Rezensionen

Bold in its global vision and eminently readable, 'Disgrace' is a work of scholarship that is full of empathy and conviction. Joanna Bourke builds upon decades of her research and brings a historians omniscient eye to a topic which may be called timely, but in fact has long been a part of human history. Across geographies, cultures, and eras, the reality of sexual violence has always served as a sobering reminder of humanitys flaws and cruelties. Here is an eye-opening book to help us understand that reality more fully and to help us envision a future free of rape.', Winnie M Li, author of 'Dark Chapter' and 'Complicit', activist and rape survivor
