Pageants, Parlors, and Pretty Women: Race and Beauty in the Twentieth-Century South
ISBN: 9781469629865 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the South's pageant queens to the importance of beauty parlors to African American communities, it is easy to see the ways beauty is enmeshed in southern culture. But as Blain Roberts shows in this incisive work, the pursuit of beauty in the South was linked to the tumultuous racial divides of the region, where the Jim Crow-era cosmetics industry came of age selling the idea of makeup that emphasized whiteness, and where, in the 1950s and 1960s, black-owned beauty shops served as crucial sites of resistance for civil rights activists. In these times of strained relations in the South,...

Damned Whores and God's Police
ISBN: 9781742234908 / Angielski / Miękka / 780 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sexual harassment, domestic violence and date rape had not been named, although they certainly existed, when "Damned Whores and God s Police" was first published in 1975. That was before the Sex Discrimination Act of 1984 and before large numbers of women became visible in employment, in politics and elsewhere across society. It was in this climate that Anne Summers identified damned whores and God s police, the stereotypes that characterized all women as being either virtuous mothers whose function was to civilize society or bad girls who refused, or were unable, to conform to that norm and...

ISBN: 9781523668618 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than 30 years ago I found the Diaries of Harriet E. Wagner inside a false bottom of an old trunk lying forgotten in an enclosed garage in her house at Sea View Street in the Condado area, San Juan, Puerto Rico, just like many others diaries that have been found in dusty attics and between walls. Along with the diaries were also most treasured possessions, letters, photographs, personal notes and other remembrances of her life. If someone asks me, "It's there a plot in this work?" I will have to respond that this is a recount of a very romantic and ahead of her times woman, about her life...
