Summary

This book offers a critical feminist perspective on the widely debated topic of transitional justice and forgiveness. Louise Du Toit examines the phenomenon of rape with a feminist philosophical discourse concerning women#xE2;#xAC;"s or #xE2;#xAC;#xDC;feminine#xE2;#xAC;" subjectivity and selfhood. She demonstrates how the hierarchical dichotomy of male active versus female passive sexuality #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; which obscures the true nature of rape #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; is embedded in the dominant western symbolic frame. Through a Hegelian and phenomenological reading of first-person accounts by rape victims, she excavates an understanding of rape that also starts to open up a way out of the denial and destruction of female sexual subjectivity.
