Readings in gender in Africa
The writings show how gender relations have been constructed on the African continent and reflect the changes in approach and inquiry that have been brought about as the authors consider gender identities and difference in their work. Specific themes covered here include the contestation and representation of gender, femininity and masculinity: livelihoods and life ways: gender and religion, gender and culture: gender and governance.- Creator

Jongens en meisjes... bestemming bekend? België, 1830-2000
Publicatie uitgegeven naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling 'Jongens en meisjes... bestemming bekend? België, 1830-2000', in het Belvue Museum in Brussel, van 3 februari tot 31 mei 2009. Deze tentoonstelling toont hoe de ideeën over mannelijkheid en vrouwelijkheid in de voorbije twee eeuwen evolueerden in België.

Sex in revolution
The essays explore how women seized opportunities created by modernization efforts and revolutionary upheaval to challenge conventions of sexuality, work, family life, religious practices, and civil rights. Concentrating on episodes and phenomena that occurred between 1915 and 1950, the contributors describe experiences ranging from those of a transgendered Zapatista soldier to upright damas católicas and Mexico City’s chicas modernas pilloried by the press and male students. Women refashioned their lives by seeking relief from bad marriages through divorce courts and preparing for new employment opportunities through vocational education. Activists ranging from Catholics to Communists mobilized for political and social rights.- Creator

Remaking the godly marriage
In this publication the author studies evangelical protestants and their views on marriage and gender relations and how they are lived within individual families. The author compares elite evangelical prescriptions for godly family living with the day-to-day practices in conservative Protestant households. Through interviews with evangelical married couples and a study of evangelical family advice manuals, he explores the disputes and ambivalence concerning traditional gender roles and patriarchal models of family life, which derive from the tension between evangelical Protestantism as a religious subculture and the broader American secular culture in which it is embedded.- Creator
