Review: "This book is born of a contradiction: on hand, there has been a genuine advance in the awareness of violence against women and children and actions to oppose it. On the other, the violence persists and so does the counter-attack against those who seek to expose it." "Patrizia Romito's extraordinary book describes the links between discrimination, violence against women and violence against children and, uniquely, uncovers the strategies and tactics used for concealing it. Her analysis, corroborated by a solid theoretical framework as well as up-to-date international research data, powerfully reveals the interconnectedness of what initially might appear as separate events of measures. The book also demonstrates how the same tactics and strategies are at work in various different countries." "Written in clear and direct style, the book is a essential tool for anyone - professional, researcher of activist - wanting to understand male violence against women and children and to oppose it."--BOOK JACKET.
