Taylor & Francis Ltd Exploiting the Limits of Law Swedish Feminism and the Challenge to Pessimism
Book SynopsisMoving beyond the question of whether an area of scholarly investigation can truly be characterized as ''legal'', Exploiting the Limits of Law combats the often unhelpful constraints of law''s subject-matter and formal processes. Through a process of reflection on the limits of law and repeated efforts to redraw them, this book challenges the general sense of pessimism among feminists and others about the usefulness of law as an instrument of change. The work combines theoretical analysis of the law''s boundaries with investigation of the practical settings for changing legal and policy environments. Both the empirical focus of this volume, and its underlying theoretical concern with the limits of the law and its gender implications, render it of interest to legal scholars throughout the world, whether of EU law, feminism, social policy or philosophy.Trade Review'This book deepens our understanding of Swedish legal feminism by contextualising it within the paradigms and epistemologies of Nordic legal scholarship. The authors’ thoroughgoing excavation of the field and their sustained, feminist challenge to the boundaries and limits of accepted legal knowledge, are both thought-provoking and inspiring.' Professor Rosemary Hunter, University of Kent, UK and Chair, Working Group on Gender and Law, Research Committee on Sociology of Law 'This joint Swedish-Australian edited book is useful and inspiring for those generally interested in contemporary understandings of law in a changing world. It takes advantage of the fact that this world is legally plural. The challenges to Nordic understandings of law and to feminist pessimism offered in the diverse theoretical and practice oriented contributions are both timely and uplifting.' Professor Hanne Petersen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 'Exploiting the limits of law is a well-edited collection of exciting articles moving beyond the disciplinary question of what exactly should or could be characterised as 'legal' studies. The book offers very helpful critical analysis for all those interested in Scandinavian realism, legal dogmatics, current developments in welfare state feminism and the shortcomings of critical legal studies in the Nordic context, from a feminist point of view. It also contributes to the critical discussion on how to approach the question of law and politics, and how to challenge the social inequalities and power structures that reproduce gender inequalities and sexual hierarchies. The book is very suitable for use as course material in EU law, feminist jurisprudence, social policy, history of law and women's law.'

Taylor & Francis Inc Revolutionary Desires
Book SynopsisRevolutionary Desires examines the lives and subjectivities of militant-nationalist and communist women in India from the late 1920s, shortly after the communist movement took root, to the 1960s, when it fractured. This close study demonstrates how India's revolutionary women shaped a new female â and in some cases feminist â political subject in the twentieth century, in collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist, liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood.Through a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these womenâs political experiences, both public Trade Review‘Revolutionary Desires looks at communists as people – involved in different struggles (not least, against their own lives and subjectivities)– in ever-shifting and complex political debates, in difficult and new orders of intimate relationships and social rebellions, and in highly creative cultural representations and self-representations. It is a marvelously rich account of the emergence of a new political subject – a fascinating and untold story that is told compellingly.’Tanika Sarkar, Retired Professor, Modern History, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India‘Ania Loomba’s insistent refusal to compartmentalize the personal and the political in this study of revolutionary and communist women in India is a signal achievement: a model for a radical historiography.’ Mrinalini Sinha, Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan, USA‘Intimacy, longing, desire and revolution – the heady cocktail that Ania Loomba has produced is a feminist delight.’Nivedita Menon, Professor, Centre for Comparative Politics and Political Theory, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India‘In this inimitable feminist history of Indian women rebels and revolutionaries, Ania Loomba turns her well-trained eye on a shamefully under-written history of radical political desire in all its gendered forms. These pages are literally bursting with stories of militant and communist women who were nothing but trouble in and for modern Indian history.’Antoinette M. Burton, Catherine C. and Bruce A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ambivalent Transnational Belonging in American Literature
