    Book description

    Social Postmodernism defends a postmodern perspective anchored in the politics of the new social movements. The volume preserves the focus on the politics of the body, race, gender, and sexuality as elaborated in postmodern approaches. But these essays push postmodern analysis in a particular direction: toward a social postmodernism which integrates the micro-social concerns of the new social movements with an institutional and cultural analysis in the service of a transformative political vision.

    Reviews

    "Social Postmodernism is a great book in the most traditional or modern snese-it is useful. This has a great deal to do with the fact that the rich diversity of papers included, covering sexuality, race, multiculturalism, the India Diaspora, feminism, and what's left of universalism, is held up by a thematic concern with the idea of identity." Peter Beilharz, Contemporary Sociology

    "This collection of previously published essays contributes to contemporary social and political theory in a number of important ways." Ethics
