À propos de ce titre

From intimate relationships to global politics, Sarah Schulman observes a continuum: that inflated accusations of harm are used to avoid accountability. Illuminating the difference between conflict and abuse, Schulman directly addresses our contemporary culture of scapegoating. This deep, brave, and bold work reveals how punishment replaces personal and collective self-criticism, and shows why difference is so often used to justify cruelty and shunning.

Rooting the problem of escalation in negative group relationships, Schulman illuminates the ways cliques, communities, families, and religious, racial, and national groups bond through the refusal to change their self-concept. She illustrates how supremacy behavior and traumatized behavior resemble each other, through a shared inability to tolerate difference.

This important and sure-to-be controversial book illuminates such contemporary and historical issues of personal, racial, and geo-political difference as tools of escalation towards injustice, exclusion, and punishment, whether the objects of dehumanization are other individuals in our families or communities, people with HIV, African Americans, or Palestinians.

Avis de la critique

"A concluding call to address personal and social conflicts without state intervention via police and courts caps off a work that's likely to inspire much discussion." (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review)

I really struggle to see the other side of things. This audiobook is a good guide to avoid causing additional harm in situations that could be solved verbally. Thanks to contrapoints to include this in her YouTube video

extremely helpful to dissolve conflicts

I bought this after seeing it recommended on YouTube, but it’s the first time I’ve ever requested a refund. I found the anecdotes to be random and disjointed, and the perspective felt far too US-centric to be applicable or relevant in a global context.
Beyond the content, the audiobook experience was incredibly difficult. The author’s choice to use a soft, whispering tone made the narration feel grating and, at times, physically hard to understand. It actually put me off listening to anything else for a while. If you are genuinely curious about the subject matter, I strongly suggest sticking to the print version; avoid this audio production at all costs.

Narrow perspective and difficult delivery

In some countries "family mediation" takes place in courts: the abused (usually wife) has to face her abuser (usually the husband). The husband says the obligatory "I'm sorries" and "It will never happen agains" - just because he is expected to do so - and if the wife does not accept that, she is immediately at a disadvantage as being "confrontational". Peeps, she is AFRAID and DOES NOT TRUST. This is essentially the same situation that the author of this book suggests for the abusers and the abused, wanting them to talk. There can be no talk if there is no real, actual, serious outside mechanism of enforcement of the "I'm sorries". And usually there is none.

May seem a good idea but is probably not.
