Lulled into complacency by these national maxims, the public is occasionally shocked by glaring acts of racist and sexist violence brought to their attention by the sensationalist media. But nobody pauses to consider the historical antecedents and root causes of these tragedies. Discourses of Denial uncovers how racism, sexism, and violence interweave deep within the foundations of our society. Using examples from the lives of immigrant girls and women of colour, Yasmin Jiwani considers the way accepted definitions of race and gender shape and influence public consciousness. With a perspective both academic and activist, she exposes how media representations of violence serve the status quo and fail to tell the whole story about racialized and gendered inequalities. In linking race, gender, and violence, Discourses of Denial makes an important contribution to our understanding of the complex and interconnected influences that shape the violence of contemporary social reality and that contour the lives of racialized women. This book is of particular relevance to readers interested in the intersection of race, gender, and violence in our increasingly mediated society. 606 $aWomen immigrants$xViolence against$zCanada 606 $aMinority women$xViolence against$zCanada 606 $aSex discrimination against women$zCanada 606 $aRace discrimination$zCanada 606 $aViolence$xPress coverage$zCanada 606 $aViolence$zCanada 606 $aViolence envers les immigrantes$zCanada 606 $aViolence envers les femmes issues des minorites$zCanada 606 $aDiscrimination a l'egard des femmes$zCanada 606 $aDiscrimination raciale$zCanada 606 $aViolence dans la presse$zCanada 606 $aViolence$zCanada 615 0$aWomen immigrants$xViolence against 615 0$aMinority women$xViolence against 615 0$aSex discrimination against women 615 0$aRace discrimination 615 0$aViolence$xPress coverage 615 0$aViolence 615 6$aViolence envers les immigrantes 615 6$aViolence envers les femmes issues des minorites 615 6$aDiscrimination a l'egard des femmes 615 6$aDiscrimination raciale 615 6$aViolence dans la presse 615 6$aViolence 676 $a305.48/800971 700 $aJiwani$b Yasmin$01643824 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811378103321 996 $aDiscourses of denial$93989309 997 $aUNINA
