Drawing on a wide range of crime novels written over the last decade, Binder emphasises the genre’s feminist potential and critically maps its political work at the intersection of gender and race. Her study challenges the perception of crime fiction as a trivial genre and shows how, in South Africa at least, it provides a vibrant platform for social, cultural and ethical debates, exposing violence, misogyny and racism and shedding light on the problematics of law and justice for women faced with crime. Readership: All interested in crime fiction and its gender/racial political potential, its cultural relevance, its ethics and aesthetics, in South Africa and beyond.Costerus ;Volume 230.Female offenders in literatureVictims of crimes in literatureWomen detectives in literatureLiterary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writersFemale offenders in literature.Victims of crimes in literature.Women detectives in literature.823.087209968Binder Sabine993603NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476894503321Women and Crime in Post-Transitional South African Crime Fiction2275139UNINA
