New Frontiers of Space, Bodies and Gender [Paperback]

This collection unravels the stereotypical images of gender and space and presents a series of new explorations into both 'lived' and 'imagined' spaces.
In New Frontiers of Space, Bodies and Genderleading contemporary writers from across an eclectic mix of disciplines, examine an exciting array of issues such as:
* Jamaican Ragga music and female performance
* Feminist anti-violence work
* Pregnant women's experience of shopping centres
* The fear of crime felt by women using urban greenspace
* Implications of technology in gendering identities
This book forges new parameters for debates of gender and space, leaving behind the simple focus on women-as-victim in the public arena and remapping considerations of space which look beyond bricks and mortar.
