In An Abusive State How Neoliberalism Appropriated The Feminist Movement Against Sexual Violence Kristin Bumiller by Kristin Bumiller 9780822342397, 0822342391 instant download after payment.

Inan Abusive State
puts forth a powerful argument: that the feminist campaign to stop
sexual violence has entered into a problematic alliance with the
neoliberal state. Kristin Bumiller chronicles the evolution of this
alliance by examining the history of the anti-violence campaign, the
production of cultural images about sexual violence, professional
discourses on intimate violence, and the everyday lives of battered
women.
She also scrutinizes the rhetoric of high-profile rape trials and
the expansion of feminist concerns about sexual violence into the
international human-rights arena.
In the process, Bumiller reveals how
the feminist fight against sexual violence has been shaped over recent
decades by dramatic shifts in welfare policies, incarceration rates, and
the surveillance role of social-service bureaucracies.Drawing
on archival research, individual case studies, testimonies of rape
victims, and interviews with battered women, Bumiller raises fundamental
concerns about the construction of sexual violence as a social problem.
She describes how placing the issue of sexual violence on the public
agenda has polarized gender- and race-based interests.
She contends that
as the social welfare state has intensified regulation and control, the
availability of services for battered women and rape victims has become
increasingly linked to their status as victims and their ability to
recognize their problems in medical and psychological terms.
Bumiller
suggests that to counteract these tendencies, sexual violence should
primarily be addressed in the context of communities and in terms of its
links to social disadvantage.

In an Abusive State
is an impassioned call for feminists to reflect on how the co-optation
of their movement by the neoliberal state creates the potential to
inadvertently harm impoverished women and support punitive and racially
based crime control efforts.