Book SynopsisAmbivalent Transnational Belonging in American Literature discusses the extent to which transnational concepts of identity and community are cast within nationalist frameworks. It analyzes how the different narrative perspectives in texts by Olaudah Equiano, Catharina Maria Sedgwick, Henry James, Jamaica Kincaid, and Mohsin Hamid shape protagonists' complex transnational subjectivities, which exist between or outside national frameworks but are nevertheless interpellated through the nation-state and through particular myths about liberal, sentimental, or cosmopolitan subjects.The notion of ambivalent transnational belonging yields insights into the affective appeal of the transnational as a category of analysis, as an aesthetic experience, and as an idea of belonging. This means bringing the transnational into conversation with the aesthetic and the affective so we may fully address the new conceptual challenges faced by literary studies due to the transnational turnTrade Review"A significant contribution to the way we practice a transnational approach to literary analysis in American Studies, Schultermandl's work offers a complex and illuminating focus on the potentialities born of the reader's encounter with their ambivalent attachments to nation, identity, myths and values."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Postcolonial Feminism in Management and
Book SynopsisThe term feminism is often treated as a stable and universalizing politics and practice. For postcolonial feminism, the issues of interest are not only social and cultural inequalities in terms of caste, class, color, ethnicity, gender, and religion, but also historical, political, and geographical inequalities in terms of Third World, Global South and remnants of the colonial past. Postcolonial feminism pays nuanced attention to historical diversity and local specificity of feminist issues. This book draws upon the work grounded specifically in the context of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh to demonstrate the plurality of thinking.In mainstream management and organization studies, context is often understood as a present, static field. This book discusses how context is an important consideration for any management and organization study and for feminist studies in management and organization studies. It informs the way we need to understand context not just as present but aTrade Review"Excellently conceived and executed, this volume welcomes readers into a world where the postcolonial emerges through the works and experiences of MOS scholars in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Postcolonial feminism interrogates what colonialism 'left behind' and helps forward affirmative possibilities with local knowledges as decolonizing practices."Professor Marta B. Calás, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA"Bringing together lenses of postcolonial feminism, management and organization studies, and South Asia which do not often appear together in literature, this book weaves together a rich tapestry of ideas, arguments, and provocations that need to inform ongoing and future work on decolonizing management studies." Professor Nimruji Jammulamadaka, IIM Calcutta"The edited collection by Vijayta Doshi, provides a much needed anthology on important and under-researched issues that concern us all, examined through a wide-ranging and original work of postcolonial feminist theory and practice. Organizational scholars and students alike will find Postcolonial Feminism in Management and Organization Studies: Critical Perspectives from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh an invaluable compendium for expanding their thinking, research, and teaching."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Capitalism Crisis and the Politics
Book SynopsisContemporary Capitalism, Crisis, and the Politics of Fiction: Literature Beyond Fordism proposes a fresh approach to contemporary fictional engagements with the idea of crisis in capitalism and its various social and economic manifestations. The book investigates how late-twentieth and twenty-first-century Anglophone fiction has imagined, interpreted, and in most cases resisted, the collapse of the socio-economic structures built after the Second World War and their replacement with a presumably immaterial order of finance-led economic development. Through a series of detailed readings of the words of authors Martin Amis, Hari Kunzru, Don DeLillo, Zia Haider Rahman, John Lanchester, Paul Murray and Zadie Smith among others, this study sheds light on the embattled and decidedly unstable nature of contemporary capitalism.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Post-Fordism and CrisisChapter 2: Subjects of AbstractionChapter 3: The Crisis and the CityChapter 4: Servile BecomingsChapter 5: The Reproductive ImaginationChapter 6: The Politics of Division

Taylor & Francis Ltd Africana Womanism
