Color of Rape by Sujata Moorti
Analyzes the depiction of rape on television network news, daytime shows, prime time programming, and alternative programming. Honorable Mention, 2003 Myers Outstanding Book Award presented by The Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights in North America Through an analysis of television images of rape, this book makes important contributions to theories of the public sphere as well as feminist theories of rape. It shows how issues pertaining to race and gender are integrated in television discussions of rape, and how ideas of race, stereotypes of black (male and female) sexuality, and the perceived threat of miscegenation continue to shape contemporary attitudes toward sexual violence.Sujata Moorti is Assistant Professor, College of Arts and Letters, Old Dominion University.
