[Air-l] new book

Congratulations to aoir member Lori Kendall on the release of her new book _Hanging Out in the Virtual Pub: Masculinities and Relationships Online_ (U of California Press)! A copy just arrived in my morning mail and it looks wonderful. Back blurb reads: "In this highly readable ethnography, she examines how men and women negotiate their gender roles on an online forum she calls BlueSky. Despite the common assumpotion that the online personas people craft for themselves bear little resemblance to reality, Kendall discovers that the members of BluSkyu stick surprisingly close to the facts of their actual lives and personalities.
