Queer feminist author and activist Sarah Schulman discusses her new book, CONFLICT IS NOT ABUSE: OVERSTATING HARM, COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY AND THE DUTY OF REPAIR.

In this captivating new work, the author of GENTRIFICATION OF THE MIND and SHIMMER connects the feminist anti-violence movement’s cooptation by the state, Canadian laws that criminalize HIV transmission, same-sex marriage and compensatory motherhood, shaming and shunning in personal relationships, and the Israeli assault on Gaza.
