Chapter Four analyzes how the figure of white femininity and the image of the 'dark rapist' evoke colonial memory and justify neo-imperial violence in media narratives of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. I focus on representations of three white female soldiers, including Jessica Lynch and Lynndie England, to demonstrate how the media rouse deeply established fears of the racial other, expertly manipulating the intersectionalities of race, gender, sexuality and class whilst simultaneously reproducing these ambivalent categories as discrete and stable.
