"A trauma revolution is quietly sweeping social services in the United States. For
women who have experienced domestic violence, proving that you are a "good victim"
is no longer enough when navigating these institutions. Women must also show that
they are recovering, as if domestic violence were a disease: they must show that they
are transforming from "victims" into "survivors." Through archival research, life
story interviews, and participation observation, The Politics of Surviving shows that
"becoming" a survivor is full of contradictions, perils, politics, and pleasures.
Using an intersectional lens, Paige L. Sweet reveals how the idea of "resilience"
and being a "survivor" can become a coercive force in women's lives. With nuance and
compassion, The Politics of Surviving wrestles with questions about the gendered nature
of the welfare state, the unintended consequences of feminist mobilizations for these
programs, and the women who are left behind by the limited forms of citizenship we
offer them"
