Gregory Bray, Chair, Department of Digital Media and Journalism, recently had his book, “Women Vigilantes and Outlaws in American Popular Media: Who Was That Masked Woman?” published through Routledge (Taylor & Francis). Bray served as lead editor on the collection, which includes two of his writings, including “Not Even Mentioned: Invisible Femininity and the Nation-State in Zorro’s Black Whip.”
The volume was published through the Outlaws in Literature, History, and Culture series.
The peer-reviewed volume boasts chapters from seasoned scholars in such fields as outlaw studies, history, feminism, and popular culture. Bray’s goal was to bridge these areas of inquiry, while pushing Outlaw and Social Bandit Studies, imagined by Eric Hobsbawm to consider stories told about women social bandits during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period through World War II.
