{"product_id":"believability-sarah-banet-weiser-9781509553822","title":"Believability: Sexual Violence, Media, and the Politics of Doubt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe #MeToo movement created more opportunities for women to speak up about sexual assault. But we are also living in a time when \"fake news\" and \"alternative facts\" call into question the very nature of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis troubling paradox is at the heart of this compelling book. The convergence of #MeToo and the crisis of post-truth is used to explore the experiences of women and people of color whose claims around issues of sexual violence are often held in doubt. Banet-Weiser and Higgins investigate how the gendered and racialized logics of \"believability\" are defined and contested within media culture, proposing that a mediated \"economy of believability\" is the context in which public bids for truth about sexual violence are made, negotiated, and authorized today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Banet-Weiser, Kathryn Claire Higgins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509553827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509553822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024","brand":"Sarah Banet-Weiser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159578374399,"sku":"9781509553822","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d7e6c6e-5b2a-45e6-aa93-13e9ca49139d.jpg?v=1689083442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/believability-sarah-banet-weiser-9781509553822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
