{"product_id":"fashioning-postfeminism-simidele-dosekun-9780252085086","title":"Fashioning Postfeminism: Spectacular Femininity and Transnational Culture","description":"Women in Lagos, Nigeria, practice a spectacularly feminine form of black beauty. From cascading hair extensions to immaculate makeup to high heels, their style permeates both day-to-day life and media representations of women not only in a swatch of Africa but across an increasingly globalized world. \u003cp\u003eSimidele Dosekun's interviews and critical analysis consider the female subjectivities these women are performing and desiring. She finds that the women embody the postfeminist idea that their unapologetically immaculate beauty signals--but also constitutes--feminine power. As empowered global consumers and media citizens, the women deny any need to critique their culture or to take part in feminism's collective political struggle. Throughout, Dosekun unearths evocative details around the practical challenges to attaining their style, examines the gap between how others view these women and how they view themselves, and engages with ideas about postfeminist self-fashioning and subjectivity across cultures and class. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntellectually provocative and rich with theory, \u003ci\u003eFashioning Postfeminism\u003c\/i\u003e reveals why women choose to live, embody, and even suffer for a fascinating performative culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simidele Dosekun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252085086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252085086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Simidele Dosekun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941002576127,"sku":"9780252085086","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_848057df-3841-4fcd-a87f-bffb607b5d9c.jpg?v=1681450357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fashioning-postfeminism-simidele-dosekun-9780252085086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
