Winner, 2025 Outstanding Book Award, International Communication Association Co-Winner, 2025 Best Book Award from the Philosophy, Theory, and Critique Division of the International Communication Association Why is being a victim such a potent identity today? Who claims to be a victim, and why? How have such claims changed in the past century? Who benefits and who loses from the struggles over victimhood in public culture?

She argues that even though victimhood has long been used to excuse violence and hierarchy, social media platforms and far-right populism have turned victimhood into a weapon of the privileged.
