University of Hawai'i Press TransPacific Japanese American Studies
Book SynopsisPresents a unique collection of essays derived from a series of dialogues held in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Los Angeles on the issues of racializations, gender, communities, and the positionalities of scholars involved in Japanese American studies.Trade ReviewThis volume, a first in Japanese American studies, involves US and Japanese scholars discussing positionality, language, insight, and interpretations within the historical context of early immigration and Japanese American incarceration and racialization, as well as initiating conversations on Japanese imperialism and enthonationalism [sic] and its impact in the Japanese American community. Essential. Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies expands the intellectual breadth and depth of Japanese American studies because it deliberately brings together the conversations of scholars in North American and Japan to dismantle the hierarchy within the scholarship in the field. . . . [It] is accessible to those at both undergraduate and graduate levels. For scholars interested in current issues within Japanese American historiography, this is an important book, and it will have a long shelf life. Takezawa and Okihiro make a sustained case that Japanese American studies is best conceptualized in terms of an interactive "trans-Pacific" dynamic rather than simply a transnational, diasporic, or even global, framework. Consequently, because of its innovative ideas, foci, and methodologies, this will become an invaluable, state-of-the-art collection. Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies: Conversations on Race and Racializations is an intellectual feast, and an enormously useful and challenging book. Nineteen scholars—roughly half from Japan and half from the continental United States, Canada, and Hawai‘i—took part in several years of trans-Pacific conversations and meetings. No scholar of Asian American studies can afford to ignore Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies. Many scholars of ethnic studies more broadly will benefit from spending time in the pages of this book. And scholars in all fields would do well to imitate the long-conversation method that went into its making. Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies sits on the cutting edge of research in Japanese American studies. Each section features unique juxtapositions of diverse perspectives, illuminating issues like community making and unmaking, gender and racial politics, and representations and elisions in the scholarly record. The final section on "positionality" is enlightening, exploring the ways in which scholars occasionally encounter prejudice in both Academia and society at large, and are often exposed to eye-opening experiences when crossing national boundaries. An excellent model of international joint research. Although this work is primarily targeted at other scholars and advanced university students within their common transpacific field of inquiry, its well-grounded and illuminating introduction, 14 essays, and 7 perspectival responses to the book’s contents have much to offer a general readership. . . . This book is an important milestone in Japanese American studies and its core message for how the Japanese American community should be studied and represented in the future needs to be heeded.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Medieval Women and the Law
Book SynopsisLegal records illuminate womens' use of legal processes, with regard to the making of wills, the age of consent, rights concerning marriage and children, women as traders, etc.Determined and largely successful effort to read behind and alongside legal discourses to discover women's voices and women's feelings. It adds usefully to the wider debate on women's role in medieval society. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW What is really new here is the ways in which the authors approach the history of the law: they use some decidedly non-legal texts to examine legal history; they bring together historical and literary sources; and they debunk the view that medieval laws had little to say about women or that medieval women had little legal agency. ALBION The legal position of the late medieval woman has been much neglected, and it is this gap which the essays collected here seek to fill. They explore the ways in which women of all ages and stations during the late middle ages (c.1300-c.1500) could legally shift for themselves, and how and where they did so. Particular topics discussed include the making of wills, the age of consent, rights concerning marriage, care, custody and guardianship (with particular emphasis on the rights of a mother attempting to gain custody of her own children within the court system), women as traders, women as criminals, prostitution, the rights of battered women within the courts, the procedures women had to go through to gain legal redress and access, rape, and women within guilds.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Research on Gender and Economic Life
Book SynopsisThe contributors – academics, policy analysts and practitioners from wide-ranging areas of expertise – discuss the methodological approaches to, and analytical tools for, conducting research on the gender dimension of economic life.Trade ReviewThis volume brings together various theoretical and empirical contributions of well-known feminist economists covering a wide range of time-appropriate topics across countries. They include formal and informal labor market participation, the care economy, employment policies that affect women, and education, health and welfare. A must read for faculty, students, and practitioners of economics, feminist economics, sociology, and public and health policy... Highly recommended. --S. Chaudhuri, ChoiceThe Handbook of Research on Gender and Economic Life edited by Debrorah Figart and Tonia Warnecke is an insightful compilation of 33 articles describing the research on the interactions between gender and economic life. It seeks to show how gender permeates every facet of economic life (the ''process of provisioning for well-being'') even though it is routinely disregarded by mainstream neoclassical models. The Handbook of Research on Gender and Economic Life is a grand success. Each chapter evaluates an area where gender is missing in economic models, where policy need to be addressed, and/or where stylized facts exemplify the central role gender plays. The strength of the Handbook of Research on Gender and Economic Life lies in its breadth of coverage. The easy-to-read, well-written, and non-technical chapters would be ideal for a class on gender economics, globalization, or women's studies. The Handbook of Research on Gender and Economic Life provides a comprehensive evaluation of gender economics. It would be difficult to find a student who could not find a topic appealing to his or her particular interests. --Erin George, Eastern Economic JournalTable of ContentsContents: Foreword Diane Elson Introduction Deborah M.

