Everyday Violence
"Everyday Violence is a grounded, unapologetically feminist intersectional analysis of catcalling and LGBTQ-directed aggression on the New York City streets. Catcalling and LGBTQ-directed aggression are manifestations of overlapping systems of oppression and evidence of the widespread and normalized violence women and LGBTQ people face. Everyday Violence is a must-read for academics and activists fatigued of carceral feminism—who seek bold and innovative solutions to gendered and sexual violence based on transformative justice and community accountability."
Angela Jones, author of Camming: Money, Power, and Pleasure in the Sex Work Industry

"In this dazzling work of engaged scholarship, Simone Kolysh responds to a terribly pressing need: to understand anti-woman and anti-LGBTQ street harassment as related forms of public violence. Kolysh reveals these intersecting phenomena to be as unwieldy as they are ubiquitous, freighted with sexism, racism, transphobia, and class power. Yet change is possible, and Kolysh’s 'everyday' represents both the problem and the promise of the public realm."
Matt Brim, author of Poor Queer Studies: Confronting Elitism in the University
"The book’s strengths are its conceptual contributions and readability — with direct and sometimes provocative claims—that will appeal to many audiences. Everyday Violence is necessary reading for everyone committed to understanding and ending street harassment. The book will benefit scholars and students of public health, criminology, gender studies, queer studies, trans studies, women’s studies, urban sociology, and urban planning."
Vanessa R. Panfil, Gender & Society
