tamu.edu>New from Oxford University Press Available for fall courses Reinventing Identities: The Gendered Self in Discourse Edited by Mary Bucholtz, A. C. Liang, and Laurel A. Sutton Volume 1 in Oxford's new series Studies in Language and Gender The Reinventing Identities website, featuring additional data, graphics, and audio and video clips from the studies in the book, will be available by August 1999 at: http://www-english.tamu.edu/pers/fac/bucholtz/oslg/re-id As the inaugural volume of Studies in Language and Gender, Reinventing Identities offers a broad vision of what the field of language and gender studies will look like in the new millennium. Reinventing Identities is as wide-ranging as gender itself, which takes on new and surprising forms in new contexts. The volume attends to myriad cultural forms of gender: within the U.S. context, chapters focus variously on African Americans, Latinas, Native Americans, and European Americans, while on a more global scale, contributors examine discursive gender relations in local contexts in Europe and Africa as well as North America. And via the influence of the emergent field of queer linguistics, Reinventing Identities includes a sizable number of studies of sexuality as well as gender. A contextually and theoretically rich collection of studies of the gendering, ungendering, and regendering of language, Reinventing Identities is an important contribution to the field's current reinvention of itself. The volume invites scholars and students alike to rethink what it means to study the intersection of language and gender and where that intersection is located. DATE OF PUBLICATION: AUGUST 1999.
