review 1: Rape is Rape presents in clear, concise language the complex and nuanced challenges faced by rape victims and society at large using recent court case studies and case examples. Further, Raphael integrates examinations of where information is being sourced, from the top links appearing in google searches, to television reporting, to blogs and social media outlets. With extensive notes documenting the sources of information presented, you'll have no trouble finding your way to further reading. Resources for victims, research statistics, and recommended readings to further your exploration of this and related topics are provided.
review 2: Published in 2013, this is an excellent contemporary look at the problem of rape and how, just as it's been throughout human ... morehistory, excuses are made to trivialize or deny that the rape ever happened, or blame the crime of rape on the victims. The author looks at the recent election and at the comments made by political candidates. Even feminists and other people you think would know better, often in their writing and spoken words, end up blaming the victim. The author's primary focus is acquaintance rape. She reveals the tactics used by rape deniers who come from the entire range of the political spectrum. She includes case studies of rape victims, and offers the reader a vision of what a world without rape deniers would be like. Very worthwhile. less
