- Description
- In this book fifty-two American women--northern and southern, young and old, urban and rural, black, white, and Latina--share their courageous personal stories of working for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. The testimonies gathered here present a personal history of SNCC: early sit-ins, voter registration campaigns, and freedom rides: the 1963 March on Washington, the Mississippi Freedom Summer, and the movements in Alabama and Maryland: and Black Power and antiwar activism. Since the women spent time in the Deep South, many also describe risking their lives through beatings and arrests and witnessing unspeakable violence. These stories depict women, many very young, dealing with extreme fear and finding the remarkable strength to survive. The women in SNCC acquired new skills, experienced personal growth, and even had fun in the midst of serious struggle.The contributors revisit central debates of the struggle including the role of nonviolence and self-defense, the role of white people in a black-led movement, and the role of women within the Movement and the society at large.

- Description
- In this volume scholars use a public health model to examine current societal responses to interpersonal violence. Authors examine the efficacy of medical and psychological treatments for victims, families, and perpetrators, and justice system responses to various forms of child abuse, sexual violence, and domestic violence. Interventions are suggested at several levels of prevention, including initiatives designed to eradicate the problem (primary prevention), reduce it among those at risk (secondary prevention), and minimize the negative consequences of violence and stabilize health (tertiary prevention). Finally, the editors provide input for future responses across practice, research, advocacy and policy, at the local and national level.

- Description
- This book addresses questions of women's movement activism and political change in western democracies. The authors provide a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of government agencies and women's movements regarding women's policy issues and why they form a kind of state feminism. The central research questions are examined across five issue areas in thirteen post-industrial democracies in Europe and North America from the 1960s through the early 2000s. The authors explore a range of topics drawn from contemporary theory, interactions between descriptive and substantive representation, and the place of institutions in democratic change. Using the innovative qualitative and quantitative methods employed by the Research Network on Gender Politics and the State, the authors have developed a new body of theories about the role of state feminism and how it can help further women's rights.