Excellent reading for courses in women's studies, communications, and culture." —Choice"'How did the strong figure of Rosie the Riveter become transformed into the naive, dependent, childlike, self-abnegating model of femininity is the late forties and 1950s?' Honey's analysis of fiction and advertising in two popular magazines [True Story and Saturday Evening Post] of the period follows the shifting image of women produced in response to advice and actual story ideas from government propaganda agencies, e.g., the Office of War Information. By untangling conflicting themes in these and earlier images, she moves beyond the conspiracy theory often implied in discussions of the 'feminine mystique.' This scholarly study is decidedly readable and concise." —Library Journal"Honey's fine study of wartime images of women underscores the importance of systematic research. In addition, her book demonstrates the value of scholarly sensitivity to issues of class as well as gender. The differences Honey finds are striking, her conclusions sobering." —American Historical Review"Honey has produced a provocative history. Creating Rosie the Riveter makes one think differently about how advertising and the division of labor can affect the image of women. Rosie the Riveter was created in a short time in a moment of need, but she was dismissed just as quickly, sent off to have babies and find meaning in the world where 'father knows best.' This shift was caused not only by the mass media, but also by the images already present in the American tradition. The strong pioneer woman and the keeper of the hearth have been around for a long time." —Business History Review"Honey's well-researched and well-written volume helps to demonstrate that continuity with the past and future, not change, was the dominant theme for women in the 1940s." —D'Ann Campbell, Minerva

HAU Acting for Others Relational Transformations in
Book SynopsisFor the Ankave of Papua New Guinea, men, unlike women, do not reach adulthood and become fathers simply by growing up and reproducing. What fathers and by extension, men actually are is a result of a series of relational transformations, operated in and by rituals in which men and women both perform complementary actions in separate spaces. Acting for Others is a tour de force in Melanesian ethnography, gender studies, and theories of ritual. Based on years of fieldwork conducted by the author and her husband and co-ethnographer, this book's double view of the Ankave ritual cycle from women in the village and from the men in the forest is novel, provocative, and one of the most incisive analyses of the emergence of ideas of gender in Papua New Guinea since Marilyn Strathern's The Gender of the Gift. At the heart of Pascale Bonnem re's argument is the idea that it is possible for genders to act for and upon one another, and to do so almost paradoxically, by limiting action through the o

Focusing on the changing and diversified contexts in which work-life tensions are experienced and balances negotiated across gender and employment relations, the authors shed new light on the different micro and macro dimensions involved, as well as on the importance of a life course perspective. Using a variety of research methods, they look at different kinds of workers and working conditions, highlighting also the ongoing redefinition of the boundaries between (paid) work and other life spheres.’ -- Chiara Saraceno, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Turin, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Research Handbook on Work–Life Balance 1 Sonia Bertolini and Barbara Poggio PART I THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK 2 Work–life balance and beyond: premises and challenges 8 Anna Carreri, Annalisa Dordoni, and Barbara Poggio 3 Doing research on work–life balance 27 Sonia Bertolini and Rosy Musumeci PART II MULTILEVEL PERSPECTIVES ALONG GENDER AND TEMPORAL AXES 4 Research on work–life balance: a gender structure analysis 50 Emily Hallgren and Barbara J.

