Rezensionen

"Beyond its international and transnational perspective, the uniqueness and strength of Global Beauty, Local Bodies lies in the richness of the questions raised by the essays. This is a well-conceived collection that will make a significant contribution to the available literature on the body." - Maxine B. Craig, Associate Professor, Women and Gender Studies, Chair, DE in Feminist Theory and Research, University of California, Davis, USA
