This edited collection on #MeToo activism challenges the
overwhelming whiteness and straightness of #MeToo discourse and
coverage. Using intersectional and decolonial frameworks and
historical, archival, organizational and legal methods, these
essays offer a rich exploration of #MeToo to understand how
activism around sexualized violence reproduce and harm a wide
variety of people. The swift and powerful arrival of #MeToo as a
compilation of complaints about sexual misconduct (especially in
the workplace) has created pressure to dive deeper into the history
of sexual assault and abuse in the United States. #MeToo: A
Rhetorical Zeitgeist answers the call for more complicated analyses
of systemic sexual harassment and abuse with essays that are deeply
concerned with the whiteness and heterosexuality of #MeToo coverage
and media framing to understand how and why #MeToo began to capture
the public's attention in 2017 against the backdrop of Donald J.
Trump's presidential administration. These essays offer the first
comprehensive study of the rhetorical politics of #MeToo. They
tackle the complexities of sexual harassment, sexual violence and
rape beyond white celebrity discourse to understand: how both
violence and #MeToo activism affect transgender people; how #MeToo
fails Black male victims of assault and rape; how Indian-American
masculinity and comedy skirt sexual accountability; how the legal
and affective precedent in the Supreme Court during the Kavanaugh
hearings amplified concerns about sexual assault and rape;
decolonial approaches to resisting sexualized violence from
indigenous peoples; and narratives about assault from within the
higher education community. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Women's Studies in
Communication.
