- Description
- Banned in public institutions in France and Turkey, mandatory in Saudi Arabia and Iran, no other item of clothing incites such furious reactions. The Islamic veil – a catch-all term that encompasses everything from a simple headscarf to the all-covering burqa – has, over the past decade, become a heated battleground for debates on everything from women’s rights to multiculturalism. Elizabeth Bucar goes beyond the simplistic question of whether the veil is “good” or “bad” to ask instead why it has become so politically symbolic. Cutting through the condescension and fear that typify the debate, she reveals the huge diversity of women’s experiences of veiling.

- Description
- Special consideration in this volume is given to gender issues arising during periods when upheaval challenged colonial regimes, which often resulted in decolonization and independence. Chapters also reveal how former colonies transitioned into ‘nations,’ along with transnational dynamics that took place among modern states. A common thread woven through each article is the matter of precisely who it was that deserved to be treated and recognized as fully human in an era of imperial exchanges and ongoing capitalist globalization. Authors describe hemes as labour, commodities, fashion, mobility, and activism while exploring the dynamics of empire in destinations ranging from Africa and the Americas to Europe and Asia. .Originally published as Gender & History Volume 26 Issue 3

- Description
- Once fashion was seen as marginal. Now it entered into core economic discourse focused around ideas about ‘cultural’ and ‘creative’ work as a major driver of developed economies. This second edition gives a summary of the theories surrounding the role and function of fashion in modern society. Entwistle examines how fashion plays a crucial role in the formation of modern identity through its articulation of the body, gender and sexuality.The book offers a synthesis between the literature on fashion and dress and the sociology of the body. The book shows how an understanding of fashion and dress requires an understanding of the meanings acquired by the body in culture since it is the body that fashion speaks to and which is dressed in almost all social situations and encounters.

- Description
- Elisabeth Wilson tells stories of the artists, intellectuals, radicals, and hangers-on who populated the salons, bars, and cafés of Paris, London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco since the early nineteenth century. The book is a quest for the many shifting notions of bohemianism that give rise to debate about the role of art and artists. She explores the role of sex and erotic love, the role of women in Bohemia, the bohemian search for eccentricity and excess, and the politics of many bohemians. Many examples are given, amongst others: Djuna Barnes, Suzanne Valadon, Josephine Baker, Nancy Cunard, Andy Warhol, Juliette Greco, Allen Ginsberg, and Marianne Faithfull. Examples of politics: lesbianism, feminism, mysticism, and marxism

- Description
- Writing against the grain of popular perception and moral panic, Shauna Pomerantz offers a look at the importance of style for girls in school. Fighting assumptions that girls today are dupes of media and capitalism, she argues that style is a significant cultural practice that demands to be taken seriously in the lives of girls. Based on an ethnography at an urban, multicultural high school in Vancouver's east side, Pomerantz contextualizes style as a form of expression that enables girls to produce fluid and multiple identities, social networks, individual images, expressions of agency and power, and cultural affiliations. She strikes a balance between making visible the impact of external forces on the girls in her study, and arguing the poststructuralist position that the girls have agency.

- Drawing on experiences from villagers in Bengal to scientists in Bangalore, this book explores the meaning of India's most iconic garment. Banerjee and Miller show why the sari has survived and indeed flourished as everyday dress when most of the world has adopted western clothing. Their book presents both an intimate portrait of the lives of women in India today and an alternative way for thinking about the relationship to the clothes one wears.
