What We Talk About When We Talk about Rape
by Sohaila Abdulali
I don't think any review that I could write would do this title justice. Abdulali, the author of this book, has dedicated her life to studying all aspects of sexual violence. As a rape survivor herself, her dedication to helping others overcome similar situations is inspiring. What I liked most about this book is that it does not just focus on sexual assault in the United States. Abdulali uses case studies from all over the world and shows how different cultures handle sexual violence. This title was informative and I really enjoyed the writing style the author decided to use. Unlike other books about this topic, Abdulali writes with an informal tone. It is almost like you are sitting and having a conversation with her instead of reading a book. I'm sure you can tell this from the title, but there are descriptive stories of sexual violence in this book. I wanted to mention this in my review in case this topic is triggering for you.
