Sexing Empire
An issue of Radical History Review (#123)
Ben Cowan, Nicole M. Guidotti-Hernández,
and Jason Ruiz, special issue editors
On beaches and online, and in boardrooms, temples, and taverns,
sexual practices have always influenced imperial power relations.
In the many places where colonialism still affects economics, sex
and sexuality remain a driving force. The contributors to this
issue contemplate empire as a global process involving sexualized
subjects and objects, with essays that consider the history of sex
and empire across several disciplines.

1970s Feminism
An issue of SAQ: South Atlantic Quarterly (114:4)
Lisa Disch, special issue editor
For more than a decade, feminist historians and historiographers
have challenged the “third wave” portrait of 1970s feminism
as essentialist, white, middle-class, uninterested in racism, and
theoretically naive. They have sought to set the record straight
about women’s liberation by interrogating how that image took
hold in the public imagination and among academic feminists.
This issue invites feminist theorists to return to women’s
liberation—to the texts, genres, and cultural productions to
which the movement gave rise—for a more nuanced look at its
conceptual and political consequences.
