The intense media coverage of the murders made moments of violence based in racism and homophobia highly visible and which eventually led to the passage of The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act in 2009. The role the media played in cultivating, shaping, and directing the collective emotional response toward these crimes is the subject of this gripping new book by Jennifer Petersen. Tracing the emotional exchange from news stories to the creation of law, Petersen calls for an approach to media and democratic politics that takes into account the role of affect in the political and legal life of the nation. 001397672 60010 $$aShepard, Matthew,$$d1976-1998. 001397672 60010 $$aByrd, James,$$cJr.,$$d1949-1998. 001397672 650_0 $$aHate crimes$$zUnited States$$xPublic opinion. 001397672 650_0 $$aGays$$xCrimes against$$zUnited States. 001397672 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xCrimes against. 001397672 650_0 $$aAfrican American men$$xViolence against. 001397672 650_0 $$aRacism$$zUnited States. 001397672 650_0 $$aHomophobia$$zWyoming$$zLaramie. 001397672 650_0 $$aMass media and public opinion$$zUnited States. 001397672 650_0 $$aMass media and gays$$zUnited States. 001397672 650_0 $$aMass media and race relations$$zUnited States. 001397672 650_0 $$aMass media$$zUnited States$$xInfluence. 001397672 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPetersen, Jennifer, 1970-$$tMurder, the media, and the politics of public feelings.$$dBloomington : Indiana University Press, 2011$$z9780253356598$$z9780253223395$$w(DLC) 2011004521$$w(OCoLC)692291400 001397672 8520_ $$bacq 001397672 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 001397672 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=385449$$zOnline Access 001397672 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:425254$$pGLOBAL_SET 001397672 980__ $$aEBOOK 001397672 980__ $$aBIB 001397672 982__ $$aEbook 001397672 983__ $$aOnline
