Product Description This abridgment of The Glossary of Feminist Theory is tailored specially to students, providing the terms that they will most commonly encounter. Review "This invaluable glossary accounts in new ways for feminisms' travel across time, geography, multiple identities, and various disciplines. The authors provide well-organized, thoroughly cross-referenced, and readable definitions of material that is often extremely difficult....Recommended for allacademic and large public libraries both for reference and circulation."--Choice From the Back Cover Entries on Black, post-colonial, Italian and French feminisms attest to the variety of contemporary feminist discourse, and the Glossary as a whole reflects the ways in thich feminism has critiqued, transformed and appropriated concepts across the disciplinary spectrum: from sociology and history to philosophy, literary and cultural studies. Emphasizing Raymond Williams's notion of 'concepts on the move', and adapting Edward Said's concept of 'travelling theory', the complex journeys of terms within a wide range of fields are carefully charted.
