This was a gift to a friend who is keeping me abreast of all he has learned. He says above all what he has read thus far has empowered him to SEE!

Bad academic book
This book has nothing to do with looking and everything to do with interpreting using dull academic frameworks with a heavy emphasis on feminism to suit the authors interests.

Textbook is Redundant
My experience with this textbook has been a very bland one. The language is simple, but becomes confusing because the authors have made it redundant. It would be a mediocre book if there were not so many unnecessary vocabulary words for the same thing. For example, the author's bring in the terms "signs" "signifier" and "signified" which could have easily have been just "connotative" and "denotative". It is good because it thoroughly explains the Marxist theory and would be appropriate for beginning college students, Other than that, I am positive that there are better textbooks to replace this one.
