Description

Becoming Sexual: A Critical Appraisal of the Sexualization of Girls by R. Danielle Egan. The concept of sexualization has become a dominant discourse in recent years, with far-reaching implications for young girls and their childhoods. However, a closer examination of the data reveals a more complex picture than initially meets the eye. This book offers a measured investigation into the cultural and historical assumptions that underpin this discourse, shedding light on its implications. Egan argues that the popular literature on sexualization is often more reflective of adult anxieties than it is about the lives and practices of girls themselves. By subjecting these claims to rigorous analysis, Egan provides a nuanced understanding of the issues at stake. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone seeking to engage with this high-profile debate, particularly those studying sociology, cultural studies, childhood studies, gender studies, and media studies.
