Thirty years later, with no notice, her article reappeared and went viral in the wake of the 2012 fatal gang-rape in New Delhi, prompting her to write a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e op-ed about healing from rape that was widely circulated. Now, Abdulali has written \u003cem\u003eWhat We Talk About When We Talk About Rape\u003c\/em\u003e--a thoughtful, generous, unflinching look at rape and rape culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on her own experience, her work with hundreds of survivors as the head of a rape crisis center in Boston, and three decades of grappling with rape as a feminist intellectual and writer, Abdulali tackles some of our thorniest questions about rape, articulating the confounding way we account for who gets raped and why--and asking how we want to raise the next generation. In interviews with survivors from around the world we hear moving personal accounts of hard-earned strength, humor, and wisdom that collectively tell the larger story of what rape means and how healing can occur. Abdulali also points to the questions we don't talk about: Is rape always a life-definining event? Is one rape worse than another? Is a world without rape possible?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat We Talk About When We Talk About Rape\u003c\/em\u003e is a book for this #MeToo and #TimesUp age that will stay with readers--men and women alike--for a long, long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620974735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.60w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sohaila Abdulali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36662591619228,"sku":"9781620974735","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_768114ca-6b10-4aa9-8679-ed81c03e7577.jpg?v=1603902227","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-rape-9781620974735","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
