirit
of the times, Francoise Verges refuses the punitive obsession of
the State in favour of restorative justice.