Book SynopsisYou cannot win without a workplace where women and men have equal opportunities, equal input, and equal power.Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner, McKinsey & Company On almost a daily basis, we read stories in the news about high-profile male leaders, CEOs, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs harassing and acting inappropriately toward the women with whom they work. Following such revelations, these men generally lose their jobs, and their companies lose valuable female talent, customers/clients, and their reputations. And, although we regularly hear stories about the bro culture that obstructs women''s progress and creates hostile work environments for them, we haven''t heard as much about the efforts of good men who want to change the in-office behaviorof their teams and companies so that they and women they work with can realize their full potential and their businesses can thrive. This book teaches men and managers how to respond in these situations anTable of ContentsForeword xiii Dominic Barton,Global Managing Director, McKInsey & Company Introduction 1 You want to get to the next level in your career or business.You’re one of the good guys. You see opportunities. You like to win and are not afraid of competition. You want to work well with women and support equality. You wonder why, with all the investments made in educating girls and developing women, we still have all these “women’s” issues. 1 Why Care About Gender Balance at Work? 34 Diversity = dollars. The business case for “why men and women”’ and the facts, presented in a way you haven’t thought of before. Your objections and skepticism addressed. Why the only way to win is to win together. 2 The WE 4.0 Framework 54 Four actions that maximize your own success and business results when men and women work equally together. How you can individually effect change where you are now regardless of what’s happening around you. 3 Eliminate 66 What to stop. Horror stories, hero stories, and techniques the savviest leaders use. Specifi c ways to interrupt unconscious bias and improve your work environment so that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. 4 Expand 92 What to increase. How you can recruit, retain, give direct feedback, and network with women. Be a sponsor, not just a mentor. Develop female talent and improve your own results. 5 Encourage 128 How to support. Discover what most men and managers miss in meetings and what to do about it. Take simple steps to make women and their contributions more visible. Unlock opportunities for yourself, women, and your company through your support and encouragement. 6 Engage 152 How to participate. Leave “loudly,” get in on “work-keeping,” and learn the secrets of leaders who transform work environments and champion equality. Be the example. This isn’t your father’s workplace. Conclusion 167 WE 4.0 cases in action. Be the transformational leader your son, daughter, wife, sister, colleague, and business need you to be. It’s about the opportunities you want for yourself, and those you care about.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Life in America
Book SynopsisLife in America: Identity and Everyday Experience is a fascinating collection of readings that explores how people negotiate identity in the United States today. Brings together readings that provide a thoroughly engaging and fascinating look at central issues of identity and what it means to be American. Explores the tension between identity and identification to help readers begin to understand how people creatively confront the perks and perils of identity in the United States. Offers a look at a wide range of subjects including: violence and video games, queer pilgrimages to San Francisco, Filipina critiques of sleeping around, and the significance of lowriders in Hispano/Chicano culture. Trade Review"This rich volume can be recommended to both advanced scholars of American culture and beginners in this field. The former can find a multitude of quite recent applications of approaches they are already familiar with; the latter may wonder at the dizzying varieties of American experience, as well as look with disbelief at the multitude." Anthropologie "Lee Baker has pulled together and provided an extremely useful conceptual frame for some of the best social analysis on current trends in the cultural practices of identity and identification in US society. This collection is a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in demystifying identity politics and understanding the complexities, pluralities, and common ground of cultural citizenship in the USA as it is changing in the new millennium." Faye V. Harrison, University of Tennessee "American higher education’s longstanding myths about cultural assimilation and equal access for all have given way to a new scholarly literature, which rigorously critiques the structures of identity, inequality, and power. In this timely and provocative reader, brilliant anthropologist Lee Baker has selected an outstanding collection of essays about the complex politics of cultural diversity. Life in America provides an insightful exploration into the major contemporary debates and issues that define studies of race, gender, sexuality, and class in American society." Manning Marable, Columbia University "Life in America is a user’s guide to everyday life and all its contradictory complexity, an indispensable inventory of practices and patterns in US society that produce both creative connections and corrosive conflicts, stimulating similarities and disturbing differences."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Gendered Talk at Work
