This edited collection provides an intersectional and transnational exploration of representations of sexual violence and rape within films, television shows, and digital media in the wake of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. Drawing upon sociology, gender studies, cultural studies, media studies, and in particular Black feminist studies, chapters focus on the voices and experiences of Black, indigenous, and other women of color. The editors and contributors examine the dominant narrative of the thin, white, cisgender, heterosexual white female victim, and the ways in which social and cultural conversations around race and gender impact and are impacted by depictions of sexual violence in media. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in sociology, gender studies, and media studies, particularly those interested in the intersectionality of race and gender.
