description: Violence is nurturance turned backwards writes Nora Samaran. In Turn This World Inside Out she presents Nurturance Culture as the opposite of rape culture and suggests how alternative models of care and accountabilitydifferent from call-outs which are often rooted in the politics of shame and guiltcan move toward inverting cultures of dominance and systems of oppression. When communities are able to recognize and speak up about systemic violence center the needs of those harmed and hold a circle of belonging that humanizes everyone they create a revolutionary foundation of nurturance that can begin to repair the harms inflicted by patriarchy white supremacy and capitalism. Emerging out of insights in Gender Studies Race Theory and Psychology and influenced by contemporary social movements Turn This World Inside Out speaks to some of the most pressing issues of our time.
