Tapir Academic Press Technologies of Inclusion: Gender in the
Book SynopsisThe Information Society is an evolving project, with new ''ensembles'' of social practices and of information and communication technologies (ICTs) emerging all the time. But not everyone is equally included in this project. Breaking new ground with its focus on inclusion, and drawing on an extensive body of European research, Technologies of Inclusion: Gender in the Information Society analyses a range of strategies which succeeded in attracting more women and girls as users or designers of ICTs. This reveals a set of underlying dynamics -- what the authors call technologies of inclusion -- by which different strategies work. It also highlights new gender-ICT ensembles which challenge long-held notions of technology as a masculine domain. This book is a must, for scholars interested in shifting gender-technology relations and for practitioners interested in effective digital inclusion. Indeed, for anyone interested in the evolving project of the Information Society.

University Press of Southern Denmark Through Random Doors We Wandered: Women Writing
Book SynopsisThis book brings together a group of women interested in, even consumed by, the region they inhabit physically or mentally. They know that the South makes for good stories, but wish to complicate traditional southern narratives with stories of their own. All of them search for a language that will accurately represent their life experiences, whether at a remote plantation in antebellum Georgia or in the back wards of an Alabama institution for the criminally insane. The self-narratives in this volume propel themselves and their authors to the centre of critical debates concerning the status of the subject, the nature of self-representation, the globalisation of the regional, cultural hybridities, and the negotiations and compromises required for co-existence. Read through theoretical lenses, their texts map new representational spaces, alternative (textual) bodies, and reinventions of categories such as: region; race; and woman.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit
Book Synopsis“Poignant . . . deeply personal . . . an indelible history of the largely forgotten Jews of Egypt . . . ”Miami Herald In vivid and graceful prose, Lucette Lagnado re-creates the majesty and cosmopolitan glamour of Cairo in the years before Gamal Abdel Nasser's rise to power. With Nasser's nationalization of Egyptian industry, her father, Leon, a boulevardier who conducted business in his white sharkskin suit, loses everything, and departs with the family for any land that will take them. The poverty and hardships they encounter in their flight from Cairo to Paris to New York are strikingly juxtaposed against the beauty and comforts of the lives they left behind. An inversion of the American dream set against the stunning portraits of three world cities, Lucette Lagnado's memoir offers a grand and sweeping story of faith, tradition, tragedy, and triumph. Trade Review"Beautifully written... A great personalized telling of Egypt's complicated history in the last half of the 20th century." -- Fareed Zakaria "Like Andre Aciman...she conjures a vanished world with elegiac ardor and uncommon grace." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times "[A] crushing, brilliant book...one final kiss from the Lagnados to their beloved city." -- New York Times Book Review "This memoir of an Egyptian Jewish family's gradual ruin is told without melodrama by its youngest survivor." -- The New Yorker "The resilient dignity of Lucette's family transcends the fiercest of obstacles." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Lagnado gets to the heart of the modern exodus in a way only those who lived it can." -- Miami Sun Post "Captivating...illuminates its places and times, providing indelible individual portraits...An exceptional memoir." -- Booklist (starred review) "Excellent new memoir... One could praise Ms. Lagnado's book for many things." -- New York Sun "Full of emotion and longing, yet never sentimental, this lyrical memoir evokes a cosmopolitan Cairo." -- Jewish Woman "Lagnado spares nothing in the retelling...in this tender and captivating memoir." -- The Oregonian (Portland) "It succeeds especially as a... heartfelt elegy to the long-lost Cairo community of her youth." -- Library Journal "Nostalgic but objectively tempered portrait of a family at the heart of social and cultural upheaval." -- Kirkus Reviews "Beautifully written ... rich with history and insight. Wonderful." -- Oscar Hijuelos, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE MAMBO KINGS PLAY SONGS OF LOVE "A stunning achievement." -- Andre Aciman, author of OUT OF EGYPT and CALL ME BY YOUR NAME "A subtle and eloquent description of fatherly love and a mesmerizing portrait of a man shattered by the immigration experience." -- Marianne Pearl, author of A MIGHTY HEART "Lagnado's richly textured memoir is a loving tribute to a lost man and a lost culture." -- Reform Judaism

