GENDER 

GENDER 

Books for Courses 

2nd Edition 

Gender and Development 

Janet Momsen, University of California, Davis, USA 

Series: Routledge Perspectives on Development 

This updated second edition provides a concise, accessible introduction to Gender and 

Development issues in the developing world and in the transition countries of Eastern and 

Central Europe. The nine chapters include discussions on changes in theoretical approaches, 

gender complexities and the Millennium Development Goals; social and biological reproduction 

including differing attitudes to family planning by states and variation in education and access 

to housing; differences in health and violence at major life stages for women and men and 

natural disasters and gender roles in rural and urban areas. The penultimate chapter considers 

the impact of broad economic changes such as the globalization of trade and communications 

on gender differences in economic activity and the final chapter addresses international 

progress towards gender equality as measured by the global gender gap. The text is particularly 

strong on environmental aspects and the new edition builds on this to consider the effects of 

climate change and declining natural resources illustrated by a case study of changing gender 

roles in fishing in India. There is also enhanced coverage of topics such as global trade, sport as 

a development tool, masculinities, and sustainable agriculture. Maps, statistics, references and boxed case studies have 

been updated throughout and their coverage widened.

TRANSFORMING 

SCHOLARSHIP 

WHY WOMEN’S AND GENDER 

STUDIES STUDENTS ARE CHANGING 

THEMSELVES AND THE WORLD 

Michele Tracy Berger, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA 

and Cheryl Radeloff, College of Southern Nevada, USA 

Series: Contemporary Sociological Perspectives 

Transforming Scholarship is a user-friendly work of practical guidance and inspiration for 

supporting a student’s interest in a Women’s Studies degree. It focuses on three of the 

major barriers students face when exploring Women’s Studies: a lack of awareness that 

Women’s Studies constitutes an academic field; the negative response a student often 

faces when announcing to the world that he or she is interested in Women’s Studies; 

and the perceived lack of employment and career options that supposedly comes with 

graduating with a Women’s Studies degree. This book will support students to think 

critically about what they know, how to demonstrate what they know, and how to 

prepare for life both personally and professionally after the degree. 

Selected Contents: Introduction: Transform Yourself: An Invitation to Explore Your Interest in Women’s 

and Gender Studies Section One: You’ve Discovered Women’s And Gender Studies and Want

Section Two: You’ve Committed To Learning in Women’s And Gender Studies: Great! Now 

What? 3. How You Can Talk About Women’s and Gender Studies Anytime, Anywhere and to Anyone 

4. Discovering and Claiming Your Internal Strengths and External Skills Section Three: You’re 

Graduating: Great! Now What? 5. Women’s and Gender Studies Graduates as Change Agents:

Disposable Women and Other 

Myths of Global Capitalism 

Melissa Wright 

Series: Perspectives on Gender 

This book explains how young 

women workers around the 

world eventually turn into living 

forms of waste. Disposable 

Women and Other Myths of 

Global Capitalism follows this 

myth inside the global factories 

and surrounding cities in 

northern Mexico and in 

southern China, illustrating 

the crucial role the tale plays 

in maintaining not just the 

constant flow of global capital, 

but the present regime of transnational capitalism.

Language, Gender 

and Feminism 

Theory, Methodology and Practice 

Sara Mills, Sheffield Hallam University, UK and 

Louise Mullany, University of Nottingham, UK 

”An excellent book at just 

the right time! The authors 

remind us of the feminist 

roots of language and 

gender studies and argue 

for the importance of 

investigating the role that 

language plays in creating 

and sustaining unequal 

gender relations. This book 

should be on every linguist’s 

bookshelf.” 

– Jennifer Coates, Emeritus Professor, Roehampton 

University, UK 

Language, Gender and Feminism is an invaluable text 

for students new to the discipline of Language and 

Gender studies within English Language, Linguistics, 

Communication Studies and Women’s Studies, as well 

as being an up-to-date resource for more established 

researchers and scholars. 

Sara Mills and Louise Mullany cover a wide range of 

contemporary feminist theories and emphasize the 

importance of an interdisciplinary approach. Topics 

covered include: power, language and sexuality, sexism 

and an exploration of the difference between second 

and third wave feminist analysis. 

Each chapter presents examples from research 

conducted in different cultural and linguistic contexts 

which allows students to observe practical applications 

of all current theories and approaches. Throughout oral 

and written language data, from a wealth of different 

contexts, settings and sources, is thoroughly analyzed. 

The book concludes with a discussion of how the field 

could advance and a overview of the various research 

methods, pertinent for future work in language and 

gender study.

Gender Circuits 

Bodies and Identities in a Technological Age 

Eve Shapiro, University of Connecticut, USA 


”In this highly accessible 

and provocative text, Eve 

Shapiro explores the 

relationship between our 

embodied, gendered selves 

and a range of technologies 

– from cosmetic surgery to 

cell phones, from online 

gaming to tattooing. Gender 

Circuits will be invaluable to 

any classroom committed to 

exploring gender and 

technology as vantage 

points on a range of social inequalities and 

identities.” – Jessica Fields, Sociology, San Francisco 

State University, USA 

Gender Circuits explores the impact of new technologies 

on the gendered lives of individuals through substantive 

sociological analysis and in-depth case studies. Examining 

the complex intersections between gender ideologies, 

social scripts, information and biomedical technologies, 

and embodied identities, this book explores whether and 

how new technologies are reshaping what it means to be 

a gendered person in contemporary society.

NEW IN 2012 

Concrete, Exile and Dust 

A Hollywood Collage 

Jeanine Marie Minge, California State University, 

Northridge, USA 

Concrete, Exile, and Dust focuses on the performative 

nature of sexualized identity in Hollywood, the people 

that live in its underbelly and surrounding valleys, the 

sexual geographies of the place, and the ways in which 

sexual agency is mapped on the body and in 

consciousness. The cultural turn in ethnography has 

expanded the scope of ethnographic research methods, 

which now include innovative techniques that recognize 

and value sensuous scholarship (ethnographic texts that 

incorporate visual, aural, and sensory texts). Hollywood 

has often been a focus in critical cultural theory; absent 

from the field is a holistic methodological perspective 

that collages visual image, arts-based ethnographic and 

autoethnographic narratives, experimental sound, 

poetry, and performative writing, in order to juxtapose 

the conflicting and complex performative nature of 

Hollywood, celebrity, glamour, and sexual agency.

Gender and Judging 

Sally J. Kenney, Tulane University, USA 


Intended for use in courses on law and society, as well 

as courses in women’s and gender studies, women and 

politics, and women and the law – here is a book that 

explores different questions in different North American 

and European geographical jurisdictions and courts, 

demonstrating the value of a gender analysis of courts, 

judges, law, institutions, organizations, and, ultimately, 

politics. The various chapters, taken together, argue 

empirically for both more women and more feminists 

on the bench, and that these are two independent 

worthwhile projects.

Women’s Movements in Asia 

Feminisms and Transnational Activism 

Edited by Mina Roces, University of New South 

Wales, Australia and Louise Edwards, University 

of Hong Kong 

Women’s Movements in Asia is 

a comprehensive study of 

women’s activism across Asia. 

With chapters written by 

leading international experts, it 

provides a full overview of the 

history of feminism, as well as 

the current context of the 

women’s movement in 12 

countries: the Philippines, 

China, Indonesia, Japan, Burma, 

Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, 

Thailand, Cambodia, Hong 

Kong, Korea, India and Pakistan. 

For each of these countries the manner in which feminism 

changes according to cultural, political, economic and 

religious factors is explored. The contributors investigate 

how national feminisms are influenced by transnational 

factors, such as the women’s movements in other 

countries, colonialism and international agencies. Each 

chapter also considers what Asian feminists have 

contributed to global theoretical debates on the woman 

question, the key successes and failures of the movements 

and what needs to be addressed in the future. 

This breadth of coverage, together with suggestions 

for further reading and watching, and an integrated 

cross-national timeline makes Women’s Movements in Asia 

ideal for use on courses looking at women and feminism in 

Asia. It will appeal both to students and specialists in the 

fields of gender, women’s and Asian studies.

GENDER 

CHOICE OUTSTANDING 

ACADEMIC TITLE 2009! 

