Most feminist work on gendered sexual violence focuses on adult white women, and most readings of trauma interpret it in terms of past events. Girlhoods in the Traumascape sets aside both these conventions. In Canada, girls and younger women - those most likely to face sexual violence - constantly receive messages about what could happen to them, and settler colonialism fundamentally affects their experiences. Mythili Rajiva argues that we don't know enough about how girls themselves interpret potentially traumatic social landscapes, or how racialized difference operates in the context of sexual violence. Mainstream narratives construct certain girls as either passive victims in need of adult control or empowered hyper-sexual subjects, while leaving others out of the picture entirely. Rajiva draws on affect theory, girlhood studies, and Indigenous feminism and employs focus groups of Canadian white and Indigenous girls aged thirteen to nineteen to compare how they navigate the everyday, ongoing reality of sexual violence and its discourses. With sensitivity and acuity, she lets girls reveal, in their own voices, the impacts that media messages, parental worry, school surveillance, peer interactions, potential danger in public spaces, and the legal system have on them. What strategies do Indigenous and white girls use to avoid becoming victims, and how do these differ? We need to listen.
