Black female sexualities
The essays in this book reveal the diverse ways black women experience and represent sexuality. The contributors highlight the range of tactics that black women use to express their sexual desires and identities. .The authors take not only an interdisciplinary approach, but also an intergenerational one, in conversation with the foremothers of black feminist studies. In addition, the book explores a diverse archive of representations, covering everything from blues to hip-hop, from Crash to Precious, from Sister Souljah to Edwidge Danticat. Revealing that black female sexuality is anything but a black-and-white issue, this collection demonstrates how to appreciate a whole spectrum of subjectivities, experiences, and desires.- Creator

Gender and sexuality in muslim cultures

Gender and sexuality in muslim cultures
This book takes on fundamental questions at the intersections of gender, sexuality, and the body. Several questions frame the volume: How does studying gender and sexuality expand and enrich our understanding of Muslim-majority countries, historically and at present? How does the embodiment of ’Muslim’ identity get reconfigured in the context of twenty-first-century globalism? What analytical questions are raised about ’Islam’ when its diverse meanings and multifaceted expressions are closely examined? What roles do gender and sexuality play in the construction of cultural, religious, nationalistic, communal, and militaristic identities? How have power struggles been signified in and on the bodies of women and sexuality?- Creator

Feminisms
Spanning nearly two decades, from 1980 to 1996, this Reader investigates the debates which have best characterized feminist theory. Including such articles as Pornography and Fantasy, The Body and Cinema, Nature as Female, and A Manifesto for Cyborgs, the extracts examine thoughts on sexualtiy as a domain of exploration, the visual representation of women, what being a feminist means, and why feminists are increasingly involved in political struggles to negotiate the context and meaning of technological development.- Creator

Feminisme. Wat bedoelen we ermee en wat kunnen we ermee? Dit boek steekt een thermometer in de samenleving om te zien hoe de stand van zaken is. Wat is er al bevochten en bereikt? Zijn er zaken die nog beter moeten? Dekt het woord 'feminisme' eigenlijk nog wel de lading? Ruim vijftig auteurs, vrouwen en mannen, geven hun visie en tonen de veelstemmigheid en veelkleurigheid van het feminisme: van de jongste generatie tot de eerste generatie feministen. De auteurs komen uit alle verschillende hoeken van de samenleving: kunstenaars, academici, wetenschappers, journalisten, activisten, et cetera. Elk facet van het feminisme wordt belicht, van lustpil tot de vraag of islam en feminisme te verenigen zijn.- Creator

Everyday women's and gender studies
This book highlights major concepts that organizewomen's and genderstudies: Knowledges, Identities, Equalities, Bodies, Places, and Representations. Its focus on 'the everyday' speaks to the importance this book places on students understanding the taken-for granted circumstances of their daily lives. In addition to exploring each concept in detail, each chapter includes up to five short recently published readings that illuminate an aspect of that concept.- Creator

Postfeminism and contemporary Hollywood cinema
By analyzing the negotiation of femininities and masculinities within contemporary Hollywood cinema and by focusing on the largely neglected intersections between postfeminism and queer theory this volume presents diverse interrogations of popular cinema. The chapters in this collection position contemporary commercial production as a space where female empowerment is both celebrated and undermined, and signal the necessity of further debate surrounding the formation of gender identity in postmillennial Hollywood cinema.- Creator

Critical articulations of race, gender, and sexual orientation
This book engages scholarly essays, poems, and creative writings that examine the meanings of race, gender, and sexual orientation as interlocking systems of oppression. Each chapter in this volume critically interrogates the notion of identity as socially constructed, yet interconnected and shaped by cultural associations. The shaping of an individual’s identity, communication, and worldview can be read, shaped, and understood through life, art, popular culture, mass media, and cross-cultural interactions, among other things.- Creator
