The Beginning and End of Rape: Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America by Sarah Deer
4.0
“I don’t know any woman in my community who has not been raped.”
The stories and statistics discussed within this novel are heart-breaking and shocking. It’s truly an eye-opening look into rape culture and the effects of colonization over Native communities.
Deer not only sheds light on the issues, but also provides information on current legislation, tribal law, and offers insight into possible ways to reform a broken system.
A very important book that deserves to be read everywhere.
