Taylor & Francis Ltd womenpoliceinachangingsociety
Book SynopsisOffering a fascinating account of the development of women police over the past twenty years, this book refers to the author''s extended research in India to examine how the Indian experience demonstrates a valuable alternative to the Anglo-American model; not only for traditional societies but for women police in the West as well. With reference to the establishment in 1992 of all-women units in Tamil Nadu, this unique experiment proved highly successful in enhancing the confidence and professionalism of women officers and ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the police. At a time when policing is being rethought all over the world, not only in traditional societies, the Tamil Nadu practice illustrates important lessons for western countries that are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain women officers. Natarajan''s remarkable book is an important and original contribution to the literature on gendered policing, which to date has concentrated almost exclusiTrade Review'Guided by her deep respect for the daily challenges faced by women police in Tamil Nadu, Natarajan's brilliant, insightful research reaches far beyond India. This book is a must read for anyone interested in women in policing, no matter where they live or work.' Graeme R. Newman, University at Albany, New York, USA . 'Mangai Natarajan lays out a radical thesis in this important book. She argues that true gender equality in the police does not mean that men and women officers should do the same work. Instead it means that they should be assigned to duties best suited to their skills and interests, and to their lives outside the police force.' Ronald V Clarke, Rutgers University, USA 'Mangai Natarajan’s new book Women Police in a Changing Society: Back Door to Equality is a very welcome and major contribution to the field, particularly in charting the complexities of gender equity policy in policing... Her research charted an evolution in the views of women police in traditional roles towards a preference for greater integration as their experience grew and they became more confident in their ability to carry out the full range of policing duties. She therefore makes a plausible argument for a more gradual approach to the ultimate goal of gender equity in policing depending on the specific circumstances in each policing jurisdiction.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Domestic Goddesses Maternity Globalization and
Book SynopsisBased on extensive fieldwork in Calcutta, this book provides the first ethnography of how middle-class women in India understand and experience economic change through transformations of family life. It explores their ideas, practices and experiences of marriage, childbirth, reproductive change and their children''s education, and addresses the impact that globalization is having on the new middle classes in Asia more generally from a domestic perspective. By focusing on maternity, the book explores subjective understandings of the way intimate relationships and the family are affected by India''s liberalization policies and the neo-liberal ideologies that accompany through an analysis of often competing ideologies and multiple practices. And by drawing attention to women''s agency as wives, mothers and grandmothers within these new frameworks, Domestic Goddesses discusses the experiences of different age groups affected by these changes. Through a careful analysis of women''s narratiTrade Review'All in all, Domestic Goddesses provides new insights into the effects of globalization on Indian society with its detailed analysis of changes in middle-class women's practices and domestic lives in Calcutta. As such Domestic Goddesses fills a lacuna and contributes significantly to the anthropology of South Asia.' Women's Studies 'For American scholars of global feminism, this book could be a very instructive read, and, as most of the papers published in this collection are written in an accessible style, they are very appropriate for classroom use. Women's Studies courses on global and transnational feminism would very much benefit from using primary materials such as the texts collected in this volume.' Women's Studies 'An original and ethnographically rich study of the urban family and of the roles women play as wives, mothers and home-makers in the creation and reproduction of a new Indian middle-class identity. It makes a significant contribution to current anthropological discussions of how kinship and marriage systems in developing societies are impacted by globalization and the rise of consumer-oriented economies.' Sylvia Vatuk, University of Illinois,Chicago, USA 'Domestic Goddesses is an informed and sensitive account of the intimate lives and concerns of middle class women as they negotiate modernity in Calcutta today. Donner's work on the "gendered city" makes an important contribution to the urban anthropology of South Asia and to understandings of motherhood as shaped by it.' Maya Unnithan, University of Sussex, UK 'This book is without any doubt a great contribution to current anthropological discussions on how globalization and consumer oriented economies change and influence the kinship and marriage systems, as well as on how the class hierarchies are produced and reproduced in the urban setting.

SAGE Publications Inc What is Gender
Book SynopsisIs gender something done to us by society, or something we do? What is the relationship between gender and other inequalities?What is Gender? explores these complex and important questions, helping readers to critically analyse how women's and men's lives are shaped by the society in which they live. The book offers a comprehensive account of trends in sociological thinking, from a material and economic focus on gender inequalities to the debates about meaning initiated by the linguistic or cultural turn.The book begins by questioning simplistic biological conceptions of gender and goes on to evaluate different theoretical frameworks for explaining gender, as well as political approaches to gender issues. The cultural turn is also examined in relation to thinking about how gender is related to other forms of inequality such as class and 'race'. The book is up-to-date and broad in its scope, drawing on a range of disciplines, such as: sociology, psychoanalysis, masculinity studies, literary criticism, feminist political theory, feminist philosophy and feminist theory.Table of ContentsIntroduction to the sociology of gender How different are women and men? Is gender something that we do? How can gender best be explained? Is gender about bodies? What are the politics of gender? How is gender intertwined with class? How is gender intertwined with ′race′?

