Recenzii
"Degrees of Difference is an immensely rich and powerful volume about the continuing and everyday power differentials between men and women, despite women's dominant scholastic performances throughout schooling. Niemi demonstrates her passion for education and carefully reveals the illusion of gender equity in education. This book is a must-read for all scholars who want to transform higher education to make it more equal and fair."
-Miriam E. David, Professor Emerita, Sociology of Education, Institute of Education, University College London
"In highly readable, thoroughly researched, and well-argued Degrees of Difference, Niemi debunks the simplicity of pervasive anti-feminist rhetoric in favor of more nuanced accounts of race and class intersections with gender. This book offers a passionate, persuasive, and by turns perceptive and prophetic thesis with which every social scientist, higher education administrator, and public policymaker needs to grapple if education is to truly become a route to social advancement. If you don't come away nervous about the future of higher education or disabused of the myth that we've achieved gender equity, you weren't reading closely enough."
