'Buzzanell′s edited book has a poststructural sensibility in its emphasis on dialogue, absent voices, and the open-ended, constructed nature of knowledge.... In summary, I would recommend this book highly... Buzzanell′s reader would be a corrective for traditional texts used in communications, Master of Public Administration, and Master of Business Administration programs.'-NATIONAL WOMEN′S STUDIES ASSOCIATION JOURNALRethinking Organizational Communication From Feminist Perspectives reconsiders organizational and managerial communication theories, research, and practice from multiple feminisms. Part I consists of theoretical analyses that reconceptualize and extend boundaries in our thinking about work and organizing processes. The chapters propose an alternative view of public-private discourse, stakeholder ethics, socialization processes, and negotiation by contrasting traditional approaches with feminist values. Part II presents women′s voices through interview excerpts, poems, diary entries, and stories and explores the ways in which these concrete details of ordinary lives represent missing facets and nuances of our organizational and managerial communication work. Part III contains chapters that rewrite organizational and managerial constructs. The authors not only offer alternative reconceptualizations, but also suggest specific tactics and long-term strategies devised from feminisms for revising organizational and managerial communication processes and practices. The final section of the book draws together the themes of the book and encourages a continuing dialogue on the issues.

<p>eleven Chapters Are Not As Much About Women's Issues As About The Ways That Conventional Approaches Often Exclude The Concerns, Values, And Life Experience Voiced By Members Of Traditionally Excluded Groups. The Hope Of Editor Buzzanell (communications, Purdue U.) Is That Feminist Approaches To Organizational And Managerial Communications Are Grounded In The Belief That We Can Create An Equitable And Ethical Vision For Organizational Lives And Processes. The Contributions Critique Specific Aspects Of The Literature Such As Chaos Theory, Leadership, And Careers, And Suggest Ways To Improve The Discipline. Annotation C.

With the emergence in recent years of a growing body of feminist theory and research devoted to organization studies, critical scholars have to take seriously the idea that organizations are the site of gendered communication practices (Acker, 1990; Buzzanell, 1994, 1995; Calas & Smircich, 1992; Mumby, 1996).
