520 1 |a "In a careful look at the cop action movie genre, sociologist Neal King examines the moral logic and the crisis in American masculinity that propels the stories. Heroes in Hard Times studies over 190 cop action movies released between 1980 and 1997 and shows how fictional, working-class police officers weigh in on such topics as racial justice, homosexuality, misogyny, unemployment, and worker resistance. The heroes in this massive and hugely popular fictional culture also tackle such issues as affirmative action, drug use, poverty, divorce, and the use of violence to deal with social problems." "These heroes battle criminals but feel undervalued by women, unappreciated by their bosses, and out of place in their world. Usually white men, they face their enemies with wisecracks and firepower, and "blow away" their society's menacing threats, while they simultaneously long for, disdain, and stake their frustrated claim to white male privilege. Discussing such issues as sexual violence, capitalist greed, and the rage of the oppressed and examining a broad array of films including Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and The Silence of the Lambs, King's book notes the socially charged roles given to American culture's fictional police heroes and shows how modern mythology makes sense of rampant corruption.
