A Feminist Theory of Violence

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Françoise Vergès critiques the conventional discourse on gender equality, highlighting how it often obscures violence perpetuated with state complicity. She argues that the focus on 'violent men' distracts from underlying issues such as racial capitalism and the impact of imperialism, which contribute to a cycle of violence. Vergès advocates for a shift from punitive measures to restorative justice, challenging the prevailing state-driven approaches. Narrated by Kaliswa Brewster, this edition invites listeners to reflect deeply on these pressing societal issues.
