Reviews

Sarah Thébaud:
‘Pacholok’s analysis of how a high stakes natural disaster can spark uneven change in gender relations at work is novel, insightful, and thorough…. This book will be a valuable and engaging resource for scholars of gender, work, and the environment alike.’

Elaine Enarson, Founder, U.S. Gender and Disaster Resilience Alliance:
“Into the Fire is a very serious advance in contemporary research and theory that will be welcomed in gender studies and disaster studies. Shelley Pacholok establishes an excellent tone that draws the reader in close from the outset, and she maintains it even in tricky theoretical waters as the complex narrative unfolds.”

Amy Kaler, Department of Sociology and School of Public Health, University of Alberta:
“Into the Fire is a fascinating read and a major contribution to research. This excellent book provides strong arguments about differentiations in masculinity and the hierarchies assigned to different masculinities. It is also timely in picking up on discussions of doing, undoing, and redoing gender.”
