The Political Economy of Gender in the Twentieth-Century Caribbean
ISBN: 9780333732823 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eudine Barriteau exposes the precarious position of women in twentieth century Caribbean societies through analyzing the operations of gender systems. She reveals the absence of gender justice and equity, and demonstrates that after twenty-five years of policies on women, Caribbean societies still have not confronted the fundamental problem of women's subordination and the conditions that maintain this. The strategies used by developing states to focus on women are criticised as inadequate and it is recommended that state and society pay more attention to understanding the lives of women.

Women's Movements in International Perspective: Latin America and Beyond
ISBN: 9780333786772 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until now, the analysis of gender and political inequality, and of the women's movements that have contested it, has concentrated on the West. In this wide-ranging re-evaluation, incorporating development studies and political sociology, Maxine Molyneux redresses this balance by analyzing Latin American women's movements within liberal, authoritarian, and revolutionary states. These studies of Argentina, Nicaragua, and Cuba, alongside comparative discussions of socialism, women's movements, and citizenship, examine the complex, and persistent, interaction of states and women's movements, and...

Club Cultures and Female Subjectivity: The Move from Home to House
ISBN: 9780333946060 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work explores the significance which contemporary club cultures can have for women at a time when femininity is undergoing radical reconstruction. The book focuses upon the experiential accounts given by a range of 'raving' and clubbing women and illustrates how new (and, in some respects, more appropriate to our times) fictions of femininity are generated within these accounts. Club cultures can, it is argued, come to provide important sites for the exploration of new ways of being women-in-culture. Focus upon these more subjective and experiential aspects reveals that today's dance...

Let us imagine ourselves as selves, as at once striving and female. Womanhood can be what we say it is, not what they have always told us it was."
