Violent Differences: The Importance of Race in Sexual Assault Against Queer Men Meyer Doug
2023 Honorable Mention for Outstanding Book Award from the Society for the Study of Social ProblemsDespite rising attention to sexual assault and sexual violence, queer men have been largely excluded from the discussion. Whereas previous scholarship on male survivors has emphasized the role of masculinity, Doug Meyer shows that race and sexuality should be regarded as equally foundational as gender.Instead of analyzing sexual assault against queer men in the abstract, this book draws attention to survivors' lived experiences. Violent Differences is the first book of its kind to focus specifically on queer male survivors and to devote particular attention to Black queer men.
Meyer examines interview data from sixty queer men who have suffered sexual assault, highlighting their interactions with the police and their encounters with victim blaming.
