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. 410 0$aCosterus ;$vVolume 230. 606 $aFemale offenders in literature 606 $aVictims of crimes in literature 606 $aWomen detectives in literature 610 $aLiterary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers 615 0$aFemale offenders in literature. 615 0$aVictims of crimes in literature. 615 0$aWomen detectives in literature. 676 $a823.087209968 700 $aBinder$b Sabine$0993603 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476894503321 996 $aWomen and Crime in Post-Transitional South African Crime Fiction$92275139 997 $aUNINA
