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. 000425254 60010 $$aShepard, Matthew,$$d1976-1998. 000425254 60010 $$aByrd, James,$$cJr.,$$d1949-1998. 000425254 650_0 $$aHate crimes$$zUnited States$$xPublic opinion. 000425254 650_0 $$aGays$$xCrimes against$$zUnited States. 000425254 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xCrimes against. 000425254 650_0 $$aAfrican American men$$xViolence against. 000425254 650_0 $$aRacism$$zUnited States. 000425254 650_0 $$aHomophobia$$zWyoming$$zLaramie. 000425254 650_0 $$aMass media and public opinion$$zUnited States. 000425254 650_0 $$aMass media and gays$$zUnited States. 000425254 650_0 $$aMass media and race relations$$zUnited States. 000425254 650_0 $$aMass media$$zUnited States$$xInfluence. 000425254 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPetersen, Jennifer, 1970-$$tMurder, the media, and the politics of public feelings.$$dBloomington : Indiana University Press, 2011$$z9780253356598$$z9780253223395$$w(DLC) 2011004521$$w(OCoLC)692291400 000425254 8520_ $$bacq 000425254 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000425254 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3014854$$zOnline Access 000425254 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:425254$$pGLOBAL_SET 000425254 980__ $$aEBOOK 000425254 980__ $$aBIB 000425254 982__ $$aEbook 000425254 983__ $$aOnline
