Reviews

Public Privates presents new insights into the intersection of media, space, and geography. It will further expand the discourse and provide additional avenues of exploration for other geographers wishing to address this topic. The style is quite readable and is easily understandable, making the key themes easy to grasp. It would make a good textbook for upper-division human geography courses, graduate-level courses, and even courses outside geography such as communications and humanities. -James Craine, professor of geography at California State University, Northridge, and the editor of Aether: The Journal of Media Geography -- James Craine With a wealth of examples drawn from comedy, horror, drama, erotica, and reality TV, Public Privates offers a wonderfully comprehensive look at the dichotomy between public and private space and how it is subtly and complexly gendered. -Paul C. Adams, professor in the Department of Geography and the Environment at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Geographies of Media and Communication -- Paul C. Adams


I strongly encourage cultural and feminist geographers to read this book and use it as representative of the work in our discipline. . . . This book is a remarkable achievement, and it made me even more excited about the future of feminist geography and the study of popular culture. -Julian Barr, Journal of Cultural Geography With a wealth of examples drawn from comedy, horror, drama, erotica, and reality TV, Public Privates offers a wonderfully comprehensive look at the dichotomy between public and private space and how it is subtly and complexly gendered. -Paul C.
