Looking across time and the globe, a critical history of sexual violence, wwhat causes it and how we overcome it.

The first truly global history of sexual violence.

Backed by Judith Butler, this is an essential text, a global history of sexual violence across time, continents and cultures. Accessible and rigorous, for gender specialists as well as an excellent introduction to the problem of sexual violence for the general public. The essay updates the existing literature on sexual violence and offers, in the final chapter, a proposal for what the author calls a “rape-free world”.

Judith Butler: “Bold and impressive. A capacious, clear-eyed view of violation that leads to a nuanced call for a future of global solidarity.”

The Sleeping Car Porter brings to life a long-neglected part of Black and queer histories through the spell­binding, magical story of the singular –and unforgettable– Baxter, the car porter.
