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.
