Contextualising and understanding masculinities and sexualities Unspeakable acts: sexual violence against men and women Murder and evil Homophobic violence Love as violence: intimate partner violence Transphobic violence: the fear of the 'other' Global violence Secrets untold: tales of violence Conclusion
Examines how hegemonic masculinity is reproduced not only through violence against women, but violence in an LGBTQ+ context, as well as showing how violence is in turn fueled by society’s attitudes towards masculinity. "Violence in Everyday Life explores how identity markers such as gender and sexuality intersect with violence, synthesizing the themes of gender, sexuality and violence to offering a crucial and coherent framework for understanding the interrelationship between these concepts." -- Provided by publisher