Gender Pluralism 

Southeast Asia Since Early Modern Times 

Michael G. Peletz, Emory University, USA 

This book examines three big 

ideas: difference, legitimacy, 

and pluralism. Of chief concern 

is how people construe and 

deal with variation among 

fellow human beings. Why 

under certain circumstances do 

people embrace even sanctify 

differences, or at least 

begrudgingly tolerate them, 

and why in other contexts are 

people less receptive to 

difference, sometimes overtly 

hostile to it and bent on its eradication? What are the 

cultural and political conditions conducive to the positive 

valorization and acceptance of difference? And, 

conversely, what conditions undermine or erode such 

positive views and acceptance? This book examines 

pluralism in gendered fields and domains in Southeast 

Asia since the early modern era, which historians and 

anthropologists of the region commonly define as the 

period extending roughly from the fifteenth to the 

eighteenth centuries.

Global Gender Research 

Transnational Perspectives 

Edited by Christine Bose, SUNY at Albany, USA and 

Minjeong Kim, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and 

State University, USA 


”Global Gender Research 

offers an extraordinary and 

wide-ranging collection of 

feminist sociological 

inquiries around the world. 

A great choice for 

undergraduate classrooms 

and a useful reference for 

any feminist academic.” 

– Rhacel Parreñas, 

American Civilization, 

Brown University, USA 

Readers of Global Gender Research will learn to compare 

and contrast feminist concerns globally, gain familiarity 

with the breadth of gender research, and understand 

the national contexts that produced it. 

This volume provides an in-depth comparative picture 

of the current state of feminist sociological gender and 

women’s studies research in four regions of the world – 

Africa, Asia, Latin America/the Caribbean, and Europe 

– as represented by many countries. The introductory 

essay to each region explains how social science research 

on women and/or gender issues has been shaped by 

economics, politics, and culture, and by trends that are 

simultaneously local, regional, and global. It familiarizes 

readers with the wide range of salient issues, research 

methods, writing styles, and leading authors from 

around the globe.

Making Transnational Feminism 

Rural Women, NGO Activists, 

and Northern Donors in Brazil 

Millie Thayer, University of Massachussets, 

Amherst, USA 


”...this is a rich, interesting 

and well-crafted study. 

It is extremely readable, 

accessible to students, and 

a critical resource for for 

scholars of Latin American 

social movements, 

transnational feminisms, 

global civil society, and the 

transnational networks of 

non-governmental 

organizations. It will be of 

interest to students across 

the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, politics, 

geography and women’s studies.” 

– The Canadian Journal of Sociology, Vol. 35, No. 2, 2010 

This ethnographic study examines the transnational 

relations among feminist movements at the end of the 

twentieth century, exploring two differently situated 

women’s organizations in the Northeast Brazilian state 

of Pernambuco. 

Making Transnational Feminism takes what some have 

called ’global civil society’ as its object, moving beyond 

both dire predictions and euphoric celebrations to 

understand how transnational political relationships are 

constructed and sustained across social and geographical 

divides. It also provides a compelling case study for use 

in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in 

globalization, gender studies, and social movements.

Gender and Everyday Life 

Mary Holmes 

Series: The New Sociology 

”Holmes provides an 

excellent overview of 

understanding of gender 

through a sociological lens 

and encourages readers to 

recognize the importance 

of reflecting and critically 

thinking about the impact 

gender has on their lives – 

recommended.” 

– CHOICE, August 2009 

Gender and Everyday Life 

explores gender as a way of 

seeing women and men as not just biological organisms, 

but as people shaped by their everyday social world. 

Examining how gender has been understood and lived in 

the past; and how it is understood and done differently 

by different cultures and groups within cultures; Mary 

Holmes considers the strengths and limitations of 

different ways of thinking and learning to “do” gender. 

Key sociological and feminist ideas about gender are 

covered from Christine Pisan to Mary Wollstonecraft; 

and from symbolic interactionism to second wave 

feminism through to the work of Judith Butler. This book 

will be of great use and interest to students to gender 

studies, sociology and feminist theory.

Making Sense of Race, 

Class, and Gender 

Commonsense, Power, and Privilege 

in the United States 

Celine-Marie Pascale 

Using arresting case studies of 

how ordinary people understand 

the concepts of race, class, and 

gender, Celine-Marie Pascale 

shows that the peculiarity of 

common sense is that it imposes 

obviousness – that which we 

cannot fail to recognize. As a 

result, how we negotiate the 

challenges of inequality in the 

twenty-first century may depend 

less on what people consciously 

think about ”difference” and 

more on what we inadvertently assume. Through an 

analysis of commonsense knowledge, Pascale expertly 

provides new insights into familiar topics. In addition, 

by analyzing local practices in the context of established 

cultural discourses, Pascale shows how the weight of 

history bears on the present moment, both enabling and 

constraining possibilities. Pascale tests the boundaries of 

sociological knowledge and offers new avenues for 

conceptualizing social change.

Gender and Violence 

in the Middle East 

Edited by Moha Ennaji and Fatima Sadiqi, 

both at Fès University, Morocco 

Series: UCLA Center for Middle East Development 

(CMED) 

This book explores the 

relationship between Islamism, 

secularism and violence against 

women in the Middle East and 

North Africa. Drawing on case 

studies from across the region, 

the authors examine the 

historical, cultural, religious, 

social, legal and political factors 

affecting this key issue. 

Chapters by established scholars 

from within and outside the 

region highlight: 

• the interconnections of violence and various sources 

of power in the Middle East: the state, society, and 

the family 

• conceptions of violence as family and social practice 

and dominant discourse 

• the role of violence as pattern for social structuring in 

the nation state. 

By centring the chapters around these key areas, the 

volume provides an innovative theoretical and systematic 

research model for gender and violence in the Middle 

East and North Africa. Dealing with issues that are not 

easily accessible in the West, this book underlines the 

importance of understanding realities and problems 

relevant to Muslim and Arab societies and discusses 

possible ways of promoting reforms in the MENA region. 

As such it will be of great interest to students and 

scholars of gender studies, sociology, political science 

and criminal justice.

GENDER 

Women and Housing 

An International Analysis 

Edited by Patricia Kennett, University of Bristol, UK 

and Kam Wah Chan, Hong Kong Polytechnic 

University, Hong Kong 

Series: Housing and Society 

In the context of contemporary 

economic, political, social and 

cultural transformations, this 

book brings together 

contributions from developed 

and emerging societies in 

Europe, the USA and East Asia 

in order to highlight the nature, 

extent and impact of these 

changes on the housing 

opportunities of women. 

The collection seeks to 

contribute to comparative 

housing debates by highlighting the gendered nature of 

housing processes, locating these processes within wider 

structured and institutionalized relations of power, and 

to show how these socially constructed relationships are 

culturally contingent, and manifest and transform over 

time and space. 

The international contributors draw on a wide range of 

empirical evidence relating to labor market participation, 

wealth distribution, family formation and education to 

demonstrate the complexity and gendered nature of the 

interlocking arenas of production, reproduction and 

consumption and the implications for the housing 

opportunities of women in different social contexts. 

Worldwide examples are drawn from Australia, China, 

Great Britain, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan 

and the USA.

Gender, Development, and 

Environmental Management 

Seema Arora-Jonsson, Swedish University of 

Agricultural Sciences, Sweden 


This book questions the conventional belief that 

development brings about greater gender equality 

and better environmental management. Based on 

participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, 

Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest 

management, the making of women’s groups within 

them and how the women’s groups became a threat 

to mainstream institutions. Engaging seriously with 

academic debates on gender, environment and 

development, this volume contributes to a 

much-needed dialogue among these fields.

Feminist Visions and Queer 

Futures in Postcolonial Drama 

Community, Kinship, and Citizenship 

Kanika Batra, Texas Tech University, USA 

Series: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance 

Studies 

In this timely study, Batra 

examines contemporary drama 

from India, Jamaica, and Nigeria 

in conjunction with feminist and 

incipient queer movements in 

these countries. Postcolonial 

drama, Batra contends, furthers 

the struggle for gender justice in 

both these movements by 

contesting the idea of the 

heterosexual, middle class, 

wage-earning male as the model 

citizen and by suggesting 

alternative conceptions of citizenship premised on 

working-class sexual identities. Further, Batra considers 

the possibility of Indian, Jamaican, and Nigerian drama 

generating a discourse on a rights-bearing conception of 

citizenship that derives from representations of 

non-biological, non-generational forms of kinship. Her 

study is one of the first to examine the ways in which 

postcolonial dramatists are creating the possibility of a 

dialogue between cultural activism, women’s 

movements, and an emerging discourse on queer 

sexualities.

