“Imaginative and deeply ambitious, The Work of Rape upends conventional thinking. Traversing a vast terrain, Rana M. Jaleel insists we turn from how rape has been problematically framed through various feminist legal efforts so we may reconceptualize its relation to racial and colonial world orderings of life. A brilliant and convincing book.” — Leti Volpp, Robert D. and Leslie Kay Raven Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley
