University of California Press The Struggle to Be Gayin Mexico for Example
Book SynopsisBeing gay is not a given. Through a rigorous ethnographic inquiry into the material foundations of sexual identity, The Struggle to Be Gay makes a compelling argument for the centrality of social class in gay lifein Mexico, for example, and by extension in other places as well. Known for his writings on the construction of sexual identities, anthropologist and cultural studies scholar Roger N. Lancaster ponders four decades of visits to Mexican cities. In a brisk series of reflections combining storytelling, ethnography, critique, and razor-edged polemic, he shows, first, how economic inequality affects sexual subjects and subjectivities in ways both obvious and subtle, and, second, how what it means to be de ambienteon the scene or in the lifehas metamorphosed under changing political-economic conditions. The result is a groundbreaking intervention into ongoing debates over identity politicsand a renewal of our understanding of how identities are constructed, struggled for, and lived.Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgments Introduction: When the Music Stops PART I.

University of California Press Women Faith and Family
Book SynopsisWomen, Faith, and Family takes an insider look at the practices adopted by the Women's Islamic Coalition, an assembly of Iranian women who embrace their faith as a principal component of their pursuit of gender justice. By using the Coalition's activism as a lens through which to view women's legal status, Samaneh Oladi examines complex questions about the extent of female agency, showing how Muslim women's access to religious resources and use of hermeneutics strengthens their position in gender negotiations. Female religious activists not only struggle against gender hierarchy and conventional paradigms but also cultivate a unique women's jurisprudence that challenges both Western liberalism and religious orthodoxy. Oladi provides a nuanced portrait of Iranian women's activism and their attempts to reform their legal status, challenging deep-rooted assumptions in secular feminism that there is an intrinsic discord between women's agency and their religion.
