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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese essays offer the first comprehensive study of the rhetorical administration 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women's Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 178 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032018195\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646828933370,"sku":"9781032018195","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697219513010_book.jpg?v=1697575406","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/metoo-a-rhetorical-zeitgeist-9781032018195","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
