Sapphic Slashers: Sex, Violence, and American Modernity Hardcover - 2000
by Lisa Duggan
First line
Opening a U.S. newspaper on a typical day, a contemporary reader confronts the national, international, and local news, arranged on the page according to widely agreed upon hierarchies of significance, and conveyed in familiar genres of "hard" news, news analysis, features, editorials, and special interest or lifestyle reporting on subjects from sports to fashion.
From the rear cover
"In this stunningly coherent and compelling account of the development of 'American modernity, ' Duggan captures our interest with the sensational tale of lesbian love murder but then insists that we read this tale through turn-of-the-century debates over racial violence and against the backdrop of the medicalization of homosexuality. "Sapphic Slashers "has 'classic' written all over it."--Judith Halberstam, author of "Female Masculinity"
