The Beginning and End of Rape: Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America by Sarah Deer

4.0

Wow - what an informative, eye-opening, and thorough look into the prevalence of rape in Native America, the role of colonialism in the perpetration of the legacy of rape, and the intricacies of addressing legal hurdles associated with properly advocating for and honoring rape survivors in tribal communities and beyond. This was a tough and sometimes dense read, but I feel much more knowledgeable about the state of sexual violence in Native community and empowered to be an advocate for Native women in the future.
