standards for prosecuting rape charges and charges of child sexual
abuse in the United States."
-- "Archives of Sexual Behavior"
"Merril Smith's edited volume provides numerous articles that
will be of great worth to the historical and feminist communities.
The range or articles in this volume goes beyond the usual
"hotspots" while still allowing for important comparisons."
--"Journal of Social History"
A group of men rape an intoxicated fifteen year old girl to
"make a woman of her." An immigrant woman is raped after accepting
a ride from a stranger. A young mother is accosted after a neighbor
escorts her home. In another case, a college frat party is the
scene of the crime. Although these incidents appear similar to
accounts one can read in the newspapers almost any day in the
United States, only the last one occurred in this century. Each,
however, involved a woman or girl compelled to have sex against her
will.
Sex without Consent explores the experience, prosecution, and
meaning of rape in American history from the time of the early
contact between Europeans and Native Americans to the present. By
exploring what rape meant in particular times and places in
American history, from interracial encounters due to colonization
and slavery to rape on contemporary college campuses, the
contributors add to our understanding of crime and punishment, as
well as to gender relations, gender roles, and sexual politics.
