Recenzii
Each chapter is written with original research, which makes this book an important addition to scholarship in many areas of study. This text would make a great supplement for an upper division undergraduate course or a graduate-level course. . . .This book is well organized and captures the essence of gender in a transitional era. . . .[The text] offers a unique collection of research on important gender issues that are not found in gender textbooks. This book focuses on very specific instances of gender in a transitional era, which is a strength of the book because it offers various perspectives of specific gender issues. I envision this book becoming an ongoing collection of editions adding more valuable research to gender education.
This collection makes a compelling argument that our current transitional era calls for continued exploration of gender from a variety of perspectives, methodological approaches, and identities. The text offers a rich set of examples and intersectional approaches that expand theoretical frameworks and offer possibilities for interrogating restrictive gender binaries.
Gender in a Transitional Era is a compendium of essays addressing some of the important topics facing women and men that lend themselves to illuminating analysis from a feminist perspective on gender, race, and class. It updates some older debates, expands them to reflect the current realities of the multiplicities of identity, nationality, and culture, and leaves readers with a forward-looking perspective on social action in a time of ever-greater technological mediation. This collection introduces students to subjects of great political, economic, and societal concern and provides a platform from which deeper explorations can take place.
I was especially pleased with the sections on the portrayal of women in mediated messages.
