Are all victims white? Are all villains black?
From fears of "amalgamation" used to fan anti-abolitionist flames
in nineteenth century New York, to a white female highway patrol
officer's "fear of a Mandingo sexual encounter" that was said to
have led to the beating and arrest of black motorist Rodney King,
conceptualizations of race and gender have fueled fears about crime
in the US, past and present.
White Victims, Black Villains traces how race and gender have
combined in news media narratives about crime and violence in US
culture. The book argues that the criminalization of African
Americans in US culture has been most consistently and effectively
legitimized by news media deeply invested in protecting and
maintaining white supremacy.
An illuminating, and often shocking text, "White Victims, Black
Villains" ""should be read by anyone interested in race and
politics.
