Abstract
On November 19, 1994, over 100 bound volumes of gender and gay studies journals were taken from five shelves at the University of New Mexico (UNM) general library, and several of the remaining volumes had been defaced with swastikas and slogans. Ten days later, the missing volumes were found concealed behind other journals on a high shelf. In this article, a feminist scholar at the University of New Mexico combines official and unofficial, firsthand and secondary observations of the incident and its aftermath to determine what it can teach us about gender-based hate crime and what strategies might be developed to best address this type of hate crime.
