Nechama Brodie Bücher

Making up less than half a percent of all homicides reported each year, farm killings dominate the national narrative on violence. At the heart of the conflict is a long history of violence on agricultural land, and deep-rooted fears and prejudices about race, belonging, and who gets to feel safe in South Africa. In this powerful new book, journalist and violence researcher Dr Nechama Brodie, author of Femicide in South Africa, challenges many of the myths used to narrate farm killings. -- Summary from book

In this book, Dr Nechama Brodie looks at the story of femicide in South Africa over the past forty years. She interrogates police, public health and media data, exploring the history of violence against women in an entirely new way that contextualises and challenges the state and public response to what has, in reality, been a crisis for decades. --Publisher's description
