Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'The Future of Gender draws together eminent scholars from diverse academic disciplines to interrogate the conceptual efficacy of 'gender' - evaluating whether, and in what ways, 'gender' provides a useful category of analysis and a productive basis for an emancipatory politics. This is an original and stimulating collection with high quality essays that challenge existing orthodoxies, and one another, in interesting and provocative ways.' Judith Squires, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol 'A brilliant, original collection of essays, which in their clashing and engaging viewpoints demonstrate that gender is right at the forefront of contemporary, intellectual debates.' Carol Gilligan, University Professor, New York University 'Jude Browne's engaging collection traces gender debates lucidly, highlighting some sharp current controversies, and presents scholarship on sex and gender of richness and range, moving toward intellectual reframing.' Catharine A. MacKinnon, Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law, University of Michigan 'This volume offers a fascinating and often radical return to some fundamental questions concerning the ontology of the (gendered or trans-gendered) human, the structure of the family, the sexual division of labour and how best to legislate for gender equality. It marks a timely reopening of inquiries about gender, the sex/gender distinction and gender equality after the cultural and postmodern turn towards difference and in light of new developments in the natural sciences, technologies of the body, restructuring of the economy and events such as 9/11.' Diana Coole, Professor of Political and Social Theory, Birkbeck College University of London 'The Future of Gender underscores that feminist scholarship is composed of a range of divergent and oppositional arguments. Moreover, it suggests that the heterogeneity of the field is a boon, not a burden. The book's strength lies not in wholly new intellectual adventures, but in the variety and richness of its contributions.' Law and Politics Book Review Read more...
