This collection advances vigilance as a critical feminist concept
and strategy for addressing contemporary challenges. The assembled
chapters develop feminist vigilance by elaborating concrete
examples that emphasize action, ethics, and hope. Chapter authors
expand on current feminist discussions about such issues as Black
women's self-care and anticipatory vigilance; media portrayals of
race, gender, and violence; religion and social justice;
technofeminist activism; postcolonial feminist critique; research
ethics; and collective civic action. The contributions engage with
larger discussions of social precarity, public anxiety,
post-feminist appeals, and future feminist trajectories. Particular
benefits of the collection include relatable content based in
contemporary experiences, insightful and pragmatic conceptions of
vigilance from feminist perspectives, and critical engagement with
issues of intersectionality, agency, embodiment, and care ethics.
The collection aims to address the need for productive academic
responses to contemporary challenges to gendered identities,
feminism, and intersectional relations that avoid abstractions or
overwhelmingly negative analyses. Instead, this collection invites
readers to engage in feminist vigilance as a fresh perspective,
commitment, and strategy.

This is the first book to critically examine Hollywood films that
focus on male partner violence against women. These films include
Gaslight, Sleeping with the Enemy, What's Love Got to Do with It,
Dolores Claiborne, Enough, and Safe Haven. Shaped by the contexts
of postfeminism, domestic abuse post-awareness, and familiar genre
conventions, these films engage in ideological "gaslighting" that
reaffirms our preconceived ideas about men as abusers, women as
victims, and the racial and class politics of domestic violence.
While the films purport to condemn abuse and empower abused women,
this study proposes that they tacitly reinforce the very attitudes
that we believe we no longer tolerate. Shoos argues that films like
these limit not only popular understanding but also social and
institutional interventions.
