Description
A Kirkus Best Book of 2024An “impeccably researched book” (Michelle Bowdler) about intimate abuse, campus politics, and the narratives we choose to believe “gives a fresh perspective on what it means to be a survivor.” (Kirkus starred review)In this poignant self-investigation, historian and journalist Joy Neumeyer explores how violence against women is portrayed, perceived, and adjudicated today. Interweaving the harrowing account of the abuse she experienced as a graduate student at Berkeley with those of others who faced violence on campus and beyond, Neumeyer offers a startling look at how the hotly-debated Title IX system has altered university politics and culture, and uncovers the willful misremembrance that enables misconduct on scales large and researched, daringly inquisitive, and resonant for our times, A Survivor’s Education reveals the entanglement of storytelling, abuse, and power-and how we can balance narrative and evidence in our attempts to determine what “really” happened.