Inclusive Masculinity 

The Changing Nature of Masculinities 

Eric Anderson, University of Winchester, UK 


Drawing on qualitative studies 

of team sport athletes and 

fraternity members, this book 

describes the rapidly changing 

world of masculinities among 

men in both the United States 

and Great Britain. As cultural 

homophobia decreases, 

university-aged men are 

influenced to construct a softer 

version of masculinity – one 

that is not predicated in 

homophobia. Inclusive 

Masculinity shows that today’s youth express decreased 

sexism, racism and masculine bullying. As Eric Anderson 

demonstrates, men who value inclusive masculinities are 

also shown to be more likely to bond in emotional 

relationships with other men and to embrace a variety of 

behaviors once coded as feminine, including certain 

same-sex sexual behaviors. Now available in paperback, 

this groundbreaking analysis of masculinity and young 

men will be of interest to students and faculty members 

within Sociology, Gender Studies, and Sport Studies.

SEX AND 

SEXUALITY 


The Languages of Sexuality 

Jeffrey Weeks, London South Bank University, UK 

The Languages of Sexuality 

offers concise and incisive 

essays on key words and 

concepts which have played a 

significant role in shaping our 

understanding of contemporary 

sexualities and intimacies. 

Nearly a hundred essays 

illuminate the terms related to 

sexuality in fresh, and often 

unexpected ways, with entries 

ranging from ”abjection” and 

”abortion” to ”transgender and 

”Viagra.” Written with clarity, insight and passion by an 

internationally renowned theorist of sexuality, this book 

is not only an invaluable handbook, but also a personal 

exploration of the fluid, shifting, ever evolving meanings 

of sexual life as reflected and refracted through words 

and concepts. 

This book is an invaluable resource for both students 

and researchers with interests relating to sexuality and 

intimate life, gender studies, cultural studies, history 

and sociology. It will also appeal to a wider audience 

interested in critical debates about the nature and 

meanings of contemporary sexualities.

2ND EDITION 

Introducing the 

NEW SEXUALITY STUDIES 

Edited by Steven Seidman, State University of New York at Albany, USA, 

Nancy Fischer, Augsburg College, USA and Chet Meeks 

Breaking new ground, both substantively and stylistically, Introducing the New Sexuality Studies, 

Second Edition offers students and academics an engaging, thought-provoking introduction and 

overview of the social study of sexualities. Its central premise is to explore the social construction of 

sexuality, the role of social differences such as race or nationality in creating sexual variation, and the 

ways sex is entangled in relations of power and inequality. Through this approach the field of sexuality 

is considered in multicultural, global, and comparative terms, and from a truly social perspective. 

The second edition of this definitive textbook consists of over seventy-five short, original essays on the 

key topics and themes in sexuality studies. It also includes interviews with fourteen leading scholars in 

the field, which convey some of the most innovative work currently being undertaken. Each 

contribution is original, presenting the latest thinking and research in clear and accessible terms, using 

engaging examples to illustrate key points. 

This topical and timely volume will be an invaluable resource to all those with an interest in sexuality 

studies, gender studies and LGBTQ studies. 

3rd Edition 

Sexuality 

Jeffrey Weeks, London South Bank University, UK 

Series: Key Ideas 

For over twenty years, Sexuality 

has provided a cutting edge 

introduction to debates about 

sexualities, gender, and 

intimate life. 

Jeffrey Weeks offers a thorough 

update of these debates, and 

introduces new concepts and 

issues. Globalization is now a 

key way of understanding the 

reshaping of sexual life, and is 

discussed in relation to global 

flows, neo-liberalism, new forms 

of opposition, cosmopolitanism and the heated debates 

around sex trafficking and sex tourism. Arguments about 

the regulation and control of sexuality, and the 

intersection of various dimensions of power and 

domination are contextualized by a sustained argument 

about the importance of agency in remaking sexual and 

intimate life. In particular, new forms of Lesbian, Gay, 

Bisexual, Transgender and Queer politics, and the high 

impact of the debates about same-sex marriage are 

explored. These controversies, in turn, feed into debates 

about what is ”transgressive,” ”normal,” ”ordinary;” 

into the nature of heter-normativity; and into the 

meanings of diversity and choice. To conclude, the book 

turns to questions of values and ethics, recognition, 

sexual citizenship and human sexual rights.

Sex For Sale 

Prostitution, Pornography, 

and the Sex Industry 

Edited by Ronald Weitzer, George Washington 

University, USA 

This groundbreaking collection 

of essays on the sex industry 

contains original studies on sex 

work, its risks and benefits, and 

its political implications. Sex for 

Sale covers areas not commonly 

researched, including gay and 

lesbian pornography, telephone 

sex workers, customers of 

prostitutes, male and female 

escorts who work 

independently, street 

prostitution, sex tourism, legal 

prostitution, and strip clubs that cater to women. 

Sex for Sale also tracks various trends during the past 

decade, including the mainstreaming and growing 

acceptance of some types of sexual commerce and the 

growing criminalization of other types, such as sex 

trafficking. Sex for Sale offers a window into the lived 

experiences of sex workers as well as an analysis of the 

larger gender arrangements and political structures that 

shape the experiences of workers and their clients. 

This book contributes greatly to a growing research 

literature that documents the rich variation, nuances, 

and complexities in the exchange of sexual services, 

performances, and products.

Barbara G. Brents, Crystal A. Jackson and 

Kathryn Hausbeck, all at University of Nevada, 

Las Vegas, USA 


The State of Sex is a study of 

Nevada’s brothels that situates 

the nation’s only legal brothel 

industry in the political 

economy of contemporary 

tourism. Nevada is part of the 

”new American heartland,” as 

its pastimes, people, and politics 

have become more central to 

the nation. The rise of a service 

and leisure economy over the 

past sixty years has propelled 

sexuality into the heart of 

contemporary markets. Yet, neoliberal laws in the United 

States promote business but limit sexual commerce. 

How have Nevada’s legal brothels survived, while the rest 

of the country criminalizes prostitution? How do brothels 

operate? Who works in them? This book brings social 

theory on globalizing economies, politics, leisure 

consumption, and emotional labor in interactive service 

work together with research on contemporary 

prostitution and sexual commerce. The authors employ 

an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, 

combining historical analysis of how the brothels came 

to be with over a decade’s worth of ethnographic 

research on the current state of the industry.

Regulating Sexuality 

Legal Consciousness in Lesbian and Gay Lives 

Rosie Harding, University of Keele, UK 

Series: Social Justice 

Regulating Sexuality: Legal 

Consciousness in Lesbian and 

Gay Lives explores the impact 

that recent seismic shifts in the 

legal landscape have had for 

lesbians and gay men. 

Drawing on – as well as 

developing – the concept 

of ”legal consciousness,” 

Regulating Sexuality focuses 

on four different ‘texts’: 

qualitative responses to a 

large-scale online survey of 

lesbians’ and gay men’s views about the legal recognition 

of same sex relationships; published auto/biographical 

narratives about being and becoming a lesbian or gay 

parent; semi-structured, in-depth, interviews with lesbians 

and gay men about relationship recognition, parenting, 

discrimination and equality; and fictional utopian texts. In 

this study of the interaction between law and society in 

social justice movements, Rosie Harding interweaves 

insights from the new legal pluralism with legal 

consciousness studies to present a rich and nuanced 

exploration of the contemporary regulation of sexuality.

Plymouth, UK 

Gender, Sexualities and Law 

provides a comprehensive 

interrogation of the range of 

contemporary issues – both 

topical and controversial – 

raised by the gendered 

character of law, legal discourse 

and institutions. The gendering 

of law, persons and the legal 

profession, along with the 

gender bias of legal outcomes, 

has been a fractious, but fertile, 

focus of reflection. This 

collection of essays offers an unrivalled examination of 

its various contemporary dimensions, focusing on: issues 

of theory and representation; violence, both national 

and international; reproduction and parenting; and 

partnership, sexuality, marriage and the family. Gender, 

Sexualities and Law will be invaluable for all those 

engaged in research and study of the law (and related 

fields) as a form of gendered power.

