Description:
Exploring the relationship between gender and events, this book delivers an ethnographic analysis of the celebration of gender equality in the context of the culture-led event.
Review Quotes:
This book is a very successful plea: the author convincingly demonstrates how important it is to consider gender in events--not only for events with a gender theme, but particularly for those that do not address gender at all. And while Barbara Grabher's work certainly is of scholarly interest, it reaches beyond academia--or should: her results have important implications for event organizers, sponsors, and policymakers, in particular.
