In this book, Wendy Lynne Lee sets out to demonstrate how feminist theorizing is relevant to issues that may seem less directly about the status and emancipation of women but that are vital, she argues, to forming connections with other important twenty-first century movements. Lee shows how a feminist approach to crafting these connections can shed light on the economic disparity and entrenched gender inequality of global markets; the role technology plays in our conception of reproductive rights, sexual identity, and gender; the rise of religious fanaticism; and the relationship between our conceptions of gender, nonhuman animals, and the environment. Timely, politically passionate, and forcefully argued, Contemporary Feminist Theory and Activism will reinvigorate feminist thought for the twenty-first century.

"This combination text and reader provides an introduction to contemporary feminist theory oriented toward undergraduates as well as master;s-level students. Its organization around substantive topics and issues rather than conventional categories of feminist thinking effectively conveys the breadth and depth of feminist theorizing, demonstrating the intersections and eclecticism that have become its hallmark. It offers a strong, multicultural dimension, integrating diversity (race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation) within the discussion of substantive topics. As a supplement or as a main text, it will prove highly useful in courses in feminist theory and women;s studies, as well as in gender studies, sociology of women, and contemporary social/sociological theory."--Pub desc.

In the past decade the central principles of western feminist theory have been dramatically challenged. many feminists have endorsed post-structuralism's rejection of essentialist theoretical categories, and have added a powerful gender dimension to contemporary critiques of modernity. Earlier 'women' have been radically undermined, and newer concerns with 'difference', 'identity', and 'power' have emerged. Destabilizing Theory explores these developments in a set of specially commissioned essays by feminist theorists. Does this change amount to a real shift within feminist theory, or will feminism's links with an emancipatory modernism reinstate an older political agenda? Can we transcend the common counterposition of equality and difference, or is feminism condemned to argue within the terms of this binary opposition?