Book SynopsisThe sixth edition of Africana Womanism provides important updates to the classic text in which Clenora Hudson (Weems) sets out a paradigm for women of African descent. Differentiating itself from the problematic theories of Western feminisms, Africana Womanism allows an establishment of cultural identity and relationship directly to ancestry and land.Introduced in the mid-1980s, Africana Womanism offers a new term and paradigm for women of African descent, a family-centered concept, prioritizing race, class, and gender. This new edition includes an Africana Womanist reading of Angie Thomas' twenty-first-century novel, The Hate U Give, continuing existing Africana Womanist readings of twentieth-century novels by Hurston, Bâ, Marshall, Morrison, and McMillan; a Prologue, a previously unpublished interview with the author; a revised conclusion; updated bibliographies; an updated annotated bibliography; and a new section outlining key questions, clarificaTrade Review"In this sixth edition of Africana Womanism, Clenora Hudson (Weems) delivers an unparalleled masterpiece informed by critical analysis of texts from the Africana village, which includes nineteenth-century church Black women activists, Africana historians, social and cultural theorists, poets, and novelists. Africana Womanism’s fate is sealed as an enduring classic that adeptly and precisely articulates the origins and conceptualization of a wholistic multi-diasporic womanism. It is a finely curated expanded assemblage of wisdom that includes an annotated bibliography, a complete syllabus for teaching Africana womanism and an instructive interview on topics from Alice Walker’s "womanist" to polygamy and globalization. We are in it together!"Mitzi J. Smith, New Testament Professor and author of Womanist Sass and Talk Back: Social (In)Justice, Intersectionality, and Biblical Interpretation and I Found God in Me: A Womanist Biblical Hermeneutics Reader"Reflecting the heartbeat of Africana women globally, Clenora Hudson (Weems) unapologetically chronicles the desires and will of Black women to affirm their humanity, and to reimagine, and reinvent a world more just, while embracing their authentic selves. The current discourse on justice and equity is incomplete without an Afrocentric Africana Womanism lens to fortify the authentic inclusion of Africana women, families and communities. It challenges systemic racism, classism and sexism from an Africana cultural epistemology to recenter Africana phenomenon. Therefore, Africana Womanism serves as a critical disruptive paradigm that dismantles oppressive ideologies and restores Africana family heritage to its rightful and victorious place in Africana communities. This new edition encapsulates the terminological evolution of Africana Womanism to Africana-Melanated Womanism pedagogy, for it continues to champion Africana family systems as central to the advancement and liberation of Africana women and their communities."Marquita Gammage, Professor & Chair of Africana Studies Department at California State University, Northridge, and author of Representations of Black Women in the Media (Routledge)"Clenora Hudson (Weems) continues her robust theoretical and analytical inquiry into the nature of Africana Womanism with this powerful work. Unquestionably, Hudson-Weems is the most important theorist writing on this aspect of the African world. I recommend this book and suggest that it should be high on the list of valuable contributions to your syllabus and general reading. Salute!"Molefi Kete Asante, Professor and Chair, Department of African American Studies at Temple University; author of The History of Africa"Three things are primary to any discussion of Womanist thought: the people, the language and the land. In this New Edition, Clenora Hudson (Weems) links these key features while reminding us of race, gender and family centrality to Black communal wholeness. As one of the originators of womanist thought, everything Hudson-Weems has to say about the subject is important to know. The book’s new section makes this text not only important but also essential to any serious study of Africana womanist thought and its contemporary development. She offers complex and provocative discussions that deepen our consideration of what an Africana womanist is, does, perceives, and preserves. I recommend it for courses and personal, intellectual gratification."Debra Walker King, Professor of English, University of Florida; author of African Americans and the Culture of Pain"Congratulations to Dr. Hudson (Weems) for yet another pace-setting and mind-liberating volume. Africana Womanism (New Edition) is not just an idea in the academe. More important, it is a living part of the everyday energy and struggles for self-definition and self-naming that Africans, wherever they are, pursue with unmitigated commitment."Itai Muhwati, Professor and Dean of Arts, University of Zimbabwe; editor of Dariro: African Theory of Participation and Performance"Clenora continues to advance Africana Womanism theory in this important volume, wherein the process began with self-naming and self-defining. This allows for a solid identifying and refining of an African-centered paradigm for worldwide Africana-Melanated women. From this, the ultimate ensues, as the theory, characterized by affirmation and engagement, seeks to unite the Africana woman and man in the on-going struggle for human survival. In so doing, the struggle continues in their communities, their countries and the world until ultimately total equity prevails."Adele S. Newson-Horst, Professor of English, Morgan State University; editor of Winds of Change"Africana Womanism represents Dr. Clenora Hudson (Weems)’ perception about the urgent need for Africana-Melanated people to strategize workable means by which to solidify true survival for our own. The question is, "If we don’t, then who will make possible the continuation of our legacy?" This book speaks directly to the issue of justice, and that means real equity for all on all levels, race, class and gender. It’s a meaningful book for all to read!"Lillian A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Becoming Wollstonecraft
