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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this timely and incisive book, Lilie Chouliaraki shows how claiming victimhood is about claiming power: who deserves to be protected as a victim and who should be punished as a perpetrator. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on recent examples such as the overturning of Roe v.
