Summary
'In the two decades since the publication of our last anthology', Jonasdottir and Jones write in their introduction to this important new book, 'two trends have characterised approaches to the concept of gender in political studies . . . one strategically centring gender in social and political analysis and the other deconstructing gender'. Tensions between these trends led to an impasse in feminist theory, generating a crisis in how to think about what we can do about gender, identity, or representation in the ethical/political sense.
