Women's human rights and the elimination of discrimination of women = Les droits des femmes et l'elimanation de la discrimination
Despite global undertakings to safeguard the full enjoyment of human rights, culture, traditional practices and religion are widely used to discriminate against women. In this volume 17 scholars approach women's human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as 'surrogate mothers,' violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders.- Creator

Masculinities under neoliberalism
Building on the work of the author’s ‘Dislocating masculinity : comparative ethnographies (1994)’, this collection provides a fresh perspective on gender dynamics under neoliberalism. Bringing together a series of short case studies drawn from new ethnographic fieldwork, its subjects range from the experiences of working-class men in Putins Russia to colonial masculinities in Southern Rhodesia, and from young British Muslim men to amateur footballers in Jamaica.- Creator

Women in transnational history
The book explores how cross-border connections and global developments since the nineteenth century have shaped diverse women’s lives and the gendered social, cultural, political and economic histories of specific localities. The book is divided into three parts, covering gendered histories of transnational networks, women’s agency in the intersecting histories of imperialisms and nationalisms, and the concept of localizing the global and globalizing the local.- Creator

Conflicting humanities
Taking the intellectual and political legacies of Edward Said as a point of departure and frame of reference, the contributors consider the current condition of humanism and the humanities. Said's definition of the core task of the humanities as the pursuit of democratic criticism remains more urgent than ever, though it needs to be supplemented by gender, environmental, and anti-racist perspectives as well as by detailed analysis of the necro-political governmentality of our time.- Creator

Sexuality and the unnatural in colonial Latin America
The essays in this book examine how 'the unnatural” came to inscribe certain sexual acts and desires as criminal and sinful, including acts officially deemed to be “against nature”(sodomy, bestiality, and masturbation) along with others that approximated the unnatural (hermaphroditism, incest, sex with the devil, solicitation in the confessional, erotic religious visions, and the desecration of holy images. )- Creator
