Male Pattern Violence

Thirty-five stories. Thirty-five unflinching examinations of the countless ways men enact harm: physical, psychological, economic, sexual, systemic. Editor Jay Chakravarti assembles a chorus of voices that refuses easy answers. These are not stories about good men and bad men. They are stories about systems, about inheritance, about the terrible things we do when we believe we have no choice, or when we believe we have every right. From the housing projects of France to the fishing villages of Bangladesh, from Victorian England to the digital wastelands of social media moderation, Male Pattern Violence traces the architecture of male violence: not as aberrations, but as a pattern, perpetuated consciously or otherwise, since time immemorial.
