Liberty, Equality, and Justice: Civil Rights, Women's Rights, and the Regulation of Business, 1865-1932
ISBN: 9780822319917 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Liberty, equality, and justice have long been treasured in American culture as core values. In "Liberty, Equality, and Justice," Ross Evans Paulson studies social and intellectual changes in a critical period of American history--from the end of the Civil War to the early days of the Depression--and argues that attempts to achieve civil rights, women's rights, and the regulation of business faltered because so many Americans ranked liberty for themselves higher than equality with others and justice for all.

Black Venus: Sexualized Savages, Primal Fears, and Primitive Narratives in French
ISBN: 9780822323402 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Black Venus" is a feminist study of the representations of black women in the literary, cultural, and scientific imagination of nineteenth-century France. Employing psychoanalysis, feminist film theory, and the critical race theory articulated in the works of Frantz Fanon and Toni Morrison, T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting argues that black women historically invoked both desire and primal fear in French men. By inspiring repulsion, attraction, and anxiety, they gave rise in the nineteenth-century French male imagination to the primitive narrative of Black Venus.

High Tech and High Heels in the Global Economy: Women, Work, and Pink-Collar Identities in the Caribbean
ISBN: 9780822324034 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "High Tech and High Heels in the Global Economy" is an ethnography of globalization positioned at the intersection between political economy and cultural studies.

It places gender at the center of transnational analysis, and local Caribbean culture and history at the center of global studies.
