Notes:	"... provides a comparative analysis of public discourses in France and Australia on a series of highly mediatised racialised gang rapes that occurred during the early to mid-2000s. These rapes led to intense public debate in both countries regarding an apparent 'gang rape phenomenon' associated with young men of Muslim background. By comparing the responses to similar instances of sexual violence in two very different Western liberal democracies, this book explores the relationship between constructions of national, gender and ethnic identity in modern, developed nations of the West." from description Contents 1.Introduction 2.The 'Sydney gang rape' trials 3.'White angels' and 'Muslim misogynists': Survivor and rapist discourses 4.'Talking race or racism'?
