John M. Sloop is associate professor of communications at Vanderbilt University. His most recent books are The Cultural Prison: Discourse, Prisoners, and Punishment (1996) and Shifting Borders: Rhetoric, Immigration, and California's Proposition 187 (2002, coauthored with Kent A. Ono).
By arguing persuasively that bigenderism and heteronormativity structure, emerge in, and are reinforced by popular discourses, Sloop makes a strong case for why as cultural critics we must remain suspicious of popular representations of not only these cases but also others like them. - Sarah Projansky, author of Watching Rape: Film and Television in Postfeminist Culture; ""The argument is both compelling and well supported.... The book is readable and scholarly, engaging and studious."" - Lisa M. Cuklanz, author of Rape on Prime-Time: Television, Masculinity, and Sexual Violence
