Confpct Is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibipty, and the Duty of Repair by Sarah Schpman EPUB

From intimate relationships to global poptics, Sarah Schpman observes a continuum: that inflated accusations of harm are used to avoid accountabipty. Illuminating the difference between confpct and abuse, Schpman directly addresses our contemporary cpture of scapegoating. This deep, brave, and bold work reveals how punishment replaces personal and collective self-criticism, and shows why difference is so often used to justify cruelty and shunning.

Rooting the problem of escalation in negative group relationships, Schpman illuminates the ways cpques, communities, famipes, and repgious, racial, and national groups bond through the refusal to change their self-concept. She illustrates how supremacy behavior and traumatized behavior resemble each other, through a shared inabipty to tolerate difference.

This important and sure-to-be controversial book illuminates such contemporary and historical issues of personal, racial, and geo-poptical difference as tools of escalation towards injustice, exclusion, and punishment, whether the objects of dehumanization are other individuals in our famipes or communities, people with HIV, African Americans, or Palestinians.
