À propos de cet audio

The mainstream discourse surrounding gender equality is a repertoire of violence: harassment, rape, abuse, femicide. These words designate a cruel reality. But don't they also hide another reality: that of violence committed with the complicity of the State?

In this book, Françoise Vergès denounces the carceral turn in the fight against sexism. By focusing on 'violent men', we fail to question the sources of their violence. For the author, there is no doubt as to the underlying causes: racial capitalism, ultra-conservative populisms, the crushing of the Global South by wars and imperialist looting, the exile of millions, proliferation of prisons–these all put masculinities in the service of a policy of death.

Against the spirit of the times, Françoise Vergès urges us to refuse the punitive obsession of the State, in favour of restorative justice.

This audiobook edition, beautifully narrated by actor Kaliswa Brewster, is a perfect choice for learning on the go.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"In this robust, decolonial challenge to carceral feminism, Francoise Vergès elucidates why a structural approach to violence is needed. If we wish to understand how racial capitalism is linked to the proliferation of intimate and state violence directed at women and gender-nonconforming people, we need to look no further than Vergès' timely analysis." Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California, Santa Cru

"A powerful and uncompromising text … A stunning reflection on the recurrence of assault–gender-based, sexual, racial violence." 'Terrafemina'

"An important and courageous book, which raises difficult questions and uncovers invisible structures of domination." 'Trou Noir'
