She shatters the harmful and convenient narrative that abuse is a \"private matter\" perpetrated by individual bad actors--and situates popular understandings of domestic abuse in an indictment of the racism, misogyny, and carcerality baked into U.S. culture and politics. Cheung explores: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe links between capitalism and domestic abuse: how late-stage capitalism colludes with the state to incentivize forced birth and reproductive coercion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntimate partner violence as a tool of political silence and social control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerica's tacit acceptance of sexual assault, from the home to the White House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe interplay of race, power, gender, and sexuality in state-based violence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the United States runs on carcerality, and what that means for victims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe way we view survival crimes, and our complicity in defining which acts are \"violent\" and whose actions are \"criminal\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow white feminism and carceral feminism fail us all\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eCheung plainly names all that goes unsaid when we, as a culture, talk about abuse: How state and society criminalize women, girls, and gender-oppressed people of color. That what happens behind closed doors affects whose voices we hear at the ballot box. What it means when we put predators--from every party--up for vote. That sex workers are more likely to be victimized by law enforcement than \"saved\" by them. That this is all by design. And that ultimately--with organizing, abolition, and beyond-the-ballot action--we can change it all for good.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKYLIE CHEUNG is a journalist and the author of two other books on gender and power, \u003ci\u003eA Woman's Place\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Gaslit Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e.