Book SynopsisBecoming Wollstonecraft: The Interconnection of Her Life and Works draws from biography to explain her works, and it analyses the works to draw a biographical composite of Wollstonecraft. Becoming Wollstonecraft will be more fully developed than previous works, with added information that has not previously been associated with Wollstonecraft, such as the story of Reverend Mr. Joshua Waterhouse.Although there are over fifty book-length biographies published on Wollstonecraft, very few agree on much about Wollstonecraft. She seems to have become an everywoman, or a figure unfixed in time and protean. Deemed the Mother of Feminism, like feminism itself, she is what people have wanted her to be and is by no means an immutable or universal personage.A study of her life as evident by her works and vice versa, this monograph intends to refocus the image of Wollstonecraft for students and scholars, informed by biographical texts on Wollstonecraft and on those pe

Taylor & Francis Speculative Architectures after Minoritarian Futurisms
Book SynopsisSpeculative Architecture after Minoritarian Futurisms is a work of architectural theory which understands architecture as a practice of speculation analogous to science fiction. While it might seem immediately obvious, especially given the discipline's legacy of fantastical invention and commitment to 'the future,' this book argues that this hypothetical conjunction offers a highly sophisticated critical perspective on the discipline, arguing that the only way to deal with the complex challenges of the present is in processes of speculation and ethical commitment to imagining futures evinced in minoritarian futurisms. This book reads architecture from the perspective of the recent florescence of futurismsâ from Afro-futurism to xeno-feminismâwith an attention to how they produce a different image of architecture. In understanding architecture as speculative practice, the book also suggests understanding the architect by analogy to the author of science fiction. Learning from queer and feminist perspectives, this method of 'science fictioning' refuses to take the terms now defining the discipline as totalising and immutable, and investigates the unique subjectivities, positions, and responsibilities that might be imagined as the architect-to-come.This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural theory, science fiction studies, design futures and global futurisms.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Queer Ink A Blotted History Towards Liberation
Book SynopsisThis historical interdisciplinary book contextualises the Rorschach ink blot test and embeds it within feminist action and queer liberation. What do you see when you look at an ink blot? The Rorschach ink blot test is one of the most famous psychological tests and it has a surprisingly queer history. In mapping this history, this book explores how this test, once used to detect and diagnose homosexuality', was later used by some psychologists and activists to fight for gay liberation. In this book the author uses the test in yet another way, as a lens through which we can reveal a queer feminist history of Psychology. By looking closely at the lives and work of some women psychologists and activists it becomes clear that their work was influenced by their own, often queer, lives. By tracing the lives and actions of women who used, were tested with, or influenced by, the Rorschach, a new kind of understanding of gay and lesbian history in Britain is revealed.Table of ContentsChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Queer Signs on the RorschachChapter 3: Queer Approaches to Depathologisation Chapter 4: Queer Signs in the Projective PsychologistsChapter 5: Queer Research and Lesbian LiberationChapter 6: Queer Activism and Academia Chapter 7: Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Bisexual and Pansexual Identities
Book SynopsisThis book explores the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality from the past to the present and is unique in extending the discussion to focus on contemporary and emerging identities. Nikki Hayfield draws on research from psychology and the social sciences to offer a detailed and in-depth exploration of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality.The book discusses how early sexologists' understood gender and sexuality within a binary model and how this provided the underpinnings of bisexual invisibility. The existing research on biphobia and bisexual marginalisation is synthesised to explore how bisexuality has often been invisible or invalidated. Hayfield then evidences clear examples of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality within education, employment, mainstream mass media, and the wider culture. Throughout the book there is consideration of the impact that this invisibility and invaTrade Review‘Hayfield's Bisexual and Pansexual Identities: Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation is a much needed text both in studying plurisexualities and sexualities more broadly. Hayfield's text has a brilliant clarity and breadth, giving much needed academic attention to bisexual identities, and also sexual identities not commonly studied including asexuality and pansexuality.
