Atmospheres of Violence

More about the book

Focusing on the paradox of advancing LGBTQ rights alongside increasing violence against trans and gender-nonconforming people of color, Eric A. Stanley explores the systemic nature of racialized and gendered violence in the U.S. Through a diverse archive, including personal narratives and historical accounts, Stanley argues that inclusion often perpetuates harm rather than alleviating it. The work advocates for transformative organizing and abolitionist approaches to create sustainable futures for marginalized communities.
