- Description
- Feminist research is informed by a history of breaking silences, of demanding that women’s voices be heard, recorded and included in wider intellectual genealogies and histories. This has led to an emphasis on voice and speaking out in the research endeavour. Moments of secrecy and silence are less often addressed. This gives rise to a number of questions. What are the silences, secrets, omissions and and political consequences of such moments? What are their implications for research praxis? Contributors to this volume were invited to reflect on these questions. The resulting chapters are a collection of insights into the research process, making a contribution to theoretical and empirical debates about epistemology, subjectivity and identity in research.

- Description
- The term 'homonormativity' describes current prevailing idealised assumptions about lesbian identity. This concept, however, marginalizes subgroups within the greater lesbian population. The authors confront 'homonormativity' in lesbian communities by discussing what is a definable lesbian identity. They explore issues about gender policing and the viewpoints in lesbian communities that hold that transgender, intersectional and queer individuals are considered to have 'false consciousness'. This monograph has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Lesbian Studies vol. 10 (2006), numbers 1/2.

- Description
- This new edition of Women's Realities, Women's Choices introduces readers to the field of women's studies by examining the contradictions between social and cultural 'givens' and the realities that women face in society. Written collectively by nine authors from as many fields and disciplines, the book acknowledges the gap between women's realities and their choices--and both analyzes that gap and looks at ways to bridge it. Boxes and pictures contain new information. The book also highlights the impact of the post-Soviet world and economic globalization on women's lives, as well as the feminist issues of the 1990s and early twenty-first century. Chapter references have been updated to include not only films but also web sites.

- This collection of essays brings together a diverse range of voices that speak to the issues of home, gender, and identity. The contributors are experts on the political economy of the female body. Using an interdisciplinary approach, these writers explore how the victimization, dehumanization, and marginalization of women affect the identity of the female body both individually and communally. The essays include information on the ideologies of the human body in the West, the challenges women face in securing the material needs to create healthy homes and bodies, and environments where feminist practices have made a difference. Home/Bodies includes contributions by several new-generation feminist scholars and researchers, along with established teachers, researchers, and activists in the academy and the community.

- Description
- Originally conceived by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 as a tool for the analysis of the ways in which different forms of social inequality, oppression and discrimination interact and overlap in multidimensional ways, the concept of 'intersectionality' has attracted much attention in international feminist debates over the last decade.This book brings together proponents and critics of the concept. Engaging with the historical roots of intersectionality in the US-based 'race-class-gender' debate, this book also considers the European adoption of this concept in different national contexts, to explore issues such as migration, identity, media coverage of sexual violence against men and transnational livelihoods of high and low skilled migrants. Thematically arranged around the themes of the transatlantic migration of intersectionality, the development of intersectionality as a theory, men's studies and masculinities, and the body and embodiment, this book draws on empirical case studies as well as theoretical research.