Book SynopsisGendered Talk at Work examines how women and men negotiate their gender identities as well as their professional roles in everyday workplace communication. written accessibly by one of the field's foremost researchers explores the ways in which gender contributes to the interpretation of meaning in workplace interaction uses original and insightfully analyzed data to focus on the ways in which both women and men draw on gendered discourse resources to enact a range of workplace roles illustrates how a qualitative analysis of workplace discourse can throw light on the many ways in which workplace discourse provides a resource for constructing gender identity as one component of our complex socio-cultural identity Trade Review"Gendered Talk at Work offers rich empirical texture to support subtle and careful analysis of gender in workplace talk. Janet Holmes’s highly readable yet theoretically sophisticated book will be required reading not just for sociolinguists but for everyone interested in promoting gender equity in employment." Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University "A particular strength of this book is its accessibility to non-linguists: it will assist women and men in the workplace to gain a more sophisticated understanding of how gender interacts with power in producing different ways of speaking." Anne Pauwels, The University of Western Australia "Janet Holmes’s account of gender and workplace discourse represents sociolinguistic scholarship at its best. Her detailed and wide-ranging analysis of language in interaction provides unique insights into the linguistic culture of the workplace and challenges stereotypical conceptions of gendered speaking styles – an invaluable resource."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd AIDS Sex and Culture
Book SynopsisAIDS, Sex, and Culture is a revealing examination of the impact the AIDS epidemic in Africa has had on women, based on the author''s own extensive ethnographic research. based on the author''s own story growing up in South Africa looks at the impact of social conservatism in the US on AIDS prevention programs discussion of the experiences of women in areas ranging from Durban in KwaZulu Natal to rural settlements in Namibia and Botswana includes a chapter written by Sibongile Mkhize at the University of KwaZulu Natal who tells the story of her own family's struggle with AIDS Trade Review"AIDS, Sex, and Culture will make an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate courses in global health needing to enhance the quality of existing curricula. The many clinicians who have essential expertise to contribute to building health infrastructure but who do not have time to study the extensive social science literature on the less developed world will welcome this easy read." (JAMA, July 2010) "AIDS activists and policy makers will be both impressed and ultimately heartened." (CHOICE, January 2010)"A brilliant analysis of sadness, deprivation and hope. A must-read for anyone interested in the social fabric of contemporary South Africa, for anyone committed to gender justice around AIDS." Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley "AIDS, Sex, and Culture greatly deepens our understanding of the politics of HIV/AIDS in South Africa. Susser's rich ethnography shows how local activism and women's desire for autonomy profoundly affect international, national, and scientific enterprises." Emily Martin, New York University "Ida Susser´s book is an exemplary demonstration of the social value of great scholarly research. It shows how patriarchal culture provides the ground for the formation of destructive networks of poverty, sex, and aids. Based on Susser´s cross-cultural ethnographic work it is a master piece of intellectually innovative, socially relevant research. It will be a key reference for social scientists aiming to understand the world in order to overcome our current misery. It should be mandatory reading for students, academics, and policy makers around the world." Manuel Castells, University of California, Berkeley An insightful, comprehensive, provocative personal and anthropological perspective across two decades on how the construction of gender has shaped responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in women in southern Africa and globally. A must read for anyone interested in understanding and making a meaningful difference to the evolving HIV epidemic in women globally and in southern Africa. Quarraisha Abdool Karim, Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa Ida Susser offers a powerful statement of the forces that have shaped the epidemiology of AIDS in Africa. This visceral but unsentimental account places women's sexuality and reproductive autonomy -- as well as their unsubmissive assertion of rights to knowledge, health care, and bodily integrity --at the vortex of South Africa's transformations and is symptomatic of how gender inequities shape the face of AIDS in the world today.
