Title: New Versions of Victims: Feminists Struggle With the Concept
Editor(s): Sharon Lamb
Date Published: 1999
Annotation: This book explores ways of constructing exploitation and victimization, power and consent, relationships and identity.
Abstract: The eight chapters in this book focus on specific areas of abuse, such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, acquaintance rape, and rape. They also focus on broader issues, such as teen-adult relationships, victims and agency, the media and the victim, therapists and backlash critics. Chapters examine the incest recovery movement and the debate over repressed and recollected memory. Others criticize approaches and content of some healing programs. One chapter discusses women’s use of violence in intimate relationships, including examples of women’s violence from cultures other than white U.S. “mainstream” culture, and the meanings women ascribe to their violence. A chapter on rape explores whether being the object of violence necessarily makes one a victim of violence and to what extent it is in women’s best interest to be called a “victim.” An examination of adult-teen relationships challenges the idea that when older men date teenage girls, the girls are necessarily passive victims.
