Summary: Jargon PoMo Fluff
Comment: But lacking substance and a forcefully argued coherent thesis. Journalistic and useful ethnography, but without much substance.
Rating: 1
Summary: Too much useless jargon & outdated theoretical framework
Comment: Rofel, a feminist herself, justifies her own subjectivity by framing her research subjects' testimonies within her politically-charged gender/modernity framework. She does not propose a coherent thesis, but merely attempts to debunk the modernity paradigm that other scholars have done decades ago. There is too much social science jargon that doesn't serve to legitimize her research but only serves to mask the inadequecies of her method and her ill-conceived theories and biased interpretations.
Rating: 2
Summary: Case studies
Comment: It was not a bad book if in politics you like to read about one area and one factory. If you like this it is a very good book; however, I do not like this kind of politics I like the bigger picture and to get a better overall understanding of the country or even city. This book through only gave me an understanding of the dinamics of one factory and I do not think that is effective for a whole book. Another major problem with the book was that it seemed like two books that where writen at different times and then put together in other words she wrote her disertation and then whent back got some more stuff and turned it into a book withou trying to make it flow better. So I did not really like this book.
