Youth, racism, and place in the Tony Martin affair

Auteur :
VANDERBECK, R.M.

Description :
The paper provides an analysis of media discourse surrounding the arrest, trial, and conviction of Norfolk farmer Tony Martin for the murder of 16-year old Traveller from Newark, Nottinghamshire. It argues that discourses about Travellers (re)constructed in the media during the Martin affair showed evidence of both older, stereotypical representations of Travellers and newer ways of locating them in relation to contemporary societal anxieties about dangerous youth, the underclass, and social exclusion.