Muslim Women and Sport 

Edited by Tansin Benn, University of Birmingham, 

UK, Gertrud Pfister, University of Copenhagen, 

Denmark and Haifaa Jawad, University of 

Birmingham, UK 

Series: Routledge Studies in Physical Education 

and Youth Sport 

The book presents an overview of current research 

into constructs of gender, the role of religion and the 

importance of situation, and looks closely at what 

Islam has to say about women’s participation in sport 

and what Muslim women have to say about their 

participation in sport. It highlights the challenges and 

opportunities for women in sport in both Muslim and 

non-Muslim countries, utilizing a series of extensive 

case-studies in various countries which invite the readers 

to conduct cross-cultural comparisons. Material on Iraq, 

Palestine and Bosnia and Herzegovina provides rare 

insights into the impact of war on sporting activities 

for women. The book also seeks to make important 

recommendations for improving access to sport for 

girls and women from Muslim communities. 

Muslim Women and Sport confronts many deeply 

held stereotypes and crosses those commonly quoted 

boundaries between “Islam and the West” and between 

“East and West”. It makes fascinating reading for 

anyone with an interest in the interrelationships between 

sport, religion, gender, culture and policy.

Family Problems 

American ‘Family Values’ and the 

Contested Definition of Families 

Naomi Gerstel, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, 

USA and Natasha Sarkisian, Boston College, USA 

Series: Framing 21st Century Social Issues 

Family Problems shows how the current emphasis on the 

nuclear family – with its exclusion of the extended family – 

is narrow, even deleterious, and misses much of family life. 

This omission is tied to gender, race, and class. 

Chapter one discusses how, when promoting “family 

values” and talking about ”family as the basic unit of 

American society, social commentators, politicians, and 

social scientists alike typically ignore extended kin ties. 

Chapters two and three show that the focus on marriage 

and the nuclear family is a narrow view that ignores the 

familial practices and experiences of many Americans. 

Chapter four focuses on class and economic inequality 

and explores how an emphasis on the nuclear family may 

actually promulgate a vision of family life that dismisses 

the very social resources and community ties that are 

critical to the survival strategies of those in need. In 

chapter five, the authors argue that marriage actually 

detracts from social integration and ties to broader 

communities. Finally, in chapter six, the authors suggest 

that the focus on marriage and the nuclear family and the 

inattention to the extended family distort and reduce the 

power of social policy in the United States.

Examining mothers of newly

within the context of new

establish a social environment

Outsourcing the Womb 

Race, Class and Gestational Surrogacy 

in a Global Market 

France Winddance Twine, University of California, 

Santa Barbara, USA 

Outsourcing the Womb 

provides a critical introduction 

to the global surrogacy market. 

A comparative analysis of the 

assisted reproductive 

technology and surrogacy 

industry in Egypt, Israel, India 

and the United States 

disentangles the intersecting 

roles of race, religion, class 

inequality, religious law, and 

global capitalism. Gestational 

surrogacy challenges the idea of ”natural” reproduction 

and of the meaning of parenthood. What role should 

the state play in providing individuals and families with 

access to reproductive technologies? This book 

concludes with a discussion of ”reproductive justice.” 

For instructors teaching a wide range of courses in the 

social sciences, the Routledge Social Issues Collection 

now offers the best of both worlds: originally written 

short texts that provide ”overviews” to important social 

issues as well as teachable excerpts from larger works 

previously published by Routledge and other presses.

Media and Middle Class Moms 

Images and Realities of Work and Family 

Lara J. Descartes, University of Connecticut, USA

Written by nationally recognized 

anthropologists Conrad Kottak 

and Lara Descartes, this 

ethnography of largely white, 

middle class families in a town 

in the midwest explores the 

role that the media play in 

influencing how those families 

cope with everyday work/family 

issues. The book insightfully 

reports that families struggle 

with, and make work/family 

decisions based largely on the 

images and ideas they receive from media sources, 

though they strongly deny being so influenced. An ideal 

book for teaching undergraduate family, media, and

Feminism, Psychoanalysis, 

and Maternal Subjectivity 

Alison Stone, University of Lancaster, USA 

Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy 

In this book Alison Stone develops a feminist approach 

to maternal subjectivity. Stone argues that in the West 

the self has often been understood in opposition to the 

maternal body, so that one must separate oneself from 

the mother and maternal care-givers on whom one 

depended in childhood to become a self or, in 

modernity, an autonomous subject. These assumptions 

make it difficult to be a mother and a subject, an 

autonomous creator of meaning. Insofar as mothers 

nonetheless strive to regain their subjectivity when their 

motherhood seems to have compromised it, theirs 

cannot be the usual kind of subjectivity premised on 

separation from the maternal body. Mothers are subjects 

of a new kind, who generate meanings and acquire 

agency from their position of re-immersion in the realm 

of maternal body relations, of bodily intimacy and 

dependency. Thus Stone interprets maternal subjectivity 

as a specific form of subjectivity that is continuous with 

the maternal body. Stone analyzes this form of 

subjectivity in terms of how the mother typically 

reproduces with her child her history 

of bodily relations with her own mother, leading to a 

distinctive maternal and cyclical form of lived time.

White Weddings 

Romancing Heterosexuality in Popular Culture 

Chrys Ingraham 

This is a groundbreaking study 

of our culture’s obsession with 

weddings. By examining 

popular films, commercials, 

magazines, advertising, 

television sitcoms and even 

children’s toys, this book shows 

the pervasive influence of 

weddings in our culture and the 

important role they play in maintaining the romance of 

heterosexuality, the myth of white supremacy and the 

insatiable appetite of consumer capitalism. It examines 

how the economics and marketing of weddings have 

replaced the religious and moral view of marriage. 

This second edition includes many new and updated 

features including: full coverage of the wedding 

industrial complex; gay marriage and its relationship to 

white weddings and heterosexuality and demographics 

shifts as to who is marrying whom and why, nationally

including a detailed discussion of the womanist 

worldview (cosmology, ontology, epistemology, logic,

Ethnography, Discourse Analysis, 

and Activist Research 

Nancy A. Naples 

Naples draws on different 

research topics, such as welfare, 

poverty, sexual identity, and 

sexual abuse, to illustrate some 

of the most salient dilemmas of 

feminist research: the debate 

over objectivity, the paradox of 

discourse, the dilemma of 

standpoint, and the challenges 

of activist research. By linking 

important feminist theoretical 

debates with case studies, 

Naples illustrates the strategies 

she has developed for resolving the challenges posed be 

postmodern, Third World, postcolonial, and queer studies.

Sociologists Backstage 

Answers to 10 Questions 

About What They Do 

Sarah Fenstermaker and Nikki Jones, both at 

University of California, Santa Barbara, USA 


From the Foreword by Howard Becker: 

”The stories in Sociologists 

Backstage tell how the 

contributors, who differ in 

so many ways, dealt with 

the situations they found 

themselves in as they did 

their research, and how who 

they were and what they 

had become in their lives 

intersected with those 

situations. The stories will 

fascinate you, and give you 

a lot to think about as you 

go ahead with your own research adventure.” 

-- Northwestern University, USA 

Published social science rarely gives real attention to the 

actual doing of research, making the process appear 

magical, or at least self-evident and simple. This book is 

intended to right the balance by illuminating the craft and 

the choices made as the research process unfolds for the 

sociologist. The metaphorical image of going ”backstage” 

speaks to the reader’s experience with each of the 17 

interviews, which illuminate the choices and constraints of 

researchers as well as unanticipated developments, good 

and bad. The volume represents a range of interests, 

themes, research philosophies and approaches from a 

diverse group of contributors. Particularly suited for 

advanced undergraduate and graduate research methods 

students, the volume addresses virtually all of the most 

vexing methods questions through accessible and 

compelling first-hand descriptions of sociological research. 

The volume is an invaluable addition to the library of all 

social science researchers.

