Coercive Control - How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life Stark Evan D.Paperback
One of the most important books ever written on domestic violence, Coercive Control breaks through entrenched views of physical abuse that have ultimately failed to protect women. Drawing on court records, interviews, and FBI statistics, Stark details coercive strategies that men use to deny women their very personhood, from beeper games to food logs to micromanaging dress, speech, sexual activity, and work. Evan Stark, founder of one of America's first battered women's shelters, shows how domestic violence is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking.
Provocative and brilliantly argued, Coercive Control reframes abuse as a liberty Stark urges us to move beyond the injury model and focus on the real victimization that allows men to violate women's human rights with impunity.
