Description:
This book is born of a contradiction: on the one hand, there has been a genuine advance in the awareness of male violence and actions to oppose it. On the other, male violence against women persists. So too does its denial, and the counter-attack against those who seek to expose it. Patrizia Romito's extraordinary book analyses male violence against women and children, and the mechanisms society develops to push it out of sight. It describes the links between discrimination, violence against women and violence against children, and uncovers the strategies and tactics used to conceal it, including denial, legitimization, euphemisation, blaming the victim and compartmentalisation.Written in a clear and direct style, the author offers both a synthesis of recent international data and a theoretical analysis of the mechanisms of concealment. It is an essential tool for anyone - professional, researcher or activist - wanting to understand male violence against women and children and to oppose it.