Cornell University Press Forgotten Men and Fallen Women
Book SynopsisHolly Allen explores popular and official narratives of forgotten manhood, fallen womanhood, and other social and moral archetypes during the Great Depression and the Second World War.Trade ReviewAllen's incisive analysis of the New Deal’s gender politics are the strength of this book. She convincingly shows how the New Deal used conservative and traditional ideas about gender to assuage American’s fears concerning the expansion of government power and new ideas about social citizenship and responsibility. -- Chris Wilhelm * H-Net *Holly Allen offers a compelling analysis of how widely circulated narratives about diverse figures such as the 'forgotten man,' the 'nagging wife,' and the Kibei 'troublemaker' shaped ordinary men's and women's understanding of their relationship to the economic, political, and social upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Allen posits that these narratives also help us to understand the era's vast growth of federal power and the many structural inequalities inherent in the emergent welfare state. By analyzing in tandem a range of civic tropes and a variety of core New Deal–era government programs, Allen reveals in rich detail how the gender, racial, and sexual conventions of both the grassroots and federal policymakers forged a civic culture focused largely on preserving the authority of white male heterosexual breadwinners. This book is an important and fascinating contribution to multiple threads of scholarship on popular culture, race, gender, sexuality, and the growth of the federal state during the Great Depression and World War II. -- Sarah Potter * American Historical Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction.

It is magnificent: the kind of book that defines the field and is returned to again and again, inspiring all sorts of thought and work for generations to come.”—Michael Cobb, author of God Hates Fags: The Rhetorics of Religious Violence“I don’t know when I’ve been so captivated by a book and eager to get to the next page. That it is original and that addresses a topic, the queer child, pretty much completely ignored is one mark of its importance. Even more striking though is the ease with which stunning insights are delivered as if they were a matter of course.

University of Hawai'i Press Gender on the Edge Transgender Gay and Other
Book SynopsisTransgender identities and other forms of gender and sexuality that transcend the normative pose important questions about society, culture, politics, and history. They force us to question, for ex- ample, the forces that divide humanity into two gender categories and render them necessary, inevitable, and natural. The transgender also exposes a host of dynamics that, at first glance, has little to do with gender or sex, such as processes of power and domination; the complex relationship among agency, subjectivity, and structure; and the mutual constitution of the global and the local. Particularly intriguing is the fact that gender and sexual diversity appear to be more prevalent in some regions of the world than in others. Gender on the Edge is an exploration of the ways in which non-normative gendering and sexuality in one such region, the Pacific Islands, are implicated in a wide range of socio-cultural dynamics that are at once local and global, historical, and contemporary.

Cambridge University Press Becoming Young Men in a New India
Book SynopsisBecoming Young Men in a New India tells the gendered story of a changing India through the lives of its young middle class men. Through time spent ethnographically ''hanging-out'' with young men in gyms, bars, clubs, trains and gay cruising grounds in India, this book critically reveals Indian men''s violence towards women in various city spaces and also shows the many classed and masculine entitlements and challenges that they experience. The book lays bare the often secretive and hidden social worlds of young Indian men and critically analyses the impact young men''s actions and identities have not just for themselves, but for the many women they encounter. In this way, it puts forward a critical queer-feminist perspective of men and masculinities in postcolonial India where the politics of class, gender, sexuality, violence and urban spaces come together.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments; List of images; Note on translations; Introduction: Young men in a neoliberal India; 1.

Taylor & Francis Intersectionality in Feminist and Queer Movements
Book SynopsisExamining the ways in which feminist and queer activists confront privilege through the use of intersectionality, this edited collection presents empirical case studies from around the world to consider how intersectionality has been taken up (or indeed contested) by activists in order to expose and resist privilege.The volume sets out three key ways in which intersectionality operates within feminist and queer movements: it is used as a collective identity, as a strategy for forming coalitions, and as a repertoire for inclusivity. The case studies presented in this book then evaluate the extent to which some, or all, of these types of intersectional activism are used to confront manifestations of privilege. Drawing upon a wide range of cases from across time and space, this volume explores the difficulties with which activists often grapple when it comes to translating the desire for intersectionality into a praxis which confronts privilege.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Schools as Queer Transformative Spaces
Book SynopsisThis book explores the narratives and experiences of LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming students around the world. Much previous research has focused on homophobic/transphobic bullying and the negative consequences of expressing non-heterosexual and non-gender-conforming identities in school environments. To date, less attention has been paid to what may help LGBTQ+ students to experience school more positively, and relatively little has been done to compare research across the global contexts. This book addresses these research gaps by bringing together ongoing research from countries including Brazil, China, South Africa, the UK and many more. Each chapter examines results of empirical research into school experiences of LGBTQ+ students, and the experiences and perspectives of teachers and parents. All contributions are theoretically informed by aspects of queer theory and/or critical feminist theory, with additional insights from psychological, sociological and linTable of ContentsIntroduction: Schools as Queer Transformative Spaces Educators and Curriculum Developers 1.

