{"product_id":"9780993031519","title":"House Arrest \u0026 Disobedience","description":"Violence against women in their own homes is an epidemic in India; it is hidden from neighbours, rarely reported to police stations, and left out of national statistics and the media. If it were a criminal offence to emotionally and physically abuse a woman, then we have all shared a neighbourhood with criminals for years, without acknowledging them.\u003cp\u003eThis violence is not restricted to women: it also extends to their children. What kind of lives do they go on to live? How do they become so captive to this routine that they accept it to be a fact of life? Whilst the phrase 'Domestic Violence' is readily dismissed in India, this book creates a new perspective of looking at this phenomenon by naming it House Arrest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe humans are filled with powerful paradoxes, one of which is suppression and resilience. Even in times when our individualities, bodies, beliefs or human rights are suppressed, we carry a surging resilience within us. It is this resilience, called in the Indian nonviolent tradition as Satyagraha:Disobedience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the intimate lens of poetry, House Arrest \u0026amp; Disobedience exposes the daily realities of the survivors of this violence and the lives of people who continue to live under its decree.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smallberry Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50057192407280,"sku":"9780993031519","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780993031519_p0.jpg?v=1784738695","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780993031519","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
