'The contributors have relied on intersectionality, transnationalism, inclusivity, and reflexivity in their exploration of the landscape of violence and violation in India and South Africa.'
Ipshita Mitra, Feminism in India

'This brilliant collection brings together incisive and critical accounts of feminist organising, written by, for and from scholars of colour from India and South Africa. By refuting the claim that #MeToo has travelled to the Global South, the book suggests the need for a radical re-imagining of the raced, classed gender politics of sexual violence at scalar level and offers a different perspective "from the margins".'
Sweta Rajan-Rankin, The Sociological Review

'Intimacy and injury is a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south.'
Gary Edwards, Institute of Development Studies 'Must Reads of 2022'

'The call for collaborative work across disciplines, modalities and other spaces of knowledge unrecognised by the academy is clearly a priority for decolonial, feminist and queer scholarship. The book models this admirably, it is threaded through with art, images and poetry, both in the chapters and in the reflective pieces that so poignantly draw the sections together. This is indeed a strength of this book which also presents us with a rich account of #MeToo and other feminist activisms within these two global Southern contexts, offering an important contribution to the larger scholarship around #MeToo and extending the lens of the recent international handbook (Chandra and Erlingsdóttir, 2021) which, while providing a valuable and wide scan of geopolitical contexts, included a minority of global Southern voices.'
