It is actually the best.

” What would it take to end violence against women of color?
How does the mainstream antiviolence movement help? How does it hinder?
When will we admit that repositioning women of color at the center of the movement—
women more often harmed by the police, prisons, and border patrols than aided by them—
means that we must address state violence?

In Color of Violence, INCITE! demands that we
• reconsider a reliance on the criminal justice system for solving women’s struggles with domestic violence;
• acknowledge how militarism subjects women to extreme levels of violence perpetrated from within, and without, their communities;
• recognize how the medical establishment inflicts violence—such as involuntary sterilization and inadequate health care—on women of color;
• devise new strategies for cross-cultural dialogue, theorizing, and alliance building;
• and much, much more.”
