- Description
- Greed and lust are generally considered good only for men, and then only outside the realm of family life. The history of Western economic ideas shows that men have given themselves more cultural permission than women for the pursuit of both economic and sexual self-interest. Feminists have long contested the boundaries of this permission, demanding more than mere freedom to act more like men. Women have gradually gained the power to revise our conceptual and moral maps and to insist on a better-and less gendered-balance between self interest and care for others. This book brings women's work, their sexuality, and their ideas into the center of the dialectic between economic history and the history of economic ideas. It describes a spiralling process of economic and cultural change in Great Britain, France, and the United States since the 18th century that shaped the evolution of patriarchal capitalism and the larger relationship between production and reproduction. This feminist reinterpretation of our past holds profound implications for today's efforts to develop a more humane and sustainable form of capitalism.

- Description
- For South Asians, food regularly plays a role in how issues of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and national identity are imagined. This book provides food for thought as it considers the metaphors literature, film, and TV shows use to describe Indians abroad. When an immigrant mother in Jhumpa Lahiri's 'The Namesake', combines Rice Krispies, Planters peanuts, onions, salt, lemon juice, and green chili peppers to create a dish similar to one found on Calcutta sidewalks, it not only evokes the character's Americanization, but also her nostalgia for India. Food, Anita Mannur writes, is a central part of the cultural imagination of diasporic populations. Mannur examines the cultural production from the Anglo-American reaches of the South Asian diaspora. Using texts from novels - Chitra Divakaruni's 'Mistress of Spices', and Shani Mootoo's 'Cereus Blooms at Night' - to cookbooks such as Madhur Jaffrey's 'Invitation to Indian Cooking' and Padma Lakshmi's 'Easy Exotic', she illustrates how national identities are consolidated in culinary terms.

- Description
- This book compares the ideas and activities of activist men and women in Anglo-Atlantic cities in the period 1870-1950. London, Dublin, Toronto and Chicago were chosen as representative examples of how shared ideological, professional and cultural history underlay construction of the patriarchical city. Investigated is how ideas about gender shaped the patriarchical city. The patriarchical vision of designing cities implied that public spaces were intended for men and their economic activities, while domestic residential areas were reserved for family, home and women. Women challenged men to produce a more equal social infrasturcture that include housing in cities, public toilets for both sexes, housing for single working women and safe public spaces for all residents.

- Description
- Interdisciplinaire introductie op vrouwenstudies waarin de belangrijkste debatten en theorieën aan de orde komen. Elk hoofdstuk wordt beloten met een aantal vragen en een literatuurlijst. In deel 1 'The social organization of gender relations' wordt ingegaan op de manier waarop sekseongelijkheid is geïnstitutionaliseerd. Onderzoek is gedaan naar gezin, romantische liefde, betaalde arbeid, opvoeding en religie als sociale instituties die worden gezien als fundamenteel voor de maatschappij, de vraag is hoe vrouwen door de organisatie van sekserelaties in deze instituties zijn beïnvloed. In deel 2 'The cultural representation of women' wordt ingegaan op: strategieën in verband met vrouwelijke representatie in literatuur, visuele kunst en film, stereotypering in autobiografieën, voorstellingen van vrouwen in de Christelijke traditie, ook wordt aandacht besteed aan ras en sekse. In deel 3 'Gender and social identity' worden populaire constructies onderzocht van 'vrouwelijke' identiteit. Ingegaan wordt op de betekenis van moederschap en feministische antwoorden op het vrouw-zijn en moederschap, de filosofische implicaties van veronderstelde moederlijke eigenschappen, de geschiedenis van lesbianisme, het begrip vrouw in de Engelse wet, de kritiek van zwarte feministen op witte vrouwen, verschillende interpretaties van vrouw-zijn in de islam. In deel 4 'Women and political change' wordt ingegaan op hoe de situatie van vrouwen veranderd kan worden, aandacht voor de Britse vrouwenbeweging in de 19e en 20e eeuw, het feminisme nu, de vrouwenbeweging in Latijns-Amerika, en het contrast tussen de actieve politieke deelname aan de regering in Engeland en de alternatieve wereld van ecofeminisme.

- This book reveals the unseen side of the '9/11 wars': their impact on the wives and families of men incarcerated in Guantanamo, or in prison or under house arrest in Britain and the US. Brittain shows how these families have been made socially invisible and a scapegoat for the state in order to exercise arbitrary powers under the cover of the 'War on Terror'. The book reveals how a culture of intolerance and cruelty has left individuals at the mercy of the security services’ unverifiable accusations and punishment. The book shows the methods of social control being used by the British state and gives a voice to the families whose lives have been turned upside down.

- Description
- Special issue that highlights social, economic and cultural exclusions. As seen in the papers presented in this volume most forms of exclusion are gendered. The major contribution of this volume's focus is on gendered exclusion in global cities and examines the intersections between culture, gender and identity and analyzes how power relations and gendered subordination are still actually dominant factors in shaping and re-shaping the lives of women as well as men. The special is divided into: 1. 'Tolerance and beyond as expressed in different perspectives of everyday life' and 2. 'Tolerance towards people of diversity and beyond?'.
