Global Obscenities by Zillah Eisenstein
The New York Times devotes the cover of its magazine to America's declining interest in politics and its obsession with money, finance, and the markets. Exposing the purported democratic effect of new media for the global mirage it is, this book shows how transnational capital and its patriarchal obsessions threaten us all.
"Eisenstein's lucid analysis is formed around the factual datum of the global cybereconomy, which even a cursory glance reveals as appallingly inequitable: 'Eighty-four percent of computer users are found in north america and northern europe'" * Signs *
A noted feminist writer, Zillah Eisenstein is Professor of Politics at Ithaca College. She is the author of The Female Body and the Law, which won the Victoria Schuck Book Prize for the best book on women and politics, and, more recently, The Color of Gender: Reimaging Democracy and Hatreds: Racialized and Sexualized Conflicts in the 21st Century.
