This important new collection not only presents some of the major
debates in the current research on sexual harassment, but also
attempts to demonstrate the need for further study of the problem.
Increasing attention has been paid to sexual harassment but its
meaning, nature, and remedy have eluded researchers and public
officials. Since the late 1970s there have been many scientific
studies that have investigated the frequency, causes, and effects
of sexual harassment. One of the problems that plague these studies
is the attempts to get a clear-cut definition and description of
the problem. For example, sociologists have yet to reach a
consensus on whether or not activities such as cursing, sexual
jokes, or compliments in the workplace constitute sexual
harassment.
The manifestations of the problem are often obvious. The solutions
are not. Highlighting the work of social theorists, feminists,
psychologists, and legal scholars, Sexual Harassment separates fact
from fiction, focuses on opposing views, and outlines the legal and
moral complexity of establishing an acceptable social standard to
combat this problem.
Updated and revised, this new, second edition includes
contributions by Alba Conte, Catherine A. MacKinnon, Camille
Paglia, Susan Deller Ross, the editors of The New Republic, and
many other distinguished commentators, as well as selections from
important court cases.
