Description
The prizewinning author of The Ungrateful Refugee asks who is believed in our society, who is not - and why?
Dina Nayeri's wide-ranging, groundbreaking new book combines deep reportage with her own life experience to examine what constitutes believability in our society. Intent on exploring ideas of persuasion and performance, Nayeri takes us behind the scenes in emergency rooms, corporate boardrooms, asylum interviews, and into her own family, to ask - where lies the difference between being believed and being dismissed? What does this mean for our culture?
As personal as it is profound in its reflections on language, history, morality, and compassion, Who Gets Believed? investigates the unspoken social codes that determine how we relate to one another.
