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\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40808191426657,"sku":"9781509553822","price":15.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28055468.jpg?v=1722276506","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781509553822-believability","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
