- Description
- In recent years, there has been substantial progress on LGBTQ civil rights in the United States. We are now in a time of incredible political uncertainty for queer people. This book provides an introduction to mainstream LGBTQ movements in the US, illustrating the many forms that LGBTQ activism has taken since the mid-twentieth century. The book covers a range of topics, including the Stonewall uprising and gay liberation, AIDS politics, queer activism, marriage equality fights and bisexual and transgender justice. Stulberg explores how marginalized communities have used a wide range of political and cultural tools to create change. The five key themes that guide the book are assimilationism and liberationism as strategies for equality, the possibilities of legal change, the role of art and popular culture in social change, the interconnectedness of social movements and the role of privilege in movement organizing.

- Description
- Philomena Essed sprak aan het begin van de jaren tachtig van de twintigste eeuw met een twintigtal Surinaamse vrouwen in Nederland en Afro-Amerikaanse vrouwen in de Verenigde Staten over de vooroordelen en het racisme dat deze vrouwen ondervonden in hun alledaagse omgang met witte mensen bij situaties op het werk, het zoeken naar woonruimte, het contact met buren of collega's, bij het winkelen, in de bus of in de tram. Essed noemde dit alledaags racisme: een diffuus geheel van steeds terugkerende patronen van discriminatie en vooroordeel.
- Heruitgave van 'Alledaags racisme' uit 1984, aangevuld met een nieuw hoofdstuk over eigengerechtigd racisme: het racisme dat wordt gerechtvaardigd met een beroep op de vrijheid van meningsuiting.

- Description
- This book investigates meanings associated with female head hair, problematising assumptions about its role and implications in the 21st Century.

Studies examine the lived experiences of women from a range of backgrounds and histories, including curly-haired women in Israel, African American women and lesbians in France. Other essays interrogate the connotations of women’s head hair in relation to body image, religion and aging.

- Description
- Disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced and marginalized with devastating consequences, in ways that are rarely acknowledged in the larger discussion about inequality. In this book Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large.

- Born in exile, in Zambia, to a guerrilla father and a working mother, Msimang is constantly on the move. Her parents, highly educated, travel from Zambia to Kenya and Canada and beyond with their young family. Always the outsider, and against a backdrop of racism and xenophobia, Sisonke develops her keenly perceptive view of the world. In this account of a young girl’s path to womanhood, Sisonke interweaves her personal story with her political awakening in America and Africa, her euphoria at returning to the new South Africa, and her disillusionment with the new elites.
