- Description
- This book contributes to current dialogues that construct Black Feminist Theory as critical engagement within dominant American institutions that oppress women of color in their daily lives. Women of color face social challenges that exist at the intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. While some challenges are common to women of color, others reflect the distinct journey each woman makes as she negotiates her identity within her family, professional circle, social and romantic relationships, and community.

- Description
- Volume about media representations and practices that have emerged out of contemporary wars. The author considers two questions: how the construction of gender, race and class in media are productive of regimes of truth regarding war and military life, and how such constructions may intensify militarism. By examining news and documentary media produced since September 11, 2001, she demonstrates that news narratives that include women use feminism selectively in gender equality narratives. They tend to reinforce historically resonant gender, race and class identity constructions.

- Description
- This book counters the many and contradictory ways in which women negotiate their places in 'the nation'. The volume includes theoretical essays that explore the multiple ways in which the very concept of 'nation' is based upon notions of family, sexuality and gender power which are often overlooked of downplayed by 'male-stream' scholarship. The chapters include gender and sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland, the paradox of Israeli women soldiers,women, civic duty and the military in the USA, the Hindu Right in India, power, agency and representation in Zimbabwe and political identity and heterosexism.

- Description
- This book analyses the impact of occupation on men and women, both occupied and occupier, in a variety of geographical spaces from Japan to Palestine to Iraq. Gendered perspectives are also intimately tied to analyses of ‘power’: how power is enacted by the occupier: how powerlessness is experienced by the occupied: how power is negotiated, shared, compromised, subverted, reclaimed: power as visible and invisible: institutional power: contested power in post-conflict societies: and power as discursively constructed. The term ‘military occupation’ is interpreted broadly to include occupation, interventions, the presence of military bases and peacekeeping/post-conflict operations.

- Description
- This collection studies the contributions of fourteen nearly forgotten women working in fields that range from art to philosophy, from teaching to social welfare, from science to the military, and how and why those individuals became either marginalized or discounted in a mostly patriarchal world. Each chapter demonstrates how an act of historical recovery can energize provocative new questions for feminist scholars and teachers about the processes of neglect and nostalgia, of forgetting and remembering.

- Description
- In this book the authors introduce the diverse strands of feminist legal theory and the array of substantive legal issues relevant to women's and gender studies. The book centers on feminist legal theories—including equal treatment theory, cultural feminism, dominance theory, critical race feminism, lesbian feminism, post-modern feminism, and ecofeminism. The primer demonstrates the ways feminist legal theory operates in real-life contexts, including domestic violence, reproductive rights, workplace discrimination, education, sports, pornography, and global issues of gender. Levit and Verchick highlight a sweeping range of cutting edge topics at the intersection of law and gender, such as women in the military, abortion, same sex marriage and the international trafficking in women and girls.

- Description
- Analysis of the ways in which America uses gender, race, class, nationalism and imperialism to justify, legitimate and continue war. Included topics are: the implications of an imperial nation/state laying claim to women's liberation: the relation between this claim and resulting American foreign policy and military action: American intervention and invasion and the liberation for women in Afghanistan and Iraq: the multiple concepts that are embedded in the phrase 'women¹s liberation': the ways in which the are connected to religion, culture, history, economics, and nation within current conflicts: the relation between the lives of Afghan and Iraqi women before and after invasion, and that of women living in the US: ways in which women who define themselves as feminists resist or acquiesce to this nation/state claim in current theory and organizing.
