It draws together 19 accessible chapters from academics, practitioners, and sexual violence activists across the globe to provide diverse, critical, and nuanced perspectives on the broader implications of the movement. It taps into wider conversations about the nature, history, and complexities of anti-rape and anti-sexual harassment politics, including the limitations of the movement including in the global South. It features both internationally recognised and emerging academics from across the fields of criminology, media and communications, film studies, gender and queer studies, and law and will appeal broadly to the academic community, activists, and beyond.</p><p></p>

“This collection makes an intervention into the theory and politics of sexual violence post #MeToo. Bringing together a range of different contributors and perspectives, it draws out some of the complexities surrounding the issue of sexual violence. Although the collection resists an over-arching message, the theme of inclusion/exclusion is prominent, and it includes a number of more marginalised voices. Overall, this book situates #MeToo and the feminist movement against sexual violence within broader questions about intersectionality, feminist activism and social change. Its final question, inspired by #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, is the right one: ‘where to from here?’” (Alison Phipps,&nbsp;Professor of Gender Studies,&nbsp;University of Sussex, UK)<p>“This timely collection offers a thrilling and insightful engagement with #MeToo as a media phenomenon and social movement. Asking difficult questions about who speaks, whose stories are heard, who defines what sexual violence is and whose experiences matter, Bianca Fileborn and Rachel Loney-Howes have brought together a wide range of incisive contributions to reflect on one of the most important topics of our age. This is an important collection that will shape scholarship in the field.” (Rosalind Gill, Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis, University of London, UK)<br></p> <p>“This fresh, erudite and eclectic collection invites readers to meditate on sexual violence politics and activism within and beyond the #MeToo Movement. It explores debates about the significance of #MeToo within feminist history as well as digital activism and social movements more broadly. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about violence and inequality.” (Nicola Henry, Associate Professor and Principal Research Fellow, Social and Global Studies Centre, RMIT, Australia)<br></p>
