Summary
Cheung's book shatters the harmful and convenient narrative that abuse is a "private matter" perpetrated by individual bad actors. She believes that domestic abuse and state violence are systemic and interconnected. Here she situates popular understandings of domestic abuse in an indictment of the racism, misogyny, and carcerality baked into U.S. culture and politics. When state and society criminalize women, girls, and gender-oppressed people of color, while putting predators-- from every party-- up for vote, it is necessary to organize and make changes in the systems that perpetuate this behavior. -- adapted from back cover
