Book SynopsisWhen it comes to the topic of romantic and sexual intimacy, social observers are often quick to throw criticisms at millennials. However, we know little about millennials’ own hopes, fears, struggles, and triumphs in their relationships from the perspectives of millennials themselves. Intimate Inequalities uses millennials’ own stories to explore how they navigate gender, race, social class, sexuality, and age identities and expectations in their relationships. Situating millennials’ lives within contemporary social and cultural conditions in the United States, Intimate Inequalities takes an intersectional approach to examining how millennials challenge—or rather, uphold—social inequalities in their lives as they come into their own as full adults. Intimate Inequalities provides an in-depth look into the intimate lives of one group of millennials living in the United States, demystifying what actually goes on behind closed doors, and arguing that millennials’ private lives can reveal much about their ability to navigate inequalities in their lives more broadly. Trade Review“Dalessandro gives us a rich glimpse into the stories Millennials tell about themselves, their intimate partners and the world as they navigate an emerging adulthood of economic precarity and social stagnation. This powerful generational portrait will surprise and move you.”— Jennifer Lundquist, author of The Dating Divide: Race and Desire in the Era of Online Romance "Intimate Inequalities provides a fascinating view into the romantic and sexual lives of sixty Millennials.

Book SynopsisDas Phänomen Transidentität oder Transsexualismus begegnet uns heutzutage an vielen Orten. Transidente Menschen treten auch in Talkshows und Doku-Sendungen auf, wo sie über ihr Leben berichten in einer im Vergleich zu früheren Zeiten zwar toleranteren, aber noch längst nicht wirklich akzeptierenden Gesellschaft. Udo Rauchfleisch skizziert den Weg vom Pathologiekonzept "Transsexualismus" zur "Genderdysphorie" bis hin zur "Geschlechtsinkongruenz" und dem nichtpathologischen Begriff der "Transidentität". Er fordert die absolute Selbstentscheidung der Transidenten über die von ihnen gewünschten Schritte in ihrer sogenannten Transition. Eine professionelle Begleitung Transidenter hat meist den Charakter eines transaffirmativen Coachings. Neben Transmenschen selbst und ihren Angehörigen richtet sich das Buch vor allem an Fachleute der verschiedenen Disziplinen, die an der Begleitung und Therapie von Transidenten beteiligt sind.

Book SynopsisIn den letzten Jahrzehnten sind Frauen sukzessive in vormals rein männerdominierte Berufsbereiche eingetreten. Eine solche Männerdomäne stellt auch das Feuerwehrwesen dar: Während Freiwillige Feuerwehren zum Teil regen Zulauf von Frauen und Mädchen verzeichnen, sind höhere Funktionen und berufliche Positionen im Feuerwehrwesen noch weitgehend männlich besetzt. Ilona Horwath untersucht die Gründe dafür und analysiert die Entwicklung von Gleichstellungsprozessen auf internationaler, nationaler und regionaler Ebene. Die Autorin präsentiert Ergebnisse einer regionalen Fallstudie, die mit qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden nachzeichnet, wie es zur Vergeschlechtlichung dieser Organisationen kommt. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen der ehrenamtlichen wie professionellen Feuerwehrleute. Welche Geschlechterorientierungen dominieren im Feuerwehrwesen und inwiefern fördern oder behindern diese eine gleichstellungsorientierte Integration von Frauen und Mädchen?

Book SynopsisSexualfreundliche Sexualerziehung soll und muss sein, aber wem nützt eine pro-aktiv sexualisierende Sexualerziehung und warum löst sie Widerstand aus? Ist die aktuell diskutierte Sexualpädagogik mit ihren Zielen und Methoden kindgerecht oder bedient sie Interessen von Erwachsenen? Diese Streitschrift bietet Interessierten und an Erziehung Beteiligten Informationen und Analysen, sowie persönliche Einschätzungen der Autorin, die nachdenklich machen. Das Buch reflektiert alternative Herangehensweisen an das Thema Sexualität in Kita und Schule und erklärt, warum sich religiös begründete und „moderne“ sexual-pädagogische Konzepte ähneln. Die Autorin nimmt die Leser mit in die Fragestellung und Besorgnis, ob die derzeit propagierte Sexualerziehung darauf hinausläuft, Kinder mit pädagogischer Legitimation in die sexualisierte Erwachsenenwelt hineinzuziehen. Es öffnet die Augen für die Thematik und gibt Hinweise wie Kinder und Jugendliche motiviert werden können, sich vor dem Einfluss von Pornografie zu schützen.

Book SynopsisBreaching the Citadel, part of the Sexual Violence and Impunity in South Asia series, supported by the International Development Research Centre, Canada, puts India in focus, showcasing new and pathbreaking research on sexual violence and impunity. Bringing together both young and established scholars, the book explores medical protocols, the functioning of the law, the psychosocial making of impunity, histories of sexual violence in places like Kashmir, the media, and sectarian violence, among other timely topics. The essays Urvashi Butalia has collected here were developed through comparative research and a series of workshops, so each entry is peer-reviewed and on the cutting edge of the field. Breaching the Citadel breaks new ground as it uncovers and analyzes the link between sexual violence and the structures and institutions that enable perpetrators to act with impunity.
