The book offers important insights into the transformation of
transnational courtship. Specifying the poly-semantic variety of
the latter concept and an overview of dichotomous perspectives in
social scientific and political activist studies, ' the author
'clarifies major characteristics of the history, revenues, and
information and communication technologies of the mail-order bride
industry.' Y. Zabyelina focuses on 'an extremely important issue,
which usually is not considered as an international communication
problem. Yet, she has clearly shown, how ICTs and website marketing
have transformed and enormously expanded the scope and
profitability of mail-order bride agencies. She has also sketched
how this development re-enforces various inequalities and
prejudices on a transnational scale.' 'On the basis of the still
rather limited research done before and of her own empirical
analysis, she has contributed to enlightening one of the dark sides
of the otherwise mainly praised internet communication revolution.'
