Short description:
This book traces activism against child sexual abuse from its emergence in feminist anti-rape efforts, through the development of mainstream self-help and its entry into mass media and public policy. Examining the connections between feminism, therapeutic politics, and public policy, it analyzes the processes that shape social change.
MoreLong description:
By taking a look at the vast transformation in the movement against child sexual abuse that took place from the 1970s until now, Nancy Whittier obseres and explains the ways in which activists influence society. Whittier is the first to provide a comprehensive picture of how the movement emerged as a fringe movement, entered the mainstrean, and ultimatelty had a profound effect on the political and cultural landscape.
The Politics of Child Sexual Abuse offers a significant contribution to understanding the ongoing public issue of sexual abuse that will be of interest to a wide readership, and particularly to scholars of political culture, gender and sexuality, and social movement theory.
