Hard-going January 29, 1999 4 out of 17 found this review helpful
I found the text of this book rather hard-going; it requires quite some concentration to read. No doubt the content of the book is very good, but it's too hard for me to read to really be able to say.
Higonnet is smart, but she's wrong on the law September 17, 1998 24 out of 28 found this review helpful
There' a lot to recommend this book: Higonnet has you exercising your critical judgment on a plethora of everyday images, new and antiquarian, even if you disagree with her analysis.However, readers should be aware that the author substantially misstates the law in several places. She cites some interpretive dicta from a district court case in California (US v. Dost) as being the actual text of the federal law. The federal law isn't nearly as vague as she suggests. Moreover she says that the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1995 criminalized depictions of breasts and buttocks of minors. Untrue. The final bill passed deleted these provisions. These are serious omissions to a sensitive discussion. Lawrence A. Stanley, Esq. NY, NY
