Coercion

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A searing investigation into the intersecting structures that control the lives of women and pregnant people' -- <i>Lit Hub</i> 'Clear-eyed and cutting ... calls into question the very notion that America is an advanced society, let alone a just one.' -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> 'A compelling and timely examination of the state of abortion access in the United States ... Cheung is bipartisan in her criticism, skewering both conservatives and Democrats' inaction on abortion rights and inattention to the suffering of Palestinian women and children in Gaza' -- <i>Library Journal</i> 'Exposes reproductive coercion' -- <i>Teen Vogue</i> 'Kylie Cheung is an activist's dream. Not only is she committed to helping us all understand the damage abortion bans can do, she empowers readers with ways they can be part of the solution. Her book is a must-read for getting informed, staying sane and learning to fight back' -- Lizz Winstead, founder of Abortion Front and co-creator of <i>The Daily Show</i> 'Kylie Cheung writes some of the most important dispatches from the front lines of women and marginalized people getting their rights systemically stripped around the world' -- Kat Tenbarge, <i>Spitfire News</i> 'In this searingly personal, gripping account, Kylie Cheung explodes the conventional wisdom surrounding coercion and abortion. This book is an important new starting point for conversations about the real meaning of reproductive coercion' -- Mary Ruth Ziegler, author of <i>Roe: The History of a National Obsession</i> 'Cheung's writing has clear eyes, sharp teeth, gorgeous rhythms, and immense power. This is an urgent, unforgettable book' -- Hannah Matthews, author of <i>You Or Someone You Love</i> 'Kylie Cheung skillfully shows us how the U.S. wields its foundational systemic oppressions against marginalized communities, especially women, gender expansive, and pregnant people in the post-Roe landscape. This book is required reading for everyone, and even if you think the issues covered don't affect you, Cheung's incisive analysis, journalistic skill, and compassionate approach quickly dispel that notion' -- Lara Witt, editor-in-chief of <i>Prism</i> 'A searing indictment of both conservative and liberal politicians' adherence to capitalism, white supremacy, war and policing, and how they have left justice for sexual violence survivors and abortion access in the lurch. A must-read for all who care about bodily autonomy.' -- Renee Bracey Sherman, founder of <i>We Testify</i> and co-author of <i>LIBERATING ABORTION</i> 'In a moment when pro-choice politics feels stuck on defense, Coercion offers a necessary jolt of clarity and courage. Clear-eyed and meticulously-researched, Cheung's book exposes the violence of abortion bans-and demands that we think bigger.' -- Jessica Valenti, <i>Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win</i>