Book SynopsisThis book is a biography and reception history of the LithuanianâAmerican archaeologist Marija Gimbutas (1921â1994). It presents the first transnational account of Gimbutasâ life based on historical research, and an original examination of the impact of her ideas in various feminist contexts, both academic and popular.At the core of this book is a success story of an Eastern European woman who survived both Soviet and Nazi occupations of her homeland, lived as a displaced person in postwar Germany, and built her career and scholarly authority within the androcentric American academia. At the same time, it is also a story of a controversy, which followed Gimbutasâ theory of Old Europe â a prehistoric civilization, characterized by peacefulness, egalitarianism, womenâs leadership, and the worship of the Great Goddess. First introduced in 1974, this theory inspired womenâs movements worldwide, but was harshly criticized by other archaeologists. This book examines the various int

Taylor & Francis Ltd Love Is Love Is Love
Book SynopsisThe politics of Broadway musicals matter a great deal more to U.S. American culture than they appear to mean, and they are especially important to mainstream politics surrounding sex, gender, and sexuality. Love Is Love Is Love looks to the Broadway musicals of the past decade for help understanding the current state of LGBTQ politics in the United States. Through analyses of Promises, Promises, Newsies, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Color Purple, and Frozen, this book attempts to move past the question of representational politics and asks us instead to think in more complex ways about LGBTQ identity, what LGBTQ politics are, and the politics of Broadway musicals themselves. Producing new, complex readings of all five of these musicals, author Aaron C. Thomas places each of them within the context of the LGBTQ politics of their day. Some of the issues the book treats are controversies of casting, the closetedness and openness of musical theatre, Table of Contents1. Shut Up and Deal 2. It Gets Better Than Boyhood 3.

Taylor & Francis Gender and Divorce in Europe 1600 â 1900
Book SynopsisGetting divorced and remarried are now common practices in European societies, even if the rules differ from one country to the next. Civil marriage law still echoes religious marriage law, which for centuries determined which persons could enter into marriage with each other and how validly contracted marriages could be ended.Religions and denominations also had different regulations regarding whether a divorce only ended marital obligations or also permitted remarriage during the lifetime of the divorced spouse. This book deals with predominantly handwritten documents of divorce proceedings from the British Isles to Western, Central, and Southeastern Europe, and from 1600 to the 1930s. The praxeological analysis reveals the arguments and strategies put forward to obtain or prevent divorce, as well as the social and, above all, economic conditions and arrangements connected with divorce. The contributions break new ground by combining previously often separate fields of reseTable of Contents1.Introduction. 2.Women and Work.

Taylor & Francis A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research
Book SynopsisThis book explores the development and implementation of the Clay Embodiment Research Method (CERM) with one of the most stigmatized, oppressed, and marginalized groups of women in Nepal: sex-trafficked women.It argues for the use of a feminist approach to such research given the prevailing patriarchal norms, cultural sensitivity of reproductive health, stigmatization of sex trafficking, and low literacy of the women involved. Beginning with an exploration of the authorâs relationship with Nepal and the women who guide the study, and the realization that a more accessible research approach was needed than the techniques otherwise commonly used, it discusses the use of clay and photography as ideal entry points to engaging with the women in the research and creating this ethical methodology for self-empowerment. Not only does the volume highlight extraordinary insights offered by the women involved in this study through the application of CERM, but also the recognition that it

