{"product_id":"9781509553822","title":"Believability : Sexual Violence, Media, and the Politics of Doubt by Sarah Banet-Weiser","description":"The #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.    This 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302553104757,"sku":"9781509553822","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509553822.jpg?v=1762792843","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781509553822","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
