Opis

What happens when unlikely allies work to advance similar goals? Focusing on case studies of feminist and conservative activism around pornography, child sexual abuse policy, and the Violence Against Women Act, Frenemies develops a new model of how groups that are neither allies nor opponents work toward related goals.

Recenzje

From title to endnotes, Nancy Whittier's Frenemies intelligently traverses contested terrain Whittier unpacks a generative conceptual apparatus, three superbly researched case studies, and an illuminating stringof insights. The results make compelling reading for scholars ... I recommended Frenemies to four scholars from three disciplines inthe past two days; I confidently predict it will find, inform, stimulate, andreward a broad audience
