Books about Deafening from Amazon.com

Frances Itani's lauded and award-winning American debut novel has been sold in sixteen countries, was a Canadian best seller for sixteen weeks, reaching #1, and has been awarded the Commonwealth Writers Prize Best Book Award for the Caribbean and Canadian Region. Set on the eve of the Great War, Deafening is a tale of remarkable virtuosity and power. At the age of five, Grania emerges from a bout of scarlet fever profoundly deaf, and is suddenly sealed off from the world that was just beginning to open for her. Sent to the Ontario School for the Deaf, Grania must learn to live away from her family. When Grania falls in love with Jim Lloyd, a young hearing man, her life seems complete, but WWI soon tears them apart when Jim is sent to the battlefields of Flanders. During this long and brutal war of attrition, Jim and Grania's letters back and forth-both real and imagined-attempt to sustain the intimacy they discovered in Canada. A magnificent tale of love and war, Deafening is also an ode to language-how it can console, imprison, and liberate, and how it alone can bridge vast chasms of geography and experience..

This book is born of a contradiction: on the one hand, there has been a genuine advance in the awareness of male violence and actions to oppose it. On the other, male violence against women persists So too does its denial, and the counter-attack against those who seek to expose it. Patrizia Romito's extraordinary book analyses male violence against women and children, and the mechanisms society develops to push it out of sight. It describes the links between discrimination, violence against women and violence against children, and uncovers the strategies and tactics used to conceal it, including denial, legitimization, euphemisation, blaming the victim and compartmentalisation.Written in a clear and direct style, the author offers both a synthesis of recent international data and a theoretical analysis of the mechanisms of concealment. It is an essential tool for anyone - professional, researcher or activist - wanting to understand male violence against women and children and to oppose it..

FREEDOM FOR PRISONERS OF SEXUAL ABUSE

The pain of sexual abuse is often concealed by those who carry its scars. Chained as prisoners of the past, many hide in secrecy afraid of the consequences of revealing the horrors of childhood experiences. On the surface they may seem carefree and happy, yet inside a festering wound exists. The only road to freedom from this prison requires confronting the past and revealing its pain in the light.

Barbara Hansen knows the anguish of sexual abuse, pornography, infertility, postpartum depression, and marriage betrayal. Once trapped in her own prison of anger and bitterness, she was finally set free through the grace of God. Her story provides hope for the hopeless and healing for those willing to face the past and be released..
