- democratie, macht, politiek, landbezit, huiselijk geweld, Uganda, Zuid-Afrika, bundel
- Description
- In this collection the authors examine the question whether democratization in Southern Africa has resolved the political participation and policy impact of women. Here this question is explored in the context of two countries, South Africa and Uganda, which in this regard have accomplished much more than most (including the Western democracies). In the volume is also examined two litmus-test pieces of legislation - around land in Uganda and gender violence in South Africa. What emerges is that the political routes to increased female participation vary and the solidity of the gains made depends much on the strength of the gender-equity lobby in society at large.

- Description
- The book explores 'the Caster Semenya Case' from socio-cultural, ethical and legal perspectives. The South African athlete Caster Semynia (1991) won the 800m title at the 2009 World Championship and she was obliged to undergo gender testing and was for a time withdrawn from international competition. The book explores the ethics of how gender norms in sport, and in society more generally, are constructed through appearance, behaviour and sporting performance. It analyses the impact of standards in sports: the interrelationships between sport, culture, and the media: the link between mediacal sciences, society and gender: and includes discussion of key concepts, such as intersex, body norms and fairness. Contains the following articles: From Apartheid to segregation in sports: the transgressive body of Caster Mokgadi Semenya / Philippe Liotard : Gender verifications vs. anti-doping policies: sexed controls /Anaïs Bohuon and Eva Rodriguez : Unfair advantage and the myth of the level playing field in IAAF and IOC policies on hyperandrogenism: when is it fair to be a woman? / Silvia Camporesi and Paolo Maugeri : Categorizing and attributing the sex of individuals: history of the science, law and ethics / Aurélie Olivesi : Caster Semenya and the intersex hypothesis: on gender as the visual evidence of sex / Fabien Rose : From sports to science, rhetorical and power issues in the media coverage of Caster Semenya / Sandy Montanola : 'Caster Semenya - the ancients would have called her god' the international re-imagining and remaking of sex and the art of silence / Elaine Salo : Gender, silence, and a queer new world: Caster Semenya and unfixed ambiguity / John Sloop.

- Description
- Offering detailed analyses of slave emancipation in specific societies, the contributors discuss all of the diverse actors in emancipation : slaves, abolitionists, free people of colour, state officials, and slave owners. Whether considering the construction of a postslavery masculine subjectivity in Jamaica, the work of two white U.S. abolitionist women with the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War, freedwomen's negotiations of labour rights in Puerto Rico, slave women's contributions to the slow unraveling of slavery in French West Africa, or the ways Brazilian abolitionists deployed representations of femininity as virtuous and moral, these essays demonstrate the gains that a gendered apporach offers to understanding the complex processes of emancipation. Some chapters also explore theories and methodologies that enable a gendered reading of postslavery archives. the editors' substantial introduction traces the reasons for and patterns of women's and men's different experiences of emancipation throughout the Atlantic world.

- Collection of articles discussing gender, with examples of gender constructive processes within various contexts and by means of diverse methodologies. It addresses issues such as gender performativity, its variances depending on their historical, social and cultural contexts and the rituals, representations and institutions involved in gender performances. It demonstrates that it is impossible to consider gender as a fixed biological trait. The authors propose to look at gender performance as an ongoing process in which femininities and masculinities imply dynamic intersections with categories such as nationality, ethnicity, class, sexuality and age. With cases from South Africa, United States and Brazil.

- This is a research after the lives of women whose lives are transformed by human rights violations. What happens to the voices of victimized women once they have their day in court or in front of a truth commission? Women face a double marginalization under authoritarian regimes and during and after violent conflicts. Nonetheless, reparations programs are rarely designed to address the needs of women victims. This book argues for the introduction of a gender dimension into reparations programs. The volume explores gender and reparations policies in Guatemala, Peru, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Timor-Leste.

- Description
- A close analysis of current policy and practice shows that organizations providing improved water supplies to poor communities typically neglect the gendered nature of access to and control over water resources. The resulting gender bias causes inefficiencies and injustices in water provision and reduces the effectiveness of well-meant efforts. This book shows how in different environmental, historical and cultural contexts gender has been an important element in water provision. It draws on a wide range of material, analyzed from different disciplinary perspectives. Case studies include analysis of the role of water in inhibiting the fight against HIV/AIDS in southern Africa and the challenges of taking gender into account in large water projects in India and Nepal.

- The Nordic countries have long been seen as pioneers in promoting gender equality. The book brings together scholars from the global South and post-socialist economies to reflect on Nordic approaches to gender equality. The contributors to the book seek to explore from a comparative perspective the vision, values, policies, mechanisms, coalitions of interests and political processes that help to explain Nordic achievements on gender equality. While some contributors explore the Nordic experience through the prism of their own realities, others explore their own realities through the Nordic prism.

- Description
- As an instrument which addresses the circumstances which affect women's lives and enjoyment of rights in a diverse world, the CEDAW is slowly but surely making its mark on the development of international and national law. Using national case studies from South Asia, Southern Africa, Australia, Canada and Northern Europe, Women's Human Rights examines the potential and actual added value of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in comparison and interaction with other equality and anti-discrimination mechanisms. The studies demonstrate how state and non-state actors have invoked, adopted or resisted the CEDAW and related instruments in different legal, political, economic and socio-cultural contexts, and how the various international, regional and national regimes have drawn inspiration and learned from each other.

- Description
- Collection of twelve essays from feminist historians from around the world to look at how women have always found ways to challenge or fight inequalities and hierarchies as individuals, in international women’s organizations, as political leaders, and in global forums such as the United Nations. Part one brings together four essays about organized women’s activism across borders. The chapters in part two focus on the variety of women’s activism and explore women’s activism in different national and political contexts. And part three explores the changing relationships and inequalities among women. This book addresses women’s internationalism and struggle for their rights in the international arena: it deals with racism and colonialism in Australia, India and Europe: women’s movements and political activism in South Africa, Eastern Bengal (Bangladesh), the United Kingdom, Japan and France. .Part 1: Transnational Women’s Activism 1. ‘Overcoming Hierarchies through Internationalism : May Wright Sewall’s Engagement with the International Council of Women (1888-1904)’ Karen Offen 2. ‘Transnational mentoring: the impact of Sarojini Naidu's 1924 visit to South Africa on Cissie Gool and women's leadership’ Patricia van der Spuy and Lindsay Clowes 3.

- Description
- This edited volume brings together six case studies about the need for better organizing work and trade so as to bargain for better wages and working conditions in a number of developing countries. Three link local producers with global markets : a cocoa cooperative of 54,000 producers in Ghana who are co-owners of a chocolate company in the UK: family-based cooperatives in Samoa which produce organic virgin coconut oil for export: and small enterprises in Mozambique which are helping to regenerate the cashew processing and export industry. three focus on improving the working conditions of the hundreds of thousands of wage workers in global value chains : those in the fruit exporting industry in South Africa: those in the garment export industry in Bangladesh: and those in the newly created call centres in India.
