“My students and I are enjoying Deadly Fever. It’s a great text for 3rd year students in my Sociology of the Mass Media course. It would also be useful in other courses that take up any of several timely themes: news media politics (particularly, the covert racism in neo-liberal discourse), racialization and/or immigration panic in the context of the changing demographics in Canada, anxiety over Canadian “national identity” in the context of globalized risk, and so on. A key strength of the book is its analysis of the intersection of gender, race and nation, in examining how the media produces the black female body as a particular threat to the nation.”
