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 twenty first century. Individual chapters look
at postfeminism in relation to feminist epistemology, Foucault,
psychoanalytic theory and semiology postmodernism and postcolonialism,
cultural politics, popular culture, film and media, and sexuality and
identity For all students looking for guidance through the sometimes
murky waters of contemporary feminist theory, this book wil provide a
reassuring first port of call.
