- Description
- This book on engaged Buddhism focuses on women working for social justice in a wide range of Buddhist traditions and societies. Contributors document attempts to actualize Buddhism’s liberating ideals of personal growth and social transformation. Dealing with issues such as human rights, gender-based violence, prostitution, and the role of Buddhist nuns, the work illuminates the possibilities for positive change that are available to those with limited power and resources. Integrating social realities and theoretical perspectives, the work utilizes feminist interpretations of Buddhist values and looks at culturally appropriate means of instigating change.

- Description
- The changing media and the empowering of women in the Middle East are described. The authors analyses Iran's women's press, Maghrebi women filmmakers and Egyptian political films, Palestinian TV and Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar. It takes as its starting point the diverse experiences and multi-layered identities of women and treats media institutions and practices as part of wider power relations in society. By analysing media production, consumption and texts, it reveals where and how gender boundaries have been established or crossed.

- Description
- Adam Jones wrote an article, first essay in this book, in 2000, that provoked considerable debate, in which he argues that throughout history and around the world, the population group most consistently targeted for mass killing and state-backed oppression are non-combatant men of roughly fifteen to fifty-five years of age. Such males, Jones contends are typically seen as 'the group posing the greatest danger to the conquering force'. Jones's article also examines the use of 'gendercidal institutions' - such as female infanticide, witch-hunts, military conscription, and forced labour, against both women and men.

- Description
- The essays, nine of the 13 were previously published between 1987 and 2003, explore how to live a life that expresses one's own unique personality and distinctive values. Coverage includes autonomous action and its bearing on gender, women's subordination, and women's resistance to demeaning cultural norms and sexist institutional strictures: the multi-dimensionality of the autonomous agent: the self and agency in specifically moral contexts: agency in hostile social contexts: and how the value of cultural perpetuation can conflict with individual liberty and how such conflicts can be addressed.
