What is it about?
How did 9/11 influence portrayals of gender in US apocalyptic TV shows? That question lies at the heart of Eve Bennett's 2019 book, Gender in Post-9/11 American Apocalyptic TV. This brief review outlines Bennett's main contributions to studies of gender representation in recent US TV. It also considers how an uneven engagement with white supremacy and settler colonialism at times distorts the book's astute observations about femininity and masculinity.
