{"product_id":"believability","title":"Believability","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","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50021022269690,"sku":"9781509553815","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_5e2869e5-7564-4436-b0c5-0f91e26167f6.jpg?v=1786137200","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/believability","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
