Summary

Organizing Difference explores difference (the complex intersections of discourses of gender, race, class, sexuality, and other markers of difference) as a communicative phenomenon. All of the scholars in this volume explore difference from a variety of perspectives, each of which systematically looks at the relationships among communication, organizing, and difference.
