This text is what is missing from the national discussion about campus sexual assault. Expertly researched and contextualizing compelling anecdotal accounts with larger trends, in particular, Internet activism and social justice movements, it will undoubtedly transcend the academic audience and become a classic primer for all who study this issue, advocate against sexual and gender violence, and seek to improve societal responses to sexual assault and harassment. -- Christina Mancini, Virginia Commonwealth University An engaging and intelligent book, The New Campus Anti-Rape Movement: Internet Activism and Social Justice by Heldman, Ackerman, and Breckenridge-Jackson, lays out a history of activism around sexual violence on campus, provides an insightful analysis, and offers a road-map forward. The New Campus Anti-Rape Movement should be required reading by all those who claimor would like to claimexpertise on campus sexual violence and it should also be read by everyone who cares about the profound injustice of campus rape. -- Jennifer J. Freyd, University of Oregon This timely book offers an intersectional analysis of one of the most significant social movements in our time: campus anti-sexual assault activism. The authors provide an important resource for scholars and activists who work on sexual assault and harassment, historicizing the campus anti-rape movement within a history of struggle for gender justice. The authors contribute to shifting the burden of shame to where it belongs: on the immediate perpetrators of sexual assault as well as those whose silence makes them complicit in the harm being done to others. This book is a useful primer for those committed to ensuring that our college campuses are safe and equitable learning environments. -- Kimberly Theidon, Tufts University