THEORY AND METHODS 

Bodies That Matter 

On the Discursive Limits of Sex 

Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley, USA 

Series: Routledge Classics 

In Bodies That Matter, renowned 

theorist and philosopher Judith 

Butler argues that theories of 

gender need to return to the 

most material dimension of sex 

and sexuality: the body. Butler 

offers a brilliant reworking of 

the body, examining how the 

power of heterosexual 

hegemony forms the ”matter” 

of bodies, sex, and gender. 

Butler argues that power 

operates to constrain sex from 

the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex. She 

clarifies the notion of ”performativity” introduced in 

Gender Trouble and via bold readings of Plato, Irigaray, 

Lacan, and Freud explores the meaning of a citational 

politics. She also draws on documentary and literature 

with compelling interpretations of the film Paris is 

Burning, Nella Larsen’s Passing, and short stories by 

Willa Cather.

Contemporary Feminist 

Pragmatism 

Edited by Maurice Hamington, Metropolitan State 

College of Denver, USA and Celia Bardwell-Jones, 

Towson University, USA 


Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism is an interdisciplinary 

collection of original essays that explores the present 

implications of feminism and pragmatism for theory, 

policy, and action. The notion of ”feminist pragmatism” 

or ”pragmatist feminism” has been around since 

Charlene Haddock Seigfried introduced it two decades 

ago, however the bulk of the work in this field has been 

directed toward recovering the feminist strain of classical 

American philosophy, largely through renewed interest 

in the work of Jane Addams. This exploration of the 

origins of feminism and pragmatism has been fruitful in 

providing a foundation for theoretical considerations. 

This book takes this work a step further by addressing 

the modern significance of the nexus of feminism and 

pragmatism, arguing that these fields hold three 

common commitments and values: the importance of 

context and experience, the relationship of politics and 

values and the production of knowledge and 

metaphysics, and the need for diversity and thus 

dialogue among differently situated social groups.

CRIME AND

Violence Against Women 

Vulnerable Populations 

Douglas A. Brownridge, University of Manitoba, 

Canada 


Violence Against Women: 

Vulnerable Populations 

investigates under-researched 

and underserved groups of 

women who are particularly 

vulnerable to violent 

victimization from an intimate 

male partner. In the past, there 

has been an understandable 

reluctance to address this issue 

to avoid stereotyping vulnerable 

groups of women. However, 

developments in the field, 

particularly intersectionality theory, which recognizes 

women’s diversity in experiences of violence, suggest 

that the time has come to make the study of violence in 

vulnerable populations a new sub-field in the area. As 

the first book of its kind, Violence Against Women: 

Vulnerable Populations identifies where violence on 

vulnerable populations fits within the field, develops a 

method for studying vulnerable populations, and brings 

vital new knowledge to the field through the analysis of 

original data.

Beyond Bad Girls 

Gender, Violence and Hype 

Meda Chesney-Lind and Katherine Irwin 

In this important work, 

two respected criminologists 

challenge the characterization 

of the new ”bad girl,” arguing 

that it is only a new attempt to 

punish girls who are not the 

stereotypical depiction of good. 

Through interviews with young 

women, educators and people 

in the criminal justice system, 

Beyond Bad Girls exposes the 

formal and informal systems of 

socio-cultural control imposed 

on girls.

NEW 

Handbook on Sexual Violence 

Edited by Jennifer M. Brown, London School of 

Economics, UK and Sandra L. Walklate, University 

of Liverpool, UK 

This book contextualizes the 

complexity of sexual violence 

within its broader context – 

from war to the resolution 

of interpersonal disputes – and 

covers a wide span including 

sexual harassment, bullying, 

rape and murder as well as 

domestic violence. Written 

by leading academics from 

a variety of disciplines, 

contributions also include 

commentaries that relate the 

research to the work of practitioners. The Handbook 

is split into four sections: 

• ”Legacies: Setting the Scene” offers a critical 

overview of historical, legal and cultural processes 

which help to explain the origins of current thinking 

and offer steers for future developments 

• ”Theories and Concepts” examines contemporary 

thinking on sexual violence and reviews explanatory 

frameworks from a number of perspectives 

• ”Acts of Sexual Violence” reviews a number of 

specific types of sexual violence, elaborating the range 

of circumstances, victims and perpetrators with a view 

to addressing the general and pervasive nature of such 

violence thus contradicting narrow cultural stereotyping 

• ”Responding to Sexual Violence” overviews and 

evaluates current policies and practices and offers new 

ideas to develop different types of interventions. 

This will be a key text for students and academics 

studying sexual violence and an essential reference tool 

for professionals working in the field including police 

officers, probation staff, lawyers and judges.

Working with Women 

Offenders in the Community 

Edited by Rosemary Sheehan, Monash University, 

Australia, Gill McIvor, University of Stirling, UK and 

Chris Trotter, Monash University, Australia 

Contributions to this book 

challenge policy-makers and 

corrections systems to 

concentrate more on community 

provision for women offenders 

and resist popular calls for more 

punitive responses to all 

offenders, women included. 

Contributors come from a wide 

range of countries including 

Australia, Canada, UK and USA. 

They argue that the criminogenic 

lens applied to women’s 

offending must be gender-responsive if systems are to be 

successful at addressing the disadvantage and risk 

associated with offending behavior. 

Working With Women Offenders in the Community 

concentrates on women who have committed criminal 

offences and who may have been placed on probation 

or other community based court orders or who have 

been released from prison on parole. It discusses the 

work done by professional workers including probation 

officers, community corrections officers and specialist 

case managers in areas such as drug treatment, housing, 

mental health or employment programs. 

This book will be of interest to professional probation 

officers, case managers, drug treatment workers and 

others who work with women offenders. It will also be 

essential reading for students of criminology, social 

work, psychology, sociology and other disciplines who 

have an interest in women offenders.

Dirty Dancing 

An Ethnography of Lap Dancing 


CRIME AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE 

NEW 

Offending Girls 

Young Women and Youth Justice 

Gilly Sharpe, University of Sheffield, UK 

Offending Girls challenges simplistic and demonizing 

popular representations of ”bad” girls and examines what 

exactly is new about the ”new” offending girl. In the light 

of enormous social and cultural changes affecting girls’ 

lives, and expectations of them, since previous British 

research in this area, the book investigates whether 

popular stereotypes problematising female youthful 

behavior resonate with the accounts of criminalized 

young women themselves, and to what extent they 

have infiltrated professional youth justice discourse. 

Through the lens of original detailed qualitative research 

in two Youth Offending Teams and a Secure Training 

Centre – the first study of its kind since the 

”modernization” of the youth justice system over a 

decade ago – Offending Girls questions whether the 

”new” youth justice system is delivering justice for girls 

and young women. It also contends that the panic about 

an ”unprecedented crime wave” amongst girls is not 

supported by robust evidence, but that the interventionist 

thrust which characterizes contemporary youth justice has 

had a particularly pernicious impact on girls. 

This book will be key reading for students and academics 

working in the areas of criminology, criminal and youth 

justice, education, gender studies, youth studies, social 

work, sociology and social policy, as well as youth and 

criminal justice practitioners and policy-makers.

Rachela Colosi, University of Lincoln, UK 

Series: Crime Ethnography 

Based on ethnographic research conducted in ”Starlets,” a lap-dancing club in the North of 

England, this book delves into what is often seen as the ”deviant,” and ”stigmatized” world of 

lap-dancing. As well as the relationships between dancers, the author offers a unique insider’s 

account of lap-dancing club culture, having worked as a lap-dancer both prior to, and during, 

the study. The book tells a fascinating tale of the author’s experiences working as a lap dancer 

and the insights this has provided. This book projects a textured picture of working, socializing 

and living as a lap-dancer by following the dancer from the beginning of her career, to her 

eventual exit; providing a fluid and comprehensive examination of the occupation of lap-dancing. 

As well as building on the popular themes of ”dancer motivation,” ”dancer exploitation/ 

empowerment” and risk already embedded in existing literature, this book also offers completely 

new insight into this industry by drawing attention to the occupational subculture of which 

lap-dancers at ”Starlets” were found to be a part. This book is recommended for anyone 

studying or researching in this field.

