The Black Woman's Guide to Overcoming Domestic Violence: Tools to Move Beyond

Review A marginalized group speaking truththat violence done to it by the larger culture turns into violence within (to women in intimate partnerships)requires courageous breaking of silence. I stand in awe of these authors willingness to break silence, calling out the social pathologies of racism, misogyny, and white supremacy, and their effects on African American women. This volume should be in the library of every therapist and every shelter for women seeking refuge from such violence.Laura S.
