{"product_id":"contesting-the-utopia-von-grace-giorgio","title":"Contesting the Utopia","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing from the lived and shared experiences of  abused lesbians in small town and urban America,  Contesting the Utopia investigates the dissonance  between lived experience of lesbian battering and  the  dominant discourses of relationship violence.   Survivors''  stories of denial of services and rejection from  their  own communities reveal how the power of utopic  beliefs  in lesbian relationships influence abusive relationship  outcomes. Throughout the book, I argue that battered  lesbians traverse complex networks of power  relations,  which they also resist in individually private as  well  as expressly public ways.  Contesting the Utopia  challenges us all to reconsider our basic  assumptions  of gendered violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838315720\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePower and Resistance in Abusive Lesbian Relationships\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838315720","offer_id":39497118548061,"sku":"9783838315720","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/89ff9ed6-6a77-4378-895c-3fd8afcdad4f.jpg?v=1757741602","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/contesting-the-utopia-von-grace-giorgio","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
