Finally, a truly superb volume on the topic of sexual assault. I
highly recommend it. There are valuable pieces for everyone
here—students, scholars, and those wanting to learn more about the
subject of rape and sexual aggression, its impract on victims, and
strategies for change.

This anthology serves up the leading experts and most engaging
voices. Confronting Rape and Sexual Assault will be a useful primer
for students, health care workers, law enforcement officials, and
public policymakers. I anticipate that it will quickly become the
standard reference work on the subject because of its thorough
coverage.
*Ginny Daley, Duke University Libraries*
An excellent text that should be required reading for anyone
interested in the issue. Sexual violence is placed in an
institutional and cultural context, and the intersections of sexual
assault and race, ethnicity, and gender are explored.

Against Sexual Assault*
