The group INCITE! was born 7 years ago and already boasts 2000 members, with chapters in 20 cities! 33 of these women have joined forces and written powerful and thought-provoking essays for "Color of Violence." They are diverse and cover, but also diverge from common topics of abuse. Each writing is an innovative look at long-standing issues for women and especially women of color. There's testimony of abuse within the shelter system and the history and current realities of rape in the African American community. Also, writing from different communities about their histories, such as the founding South Asian Womens Organizations, or SAWO's and the opportunities they provided South Asians in America. This book is Impressively insightful, and full of content, yet still highly readable and emotionally moving.