Taylor & Francis Ltd Feminist Theory and International Law
Book SynopsisFeminist approaches to international law have been mischaracterised by the mainstream of the discipline as being a niche field that pertains only to women's lived experiences and their participation in decision-making processes. Exemplifying how feminist approaches can be used to analyse all areas of international law, this book applies posthuman feminist theory to examine the regulation of new and emerging military technologies, international environmental law and the conceptualisation of the sovereign state and other modes of legal personality in international law.Noting that most posthuman scholarship to date is primarily theoretical, this book also contributes to the field of posthumanism through its application of posthuman feminism to international law, working to bridge the theory and practice divide by using posthuman feminism to design and call for legal change. This interdisciplinary book draws on an array of fields, including philosophy, queer and feminist theoriesTrade Review"This important book explores critically the main intersections between International Law and the nonhuman in the contemporary world. Emily Jones’s bold interdisciplinary approach exposes the limitations of the Humanism and Anthropocentrism inherent to International Law, while re-asserting the Law’s commitment to face the challenges of the posthuman predicament. Foremost among them, the regulation of human-machine interaction in military technologies and the status of nature in Environmental Law.Pragmatic, but theoretically savvy, Jones combines critique with creativity by proposing alternative sources that many help overcome legal liberalism. Posthuman Feminism, Queering the Nonhuman, Indigenous Epistemologies, New Materialism, and the Rights of Nature movement are just some of the toolkits this remarkable book provides as a way forward. Emily Jones holds legal discourse accountable but also confirms its ability to change and construct more inclusive, sustainable and just worlds. A major work that will leave a mark." Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished Professor Emerita, Utrecht University, the Netherlands."Anchoring us in new possibilities, this impressive work explains what posthuman feminist perspectives offer to the urgent task of superseding international law’s deadly imperial anthropocentrism by fostering legal systems capable of sustaining life in all its forms. Drawing on a staggering array of interdisciplinary critical scholarship, Jones illustrates some of the paradigm shifts that are necessary if we, and the planet, are to survive (let alone flourish) in these posthuman times. To illustrate, she engages adeptly with current debates in two areas of international law – the regulation of lethal military technologies and international environmental law. Along the way Jones remains cognisant of the many tensions that can compromise or co-opt feminist efforts to change international law’s neoliberal humanist orientation from within, readily acknowledging that posthuman feminist change is also necessary outside the law and may even require a turning away from law." Dianne Otto, Melbourne Law School, Australia."In this meticulously researched and beautifully written book, Emily Jones draws on posthuman feminism to both highlight and question international law's constitutive boundaries: human/nature, human/technology and, perhaps above all, the boundaries imposed upon feminist legal theory in the field. By applying a radically egalitarian feminist framework to the laws of war and international environmental law, Jones reveals that some of the most urgent problems of our times, war, climate change and anti-feminist backlash, are much more interconnected than we might have thought."

Taylor & Francis Venus in the Dark
Book SynopsisIn this third edition of the classic cultural history of black womenâs beauty, Venus in the Dark: Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture, Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the âœHottentot Venusâ and the history of critical and artistic responses to her by black women in contemporary photography, film, literature, music, and dance.In 1810, Sara Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe, where she was put on display at circuses, salons, museums, and universities as the âœHottentot Venus.â The subsequent legacy of representations of black womenâs sexualityâfrom Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videos, to our favorite pop acts including BeyoncÃ, Rihanna, and Megan Thee Stallion ârefer back to her iconic image. Via a new preface, Hobson explores the continuing influence of Baartmanâs legacy through the contemporary marketization of black womenâs bodies; from popular music and pornography to advertising and presidential campaigns. A brand-new chapter analyzes fetishistic spectacles of the black âœbooty,â with particular emphasis on the rise in cosmetic surgeries, such as BBLs, and the different ways that twenty-first-century subjects have reshaped and redefined their bodies in an emergent global body politic.This new edition of Venus in the Dark: Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture is essential reading for students and researchers, as well those outside of academia interested in the subjects of black women and their beautification efforts.

Cambridge University Press Women and Medieval Literary Culture
Book SynopsisFocusing on England but covering a wide range of European and global traditions and influences, this authoritative volume examines the central role of medieval women in the production and circulation of books and considers their representation in medieval literature, as authors, readers and subjects, assessing how these change over time.Trade Review'This book makes a statement, not simply about medieval women, but about medieval life. With chapters on ecclesiastical women, noble and royal women, townswomen, readers and patrons the volume offers a broad understanding of the interests, complexities, and dynamics of medieval life. The arrangement of the essays makes it easy to navigate among topics and interests. The essays are cogent; the bibliographies are good, and the entire volume gives readers a sense of the many ways in which women were involved with a broadly conceived literary culture in the Middle Ages.' Lynn Staley, Colgate University'This groundbreaking volume of essays extends our collective knowledge of medieval British women's literary culture, and indeed our sense of what constitutes a literary culture, in consistently learned and illuminating ways. The product of deep research and long conversation, it represents both a milestone in the field and a provocation to further work across the wide range of centuries, settings, and genres addressed by its contributors.' Nicholas Watson, Harvard University'As one might expect from two such distinguished scholars in the field of medieval women's writing, Corinne Saunders and Diane Watt have solicited a wealth of new research from their contributors on women and literary culture throughout the long medieval period. This excellent volume is not only brimful with information but shapes the role of women in freshly ambitious terms, ranging both widely and in illuminating detail across manuscript culture, female reading communities, medicine, genre, and language.
