Opis

Once seen as synonymous with 'anti-feminism' postfeminism is now understood as the theoretical meeting ground between feminism and anti-foundationalist movements such as postmodernism, post-structuralism and post-colonialsm. In this clear exposition of some of the major debates, theorists and practitioners, Ann Brooks shows how feminism is being redefined for the 21st century.

Recenzje

'Postfeminisms offers a comprehensive and imaginative mapping of the politico-theoretical shift brought about in feminism's agenda through its encounters with poststructuralism, postmodernism and postcolonialism ... a useful text for undergraduates in women's studies and cultural studies.' - Anna Yeatman, Macquarie University, Australia
