Reviews

I've never been able to claim a book on communication theory was a good read, but this one is. Jansen's work is breezy, gutsy, and irreverent. It is a brilliant synthesis, comparison, and critique of critical communication theory, feminist theory, and contemporary society. Jansen deftly weaves current events in and among her analysis of the politics of knowledge, science, and communication research. Communication theory never lookedand readlike this before. It's about time. -- Lana F. Rakow, University of North Dakota, Ph.D., professor emerita, Communication
