Conflict Is Not Abuse by Sarah Schulman
Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair
This thought-provoking work delves into the nuanced distinctions between conflict and abuse, challenging the tendency to conflate the two. It explores how societal and personal dynamics often escalate misunderstandings into exaggerated perceptions of harm, leading to unnecessary alienation and punishment. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, historical analysis, and cultural critique, the book advocates for a more discerning approach to interpersonal and social conflicts, urging individuals and communities to embrace accountability, empathy, and dialogue as tools for resolution and healing.
