Joanna Bourke takes the issue of rape out of the academic ghettos
and distills the truth so often exploited to sell newspapers.
Neither prurient nor overly sympathetic toward any party, she
investigates rape from a historical standpoint, examining the
history of sexual aggression, the idea of rape as a social
construct, and the often-ignored idea of embodiment, and analyzes
the physical response of rapists as well as the theory that rape is
"about" power.
Indebted to a growing body of sophisticated feminist analyses about
rape victims, Bourke here shifts the emphasis from the victims to
the perpetrators in order to place rapists in their historical
context. An invaluable study, this book delivers the hard truth
that if we are to imagine a world free of unwanted sexual violence,
then we must consider the issue of rape from every angle.
