Losing Matt Shepard

This trenchant analysis of the community of Laramie, Wyoming is by a professor at the university where Matt Shepard was enrolled when he was killed in the 1998 hate crime that shocked the nation. Loffreda explores the setting in which the crime took place, delving deeply into layers of individual and shared circumstances and values--and she examines the responses of citizens, government, and the media.