Taking Food Public 

Redefining Foodways in a Changing World 

Edited by Psyche Williams Forson, University of 

Maryland, College Park, USA and Carole Counihan, 

Millersville University, USA 

Taking Food Public is organized 

into five interrelated sections: 

food production, consumption, 

performance, diasporas, and 

activism. The articles in this 

reader aim to provide new 

perspectives on the changing 

meanings and uses of food in 

the twenty-first century. 

This book integrates 

understandings of race, class, 

gender, region, sexuality and 

ethnic/national identity into the 

human experience of food. Taking Food Public also 

examines how this experience is manifested in 

extraordinary forms of food production and 

consumption (in mass media performances of cooking 

and eating, redefinitions of foodways throughout 

Diasporas, identities around food, and in food activism).

Surviving Dictatorship 

A Work of Visual Sociology 

Jacqueline Adams, University of California, 

Berkeley, USA 


Written as a book for 

undergraduate students, 

Surviving Dictatorship is also 

both a visual sociology, and case 

study that communicates the 

lived experience of poverty and 

powerlessness in an authoritarian 

society: Pinochet’s Chile. So 

powerful a shaper of the poor’s 

experience is a dictatorship, that 

one might add “degree of 

authoritarianism” (conceived 

by Patricia Hill Collins) as an 

additional dimension to the idea. This book is ideal for 

courses in social inequalities, poverty.

Foodies 

Democracy and Distinction 

in the Gourmet Foodscape 

Josee Johnston and Shyon Baumann, 

both at University of Toronto, Canada 

Series: Cultural Spaces 

”Food is an increasingly 

important status marker, but 

little systematic attention 

has been given to the 

subject until now. Johnston 

and Baumann use discourse 

analysis blending interviews 

of self-defined foodies with 

the ’food writing’ in 

contemporary American 

magazines, newspapers and 

books. This is a heavy topic 

presented with style and 

grace. Bravo!” 

– Richard A. Peterson, Vanderbilt University, USA 

This important new cultural analysis tells two stories 

about food. The first depicts good food as democratic. 

Foodies frequent ”hole in the wall” ethnic eateries, 

appreciate the pie found in working-class truck stops, 

and reject the snobbery of fancy French restaurants with 

formal table service. The second story describes how 

food operates as a source of status and distinction for 

economic and cultural elites, indirectly maintaining and 

reproducing social inequality. While the first storyline 

insists that anybody can be a foodie, the second asks 

foodies to look in the mirror and think about their 

relative social and economic privilege. By simultaneously 

considering both of these stories, and studying how they 

operate in tension, a delicious sociology of food 

becomes available, perfect for teaching a broad 

range of cultural sociology courses.

Edited by Marianne H. Marchand, Universidad de las

University of Cincinatti, USA 

Series: RIPE Series in Global Political Economy 

Praise for second edition: 

”A new edition from 

Marchand and Runyan is 

cause for celebration. They 

and their smart contributors 

show us here so graphically 

that the surprising twists 

and turns of today’s 

globalizing trends cannot be 

realistically tracked without 

taking women’s working 

lives and political resistances 

seriously.” – Cynthia Enloe, 

author of Nimo’s War, Emma’s War: Making Feminist 

Sense of the Iraq War 

In this new edition of this best selling text, interdisciplinary 

feminist experts from around the world provide new 

analyses of the ongoing relationship between gender and 

neoliberal globalization under the new imperialism in the 

post-9/11 context. 

Divided into Sightings, Sites and Resistances, this book 

examines: 

• the disciplining politics of race, sexuality and modernity 

under securitized globalization, including case studies 

on domestic workers in Hong Kong 

• heteronormative development policies and responses 

to the crisis of social reproduction and colonizing 

responses to AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa 

• migration, human rights and citizenship, including 

studies on remittances, the emergence of neoliberal 

subjectivities among rural Mexican women, Filipina 

migrant workers and women’s labor organizing in the 

Middle East and North Africa 

• feminist resistance, incorporating the latest scholarship 

on transnational feminism and feminist critical 

globalization movement activism, including case studies 

on men’s violence on the Mexico/US border, panindigenous 

women’s movements and cyberfeminism. 

This text will be of interest to students and scholars of 

IPE, international relations, economics, development and 

gender studies.

Feminist Security Studies 

A Narrative Approach 

Annick T. R. Wibben, University of San Francisco, USA 

Series: PRIO New Security Studies 

The volume explicitly works 

toward an opening up of 

security studies that would 

allow for feminist (and other) 

narratives to be recognized and 

taken seriously as security 

narratives. To make this 

possible, it presents a feminist 

reading of security studies that 

aims to invigorate the debate 

and radicalize critical security 

studies. Since feminism is a 

political project, and security 

studies are, at their base, about particular visions of the 

political and their attendant institutions, this is of 

necessity a political intervention. The book works 

through and beyond security studies to explore possible 

spaces where an opening of security, necessary to make 

way for feminist insights, can take place. While it 

develops and illustrates a feminist narrative approach 

to security, it is also intended as an intervention that 

challenges the politics of security and the meanings for 

security legitimized in existing practices. 

This book provides develops a comprehensive framework 

for the emerging field of feminist security studies and 

will be of great interest to students and scholars of 

feminist IR, critical security studies, gender studies and 

IR and security studies in general.

Contesting the Politics 

of Genocidal Rape 

Affirming the Dignity of the Vulnerable Body 

Debra B. Bergoffen, George Mason University, USA 


When the International 

Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) tried and 

convicted the Bosnian Serb soldiers who raped and sexually 

enslaved Muslim women and girls, it broke new legal and 

philosophical ground. In addition to identifying genocidal 

rape as a crime against humanity, the court, in finding that 

the rapes violated the women’s right to sexual selfdetermination, 

created a new human right – the right 

to sexual integrity. In grounding this human right in a 

woman’s body, a body traditionally gendered and 

stigmatized as vulnerable, this book argues, the ICTY 

transformed vulnerability from a sign of shame into a 

mark of our humanity. Doing this, the court directs us to 

challenge current meanings of bodily integrity and human 

dignity insofar as they define human rights as protecting 

the invulnerability of the body rather than as guaranteeing 

the dignity of the vulnerable body.

with the denialism of wartime 

rape?

Voices from the Margins 

Leah Bassel, City University, London, UK 

Series: Routledge Advances in Sociology 

Does accommodating Islam violate women’s rights? This 

book breaks from scholarship that focuses upon whether 

accommodation of culture and religion harms women. 

Instead, it claims that this debate ignores the realities of 

the women at its heart. The book contrasts debates in 

France over the headscarf and in Canada over religious 

arbitration with lived experience. The challenges the 

women eloquently describe first-hand in this book 

demonstrate that the fray over accommodating culture 

and religion neglects other needs. Yet it also takes a 

step further to argue that a large part of the reason this 

occurs is that democratic participation is restricted: in 

these countries, “Muslim women” are constructed as 

silent victims. Rather than a crisis of protection or 

accommodation, this book identifies a crisis of voice and 

representation. Its central message is a plea to consider 

women in all their complexity first and foremost as active 

participants in democratic life.

Methodologies in 

Feminist Studies 

Edited by Mona Livholts, Mid Sweden University, 

Sweden 



In a time of growing demand for methodological renewal 

that promotes justice and equality, this edited collection 

focuses on emergent writing methodologies in feminist 

studies. It explores some of the central politics, ideas, and 

power dimensions that condition and shape knowledge, 

elaborates with critical, embodied, reflective and situated 

writing practices and discusses the relationship between 

author, text and audiences. The book is excellent literature 

for postgraduates, researchers and academics in feminist 

and intersectionality studies, and helpful as guidance for 

writing sessions and workshops.

Making Gender, Making War

Practices 

Edited by Annica Kronsell, Lund University, Sweden 

and Erika Svedberg, Malmo University, Sweden 



Making Gender, Making War is a unique interdisciplinary 

edited collection which explores the social construction of 

gender, war-making and peacekeeping. It highlights the 

institutions and processes involved in the making of 

gender in terms of both men and women, masculinity 

and femininity. The “war question for feminism” marks 

a thematic red thread throughout; it is a call to students 

and scholars of feminism to take seriously and engage 

with the task of analyzing war. Contributors analyze how 

war-making is intertwined with the making of gender in a 

diversity of empirical case studies, organized around four 

themes: gender, violence and militarism; how the making 

of gender is connected to a (re)making of the nation 

through military practices; UN SCR 1325 and gender 

mainstreaming in institutional practices; and gender 

subjectivities in the organization of violence, exploring 

the notion of violent women and non-violent men.

