NOTES

Introduction -- The invisible threat -- Carceral feminism and the Violence Against Women Act -- Intimate damage -- Reproducing state violence -- Rape culture and the carceral capitalist police state -- Seizing the means of reproduction -- Against saviors -- The culture war -- Survivor justice -- Another world

Survivor Injustice shatters the harmful and convenient narrative that abuse is a "private matter" perpetrated by individual bad actors and situates popular understandings of domestic abuse in an indictment of the racism, misogyny, and carcerality baked into U.S. culture and politics.--
