Terrorizing Gender

Transgender Visibility and the Surveillance Practices of the U.S. Security State

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

2020 Diamond Anniversary Book Award from the National Communication Association  Mia Fischer connects media coverage with state regulation of transgender people to show how, despite their increased visibility in national discourse, dominant representations of trans people as deceptive, deviant, and threatening are used to justify, even normalize, state-sanctioned violence against transgender communities.