How do women withstand daily 

discrimination and prolonged

regime which held rejection of

of archival and ethnographic 

sources and of rich life 

testimonies, this book provides a 

rare glimpse into how women came to find solace and 

happiness in the flourishing, female-dominated traditions 

of local Islamic women’s mosques, Daoist nunneries and 

Catholic convents in China. These women passionately 

– often against unimaginable odds – defended sites of 

prayer, education and congregation as their spiritual 

home and their promise of heaven, but also as their 

rightful claim to equal entitlements with men.

Rethinking the Gay 

and Lesbian Movement 

Marc Stein, York University, Canada 

Series edited by Heather Thompson 

Series: American Social and Political Movements 

of the 20th Century 

Rethinking the Gay and Lesbian Movement will 

provide a new narrative history of the gay and lesbian 

movement, drawing on primary research in the field as 

well as the research and writing of more than twenty 

other scholars who have offered new perspectives on 

the history of the movement. 

Author Marc Stein begins with the background of the gay 

and lesbian movement in the late nineteenth and early 

twentieth centuries, and goes on to contextualize and 

narrate half a century worth of key legal and political 

developments. The author defines key terms and explains 

the focus on ”gay and lesbian” history, which are 

conceptualized as a field of knowledge that intersects 

with ”trans,” ”queer,” and ”intersex” history. 

Rethinking the Gay and Lesbain Movement provides a 

short, accessible overview of this important social and 

political movement, highlighting key events and key 

figures, the movement’s strengths and weaknesses, how 

it intersected with other social and political movements 

of the time, and its lasting effect on the country. It is 

perfect for anyone wanting to obtain an introduction to 

Gay and Lesbian history and activism.

Entering the Picture 

Judy Chicago, The Fresno Feminist Art 

Program, and the Collective Visions of 

Women Artists 

Edited by Jill Fields, California State University, 

Fresno, USA 

Series: New Directions in American History 

In 1970, Judy Chicago and 

fifteen students founded the 

groundbreaking Feminist Art 

Program (FAP) at Fresno State. 

Drawing upon the 

consciousness-raising 

techniques of the women’s 

liberation movement, they 

created shocking new art forms 

depicting female experiences. 

Collaborative work and 

performance art – including the 

famous “Cunt Cheerleaders” 

– were program hallmarks. Moving to Los Angeles, the 

FAP produced the first major feminist art installation, 

Womanhouse (1972). 

Augmented by thirty-seven illustrations and color plates, 

this interdisciplinary collection of essays by artists and 

scholars, many of whom were eye witnesses to landmark 

events, relates how feminists produced vibrant bodies of 

art in Fresno and other locales where similar 

collaborations flourished. Articles on topics such as 

African American artists in New York and Los Angeles, 

San Francisco’s Las Mujeres Muralistas and Asian 

American Women Artists Association, and exhibitions in 

Taiwan and Italy showcase the artistic trajectories that 

destabilized traditional theories and practices and 

reshaped the art world. An engaging editor’s 

introduction explains how feminist art emerged within 

the powerful women’s movement that transformed 

America. Entering the Picture is an exciting collection 

about the provocative contributions of feminists to 

American art.

Transgender Migrations 

The Bodies, Borders, and Politics of Transition 

Edited by Trystan Cotten, California State 

University, Stanislaus, USA 

Series: New Directions in American History 

Transgender Migrations brings 

together a top-notch collection 

of emerging and established 

scholars to examine the way 

that the term “migration” can 

be used not only to look at the 

way trans bodies migrate from 

one gender to the (an?) other, 

but the way that trans people 

migrate in the larger 

geopolitical contexts of 

immigration reform, the war 

on terror, the war on drugs, 

and the increased policing of national borders. 

The book centers trans-ing experiences, identities, 

and politics, and treats these identities as inextricably 

intertwined with other social identities, institutions, and 

discourses of sexuality, nationality, race and ethnicity, 

globalization, colonialism, and terrorism. The chapter 

authors explore not only the movement of bodies in, 

through, and across spaces and borders, but also chart 

the metamorphoses of these bodies in relation to 

migration and mobility. 

Transgender Migrations takes the theory in The 

Transgender Studies Reader and blows it up to a 

global scale.

Transgender Representation 

and the Politics of the Real 

in the United States 

Michel J. Boucher, University of Massachusetts, 

Amherst, USA 

Series: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies 

Transgender Representation and the Politics of the 

”Real” in the United States shifts the structural dynamics 

of academic and pop cultural debates by highlighting 

the ideology of gendered ”realness” as an operation of 

power through which rights, privileges, and resources 

are distributed and denied. Beginning with the 

assumption that transgender identities are as socially 

necessary and ”real” as any other gender identification, 

Boucher argues that this recognition does not preclude 

one from critically examining the cultural production of 

and demand for gendered ”realness” as a primary 

function of power or recognizing its limitations as a 

narrative and political strategy for trans people.

African American 

Women in the News 

Gender, Race, and Class in Journalism 

Marian Meyers, Georgia State University, USA 

African American Women in the News offers the first 

in-depth examination of the varied representations of 

black women in American journalism, from analyses of 

coverage of domestic abuse and ”crack mothers” to 

exploration of new media coverage of Michelle Obama on 

Youtube. Marian Meyers interrogates the varied, complex, 

and often contradictory images of African American 

women in various news media through detailed case 

studies of both national and local news, the mainstream 

and black press, and traditional news outlets as well as 

new digital news platforms. She argues that previous 

studies of African Americans and the news have largely 

ignored the representations of women as distinct from 

men, and the ways in which socioeconomic class becomes 

a determining factor in how black women are portrayed 

by the press. Meyers proposes that a pattern of 

paternalistic racism, as distinct from the ”modern” racism 

found in previous studies of news coverage of African 

Americans, is more likely to characterize the media’s 

treatment of African American women. Drawing on 

critical cultural studies and black feminist theory, Meyers 

suggests that the cultural myths and stereotypes of 

African American women we see in the news belies a far 

more complex and contradictory issue, located at the 

intersection of race, class and gender. 

African American Women in the News is ideal for courses 

on race and news media, and for professional journalists 

and students of journalism who seek to improve the 

diversity and sensitivity of their journalistic practice.

This book examines the proliferation of gay, lesbian, and queer representations in mainstream American media over 

the past forty years. Kohnen argues that queer media visibility has become a narrowly defined category that upholds 

normative ideas about sexuality, race, and the American nation. She examines how and why this limited and limiting 

concept of queer visibility has become the embodiment of progressive and liberatory LGBT media representations and 

traces the uneven history of queer media visibility through crucial turning points including the early gay liberation 

movement of the late 1960s/70s, the AIDS crisis of the 80s, the so-called explosion of gay visibility of the 90s and the 

reimagination of queer citizenship after the events of 9/11. Further, Kohnen reveals how queer visibility shapes and 

reflects not only media representations, but the real and imagined geographies, histories, and peoples of the 

American nation.

The Black Female Body in 

American Literature and Art 

Performing Identity 

Caroline Brown, University of Montreal, Canada 

Series: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives 

on Literature 

This book examines how African-American writers and 

visual artists interweave icon and inscription in order to 

re-present the black female body, traditionally rendered 

alien and inarticulate within Western discursive and 

visual systems. Brown considers how the writings of Toni 

Morrison, Gayl Jones, Paule Marshall, Edwidge Danticat, 

Jamaica Kincaid, Andrea Lee, Gloria Naylor, and Martha 

Southgate are bound to such contemporary, postmodern 

visual artists as Lorna Simpson, Carrie Mae Weems, Kara 

Walker, Betye Saar, and Faith Ringgold. While the artists 

and authors rely on radically different media – photos, 

collage, video, and assembled objects, as opposed to 

words and rhythm – both sets of intellectual activists 

insist on the primacy of the black aesthetic. Both assert 

artistic agency and cultural continuity in the face of the 

oppression, social transformation, and cultural 

multiplicity of the late twentieth and early twenty-first 

centuries. This book examines how African-American 

performative practices mediate the tension between the 

ostensibly de-racialized body politic and the hyperracialized 

black, female body, reimagining the cultural 

and political ground that guides various articulations of 

American national belonging. Brown shows how and 

why black women writers and artists matter as agents 

of change, how and why the form and content of their 

works must be recognized and reconsidered in the 

increasingly frenzied arena of cultural production and 

political debate.

