About the Book

So serious are the topics of rape and sexual assault that the mere discussion of them is often avoided. In this book, Mary Odem and Jody Clay-Warner examine the complex and painful issue of sexual violence from various perspectives, including sociology, criminology, anthropology, public health, and women's studies. The inclusion of personal accounts from women who have been raped or threatened by rape makes this collection particularly accessible, compelling, and powerful. An essay details one woman's long struggle as a rape survivor, a poem describes the fear of rape and society's treatment of the victim, and a sonnet traces the journey from victim to survivor. Not only does this invaluable collection define and examine the prevalence of rape and sexual assault, but it analyzes social and institutional factors that contribute to their occurrence and provides strategies for prevention and change.

Review :
Finally, a truly superb volume on the topic of sexual assault. I highly recommend it. There are valuable pieces for everyone here-students, scholars, and those wanting to learn more about the subject of rape and sexual aggression, its impract on victims, and strategies for change. This anthology serves up the leading experts and most engaging voices. Confronting Rape and Sexual Assault will be a useful primer for students, health care workers, law enforcement officials, and public policymakers. I anticipate that it will quickly become the standard reference work on the subject because of its thorough coverage. An excellent text that should be required reading for anyone interested in the issue. Sexual violence is placed in an institutional and cultural context, and the intersections of sexual assault and race, ethnicity, and gender are explored.
