Book excerpt: Unhappily ever after... Clint Eastwood once said, “All marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning.” This is especially true in Nigerian culture, where thunder and lightning rule many marriages. The shocking truth is that many Nigerian women in the United States experience domestic violence every day. Mostly unseen, unheard, and unknown, they exist in a kind of shadow world, holding very little hope of escape. Fifteen Nigerian American women were interviewed for this book. They did everything the way they were “supposed” to, including receiving good educations and marrying the “right” men. Once they moved to America, they should have been in heaven, yet because of the stress of acculturation, they often find themselves in a stormy situation of dependency and abuse, unable to break free. Secrets reveal the conflicted roles of these first-generation Nigerian women in Southern California who try to live the heaven of the American Dream but end up drawn back to the lightning and thunder of their roots.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Social support for victims of domestic violence has been a well-researched topic. Abused women's experience of abuse and social support has been researched extensively. However, friends' perspective on the provision of support has not been studied and this renders our understanding of the phenomenon incomplete. Besides, researchers have studied support as an object, given by one and received by another. This study used concepts and processes from the theory of Constructivism to understand female friends' conception of the communication of support to a victim. Fifteen women were interviewed regarding their beliefs, objectives, and communicative practices in their interaction with a victim of violence. Findings indicate the complexities of the situation from the friends' perspective. Friends had multiple beliefs about the situation and effects on the victim. They also formed several aims which competed with each other and conflicted with their perception of the wants of the friend. Participants used several message practices to address univalent aims. Strategic messages that addressed competing aims and conflicting aims and victims' wants were also seen. Communication practices reflected strategies like selection, separation and integration, which have been enunciated in Constructivism. Participants' communication-related belief systems were apparent in their use of expressive and conventional message design logics. There were some instances of highly person-centered messages which reflected participants' ability to help the victim reappraise her reality. Instances of rhetorical messages that created a desired reality for both the message producer (participant) and the target (friend) were also seen. Participants also responded on their use of specific communication skills and their recommendations for training in skills that they thought would help them more in communicating with victims of abuse. Implications for research on domestic violence as well as multiple goal management through communication are discussed.

Download or read book Domestic Violence and International Law written by Bonita Meyersfeld and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic Violence and International Law argues that certain forms of domestic violence are a violation of international human rights law. The argument is based on the international law principle that, where a state fails to protect a vulnerable group of people from harm, whether perpetrated by the state or private actors, it has breached its obligations to protect against human rights violation. This book provides a comprehensive legal analysis for why a state should be accountable in international law for allowing women to suffer extreme forms of domestic violence and how this can help individual victims. It is irrelevant that the violence is perpetrated by individuals and not state actors such as soldiers or the police. The state's breach of its responsibility is in its failure to act effectively in domestic violence cases; and in its silent endorsement of the violence, it becomes complicit. The book seeks to reformulate academic and political debate on domestic violence and the responsibility of states under international law. It is based on empirical data combined with an honest assessment of whether or not domestic violence is recognised by the international community as a human rights violation. 'Domestic Violence in International Law [...] provides an original, provocative, and much needed legal framework for the coherent development of a norm against domestic violence in international human rights law...Dr. Meyersfeld has developed a thoroughgoing analysis that asks and answers the most difficult questions often neglected by academics, lawyers and activists who dismiss the possibility that systemic violence against women could violate international law...Most fundamentally, this book is memorable for the hope and optimism it expresses about the transformative possibilities of international law. For without compromising such intensely human values as privacy, autonomy and cultural identity, Dr. Meyersfeld moves her reader with an abiding conviction: that international law, fueled with the power of transnational actors, can propel public actors to protect abused and vulnerable people in their most private worlds.' From the Foreword by Harold Koh, The Legal Adviser, United States Department of State (2009-).