Aesthetic Pleasure in 

Twentieth-Century Women’s 

Food Writing 

The Innovative Appetites of M.F.K. Fisher, 

Alice B. Toklas, and Elizabeth David 

Alice McLean, Sweet Briar College, USA 

Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature 

Aesthetic Pleasure in Twentieth-Century Women’s Food 

Writing explores the aesthetic pleasures of eating and 

writing in the lives of M. F. K. Fisher (1908–1992), Alice 

B. Toklas (1877–1967), and Elizabeth David (1913– 

1992). Growing up during a time when women’s food 

writing was largely limited to the domestic cookbook, 

which helped to codify the guidelines of middle class 

domesticity, Fisher, Toklas, and David claimed the 

pleasures of gastronomy previously reserved for men. 

Articulating a language through which female desire is 

artfully and publicly sated, Fisher, Toklas, and David 

expanded women’s food writing beyond the domestic 

realm by pioneering forms of self-expression that 

celebrate female appetite for pleasure and for culinary 

adventure. In so doing, they illuminate the power of 

genre-bending food writing to transgress and 

reconfigure conventional gender ideologies. For these 

women, food encouraged a sensory engagement with 

their environment and a physical receptivity toward 

pleasure that engendered their creative aesthetic.

The Myth of Persephone 

in Girls’ Fantasy Literature 

Holly Blackford, Rutgers University, Camden, USA 

Series: Children’s Literature and Culture 

This book explores the myth of 

Persephone and Demeter as it 

informs the development of a 

long discourse about civilization, 

the development of children, 

child psychology, and fantasy 

literature. The pattern in the 

myth of girls who descend into 

underworlds and negotiate a 

partial return to the earth is a 

marked feature of girls’ 

literature, and the cycle also 

reflects the change of seasons 

and fertility/death. Tracing the parallel between the myth 

and girls’ literature enables an understanding of how 

female development is mourned but deemed necessary 

for the reproduction of culture. Blackford looks at the 

function of toys in children’s literature as a 

representation of the myth’s narcissus, combining this 

approach with classic interpretations of the myth as 

expressive of female psychology, mother-daughter 

object-relations, hieros gamos (fertility coupling) rituals, 

transition from matriarchal to patriarchal order, and 

excursions into the creative/artistic unconscious. The 

story of Persephone’s separation from her mother and 

abduction into the underworld is explored as an 

expression of ambivalence about female development in 

works such as Hoffmann’s Nutcracker and Mouse King, 

Alcott’s Little Women, Bront’’s Wuthering Heights, 

Barrie’s Peter and Wendy, Burnett’s The Secret Garden, 

White’s Charlotte’s Web, Rowling’s Harry Potter and the 

Chamber of Secrets, Meyer’s Twilight, and Gaiman’s 

Coraline. With this book, Blackford offers a 

consideration of how literature for the young squares 

with broader canons, how classics flexibly and uniquely 

speak through novels that enjoy broad appeal, and how 

female traditions are embedded in novels by both men 

and women.

This book considers the ways Cather, Stowe, Wharton, and Alcott inhabited domestic space and portrayed it in their 

work. Exploring authors who had intriguing and autonomous relationships with home, Hellman undertakes a dual 

treatment of domesticity, synthesizing a more complete understanding of the relationships between social history 

and literary accomplishment.

Hopeful Girls, Troubled Boys 

Race and Gender Inequality in Urban Education 

Nancy Lopez, University of New Mexico, USA 

An exciting revision of a classic book, Hopeful Girls, 

Troubled Boys focuses on the life histories of the largest 

immigrant group in New York City – the youth from the 

Dominican Republic, the West Indies, and Haiti – to 

explain why girls of color are succeeding at higher rates 

than their male counterparts. Nancy Lopez brings to life 

the attitudes, feelings, and expectations of these teens, 

and shows that girls maintain optimistic outlooks on their 

lives, while boys are ambivalent about the promises of 

education. This fascinating account explains how and 

why our schools and cities are failing boys of color.

GENDER-CLASS EQUALITY 

IN POLITICAL ECONOMIES 

Lynn Prince Cooke, Surrey University, UK 


”Cooke no longer ’adds gender and stirs’ it into the 

customary male-centered story of stratification, but 

rethinks the fundamental processes of inequality as being 

simultaneously about production and reproduction. Cooke 

succeeds so well in placing reproduction in an integrated and 

important position in the overall story of stratification that 

one might wonder how the old-style production-only 

accounts ever seemed plausible.” 

– Myra Marx Ferree, Sociology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA 

Gender-Class Equality in Political Economies offers an in-depth 

analysis of gender-class equality across six countries to reveal why 

gender-class equality in paid and unpaid work remains elusive, and 

what more policy might do to achieve better social and economic 

outcomes. This book is the first to meld cross-time with crosscountry 

comparisons, link macro structures to micro behavior, and 

connect class with gender dynamics to yield fresh insights into 

where we are on the road to gender equality, why it varies across 

industrialized countries, and the barriers to further progress. 

Selected Contents: 1. Gender-Class Equality Over Time 2. Paid and Unpaid 

Work in Context 3. Population Policies and Group Divides 4. Educational 

Foundations of Gender-Class Equality 5. Policy Foundations of Gender-Class

Poverty Capital 

Microfinance and the Making of Development 

Ananya Roy, University of California, Berkeley, USA 

”Poverty Capital sends readers on a fascinating journey across Washington, D.C., 

Beirut, Cairo, and rural Bangladesh, with little choice but to rethink the whole 

project of development. Along the way, Roy crafts a brilliant study on the 

seductions of microfinance, the travelling circuits (and circus) of poverty capital, 

and the ‘end of political economy’. A pure joy to read!” 

– Michael Goldman, Sociology and Global Studies, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA 

This is a book about poverty but it does not study the poor and the powerless. Instead it studies 

those who manage poverty. It sheds light on how powerful institutions control ”capital,” or 

circuits of profit and investment, as well as ”truth,” or authoritative knowledge about poverty. 

Such dominant practices are challenged by alternative paradigms of development, and the book 

details these as well. Using the case of microfinance, the book participates in a set of fierce 

debates about development – from the role of markets to the secrets of successful pro-poor 

institutions. Based on many years of research in Washington D.C., Bangladesh, and the Middle East, Poverty Capital also 

grows out of the author’s undergraduate teaching to thousands of students on the subject of global poverty and inequality. 

Selected Contents: 1. Small Worlds: The Democratization of Capital and Development 2. Global Order: Circuits of Capital 

Truth 3. Dissent at the Margins: Development and the Bangladesh Paradox 4. The Pollution of Free Money: Debt, Discipline,

WORK, ECONOMICS, AND ORGANIZATION 

Women on the Line 

Miriam Glucksmann aka Ruth Cavendish, 

University of Essex, UK 

Women on the Line is a 

pioneering ethnographic classic 

of the world of work in a British 

motor components factory. 

Miriam Glucksmann (aka Ruth 

Cavendish), a well-known 

contributor to the study of 

gender, work and employment, 

is for the first time revealed as 

the author, along with the 

identity of the company, 

product and factory. 

Recording the experience of 

migrant women from Ireland, the Caribbean, and the 

Indian subcontinent with the immediacy of a diary, this is 

a unique account from an observing participant of the 

daily routines of repetitive work, a strike led by women 

from below, and the temporalities of work, home, 

children and leisure. Glucksmann’s vivid narrative of life 

on the assembly line is combined with an analysis of the 

intersections of gender, ethnicity and class that 

prefigures subsequent theoretical advances. 

This edition contains a new introduction situating the 

book in contemporary debates and developments and 

includes original photographs taken on the shop floor 

at the time.
