Recenzii

"Brown's text usefully removes the study of cannibalism from the dominance of low cultural and low budget texts, and refreshingly exposes the permeability of the concept by mapping its appearance in high, middle and low cultural environs. By combining three centuries of cannibalistic depictions, Brown charts an expansive history which ultimately acts as a valuable entrance point in the study of the fictional cannibal. The correlation Brown finds between the cannibal's portrayal and the cultural, political, religious and geographical othering of certain peoples by the dominant Western media is hard to ignore; in short, Brown's book is an important
addition to the broader scholarly canon." - Crime, Media Culture (2015)
