Book Description:
Gillian Harkins places the proliferation of incest literature at the center of transformations in the political and economic climate of the late twentieth century. In contrast to recent claims that incest narratives eclipse broader frameworks of political and economic power, Harkins argues that their emergence exposes changing structural relations between the family and the nation and, in doing so, transforms the analyses of American familial sexual violence.
