Gendered Politics in the Modern South: The Susan Smith Case and the Rise of a New Sexism

Keira V. Williams

4.9/5 (14140 ratings)

Description:In Gendered Politics in the Modern South, Keira V. Williams uses the Susan Smith case to analyze what she calls the new sexism found in the agenda of the budding neo-conservative movement of the 1990s. Just days after Smith s confession to killing her children, soon-to-be Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich linked Smith s behavior to the 1960s counterculture and to Lyndon Johnson s Great Society programs. At the same time, the assault on liberal social causes gained momentum as the media declared the death of feminism and a crisis in masculinity. In response to this perceived crisis, Williams argues, a distinct code of gender discrimination developed, one that sought to reassert a traditional form of white male power at the end of the twentieth century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
