Violent Differences is a groundbreaking work that delves into the experiences of queer male survivors, with a special focus on Black queer men. While previous research on male survivors has primarily emphasized masculinity, Doug Meyer argues that race and sexuality should be considered equally fundamental as gender. Instead of abstractly analyzing sexual assault against queer men, this book brings to light the lived experiences of survivors through in-depth interviews with sixty queer men who have faced sexual assault. Meyer's analysis highlights the interactions these men had with the police and the prevalence of victim blaming they faced.  Violent Differences goes beyond traditional approaches to studying sexual assault by including a new group of survivors and emphasizing the continued relevance of race, gender, and sexuality in understanding the experiences of this violence. This book is a vital contribution to the field of social work and gender studies, shedding light on the experiences of marginalized communities and challenging dominant narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780520384699\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doug Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44784719659258,"sku":"9780520384699","price":64.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1700227217501_book.jpg?v=1700330172","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/violent-differences-the-importance-of-race-in-sexual-assault-against-queer-men-9780520384699","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