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Hating Women
Book SynopsisFrom the author of the internationally bestselling Kosher Sex. A wake-up call about the growing trend of misogyny in our culture-as evidenced by the flood of reality TV shows, ads, and lyrics that portray women as brainless bimbos, or worse Shmuley Boteach, the social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, shares his grave concerns about our society''s growing contempt for women. Turn on the television: Reality TV shows such as The Bachelor, For Love or Money, and Average Joe boost their ratings by showing attractive women in competition for one man, one man''s money, or both. On a quest for true love, these women quickly devolve into a pit of vipers-and millions of Americans tune in each week for more. During commercial breaks, women are objectified to sell beer, cars, and every other product under the sun. Flip on the radio: Women are bitches, hos, and gold diggers, at least if you listen to the rap lyrics pumping out into our mass consciousness. And female pop stars like Britney and Madonna, says Boteach, have pushed the envelope past provocative and into the downright pornographic. ''Tween girls across the country follow their lead, and standards for how women should be treated plummet.Perhaps one of the most troubling aspects of this trend, he says, is women''s complicity in their own degradation. Either they''ve become resigned to base stereotypes, or worse, they''ve bought into these mass market values (hence the deluge of shows like The Swan and Extreme Makeover, on which female contestants insist they need a new nose, teeth, or boobs to feel a positive sense of self-esteem). There are strong consequences, writes Boteach, in a world where men have no respect for women and women have no respect for themselves. Greedy gold diggers, brainless bimbos, publicity prostitutes, and backstabbing bitches-are these the stereotypes we want our sons and daughters bombarded by as they grow up? Hating Women offers a vision of how we can correct this downward spiral-along with a strong argument for why we absolutely must.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Miss Anne in Harlem
Book SynopsisCelebrated scholar Carla Kaplan’s cultural biography, Miss Anne in Harlem: The White Women of the Black Renaissance, focuses on white women, collectively called “Miss Anne,” who became Harlem Renaissance insiders. The 1920s in New York City was a time of freedom, experimentation, and passion—with Harlem at the epicenter. White men could go uptown to see jazz and modern dance, but women who embraced black culture too enthusiastically could be ostracized. Miss Anne in Harlem focuses on six of the unconventional, free-thinking women, some from Manhattan high society, many Jewish, who crossed race lines and defied social conventions to become a part of the culture and heartbeat of Harlem. Ethnic and gender studies professor Carla Kaplan brings the interracial history of the Harlem Renaissance to life with vivid prose, extensive research, and period photographs.

They have also achieved equality with men in more troubling areas as well. In the U.S. alone, the rates of alcohol abuse among women have skyrocketed in the past decade. DUIs, “drunkorexia” (choosing to limit eating to consume greater quantities of alcohol), and health problems connected to drinking are all rising—a problem exacerbated by the alcohol industry itself.Battling for women’s dollars and leisure time, corporations have developed marketing strategies and products targeted ex

HarperCollins Publishers Inc My Glory Was I Had Such Friends
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Remarkable…My Glory Was I Had Such Friends is about the power of showing up for those you love, no matter the odds, no matter the distance.” — CBS Sunday Morning “There’s a special air around crisis that makes true intimacy possible in ways that daily life rarely does. Amy Silverstein has tapped into that moment with a cast of women who will make you pine for your nearest and dearest.” — Kelly Corrigan, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Middle Place and Glitter and Glue “An intimate celebration of the power of compassion.” — Kirkus Reviews “Skillful…A brave, transparent look at the harrowing battle of a heart-transplant patient who, through the support of her friends, conquers unthinkable odds.” — Booklist “In this inspirational memoir of sickness and health, Silverstein pays tribute to the many women who put their lives on hold when she needed them most.” — Real Simple “My Glory Was I Had Such Friends is, at its core, a book about friendship. Silverstein spares no words honestly describing the endless emotions she felt when friends from work, childhood and her community walked alongside her as she waited for a heart…As different as these friends were, they all had common goals that brought them together: a love for Amy and a desperate desire for her to get a new heart. As a result, friendships deepened in courage and perseverance, and a new understanding was born for what it means to say, ‘I’m there’—and truly mean it.” — Associated Press “An inspiring, heart-warming memoir...Amazing...You can wait for the movie or grab some hankies and start crying now.” — Huffington Post “Read, be inspired, and then go call up your BFFs to tell ‘em how much you love them.” — Women’s Health “Three hearts and two transplants later, Silverstein is all the proof you need that amazing things can happen when you show up for a friend.” — Jason Duaine Hahn, People Magazine
