GAYLORD RG Latina Realities New Directions in Theory and Psychology Series Editors Rachel T. Hare-Mustin and Jeanne Marecek Focusing on emerging theory in psychology and related fields, this scholarly/trade se¬ ries examines contemporary ideas broadly associated with postmodernism, social con¬ structionism, feminist theory, and other critical reformulations of psychology. We seek manuscripts that propose or exemplify new ways of doing psychology, that reconsider foundational assumptions of psychological inquiry and practice, and that offer new ap¬ proaches to therapy theory and practice. Among the topics considered are the social construction of such categories of difference/hierarchy as gender, race and ethnicity, class, and sexuality; and the politics of knowledge. Of interest as well are works that ex¬ amine ways in which psychology—as a body of knowledge and a cultural institution— replicates or challenges arrangements of power and privilege in society.
