A Feminist Theory of Violence: A Decolonial Perspective by Françoise Vergès

5.0

A nuanced and well researched intersectional view of feminist thought and it's shortcomings. Dealing deftly with race, incarceration, capitalism, and modernity all at the same time, Verges still manages to be concise and direct in her message.

We cannot be effective feminists until we seek to end violence toward women (and men!) through a systemic and restorative approach rather than our tried and true penal system. This book outlines well exactly why that is.
