Routledge Racialised Gang Rape and the Reinforcement of Dominant Order

Explore a deep comparative analysis of public discourse in France and Australia through this academic work from Routledge. This book examines highly mediatised racialised gang rapes from the early to mid-2000s and the intense public debates they triggered in both nations. By focusing on the perceived gang rape phenomenon associated with young men of Muslim background, the text investigates how these events shaped social perceptions. This study provides a unique look at how Western liberal democracies respond to sexual violence. It explores the connections between national, gender, and ethnic identity constructions in modern developed nations. For students and researchers in anthropology and sociology, this book offers a detailed examination of how media and public debate influence the way race and gender are understood in a globalized context. It serves as a significant resource for understanding the social dynamics of migration and diaspora within contemporary society.
