The Cambridge Companion to Women and Islam provides a comprehensive overview of a timely topic that encompasses the fields of Islamic feminist scholarship, anthropology, history, and sociology. Divided into three parts, it makes several key contributions. The volume offers a detailed analysis of textual debates on gender and Islam, highlighting the logic of classical reasoning and its enduring appeal, while emphasizing alternative readings proposed by Islamic feminists. It considers the agency that Muslim women exhibit in relation to their faith as reflected in women's piety movements. Moreover, the volume documents how Muslim women shape socio-political life, presenting real-world examples from across the Muslim world and diaspora communities. Written by an international team of scholars, the Companion also explores theoretical and methodological advances in the field, providing guidance for future research. Surveying Muslim women's experiences across time and place, it also presents debates on gender norms across various genres of Islamic scholarship.

In Muslim-majority countries, safeguarding minority rights and advancing gender equality are vital components of the broader human rights discussion. Minority rights encompass various groups, including ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities, who often face discrimination, marginalisation and unequal treatment within society. These challenges are rooted in historical, cultural and socio-political factors that shape legal frameworks and societal attitudes towards minority communities. Similarly, gender dynamics play a significant role in the human rights discourse in these nations, as women encounter various forms of discrimination and inequality, such as limited access to education, employment, and participation in decision-making processes. This volume explores the legal frameworks concerning minority rights and gender equality in Egypt and Malaysia, shedding light on the challenges faced by marginalised groups in these countries. It evaluates the effectiveness of legal instruments and mechanisms in addressing discrimination and promoting inclusivity within these societies. Furthermore, it examines laws, government policies and court rulings related to women's rights, covering essential topics such as education, employment and political engagement. This volume offers valuable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, academics and activists dedicated to understanding and advocating for human rights in these societies.

This open access book examines disenfranchisement and voting barriers in ten self-governing and aspiring liberal democracies worldwide, before and after the introduction of so-called universal suffrage. Focusing on economic voting restrictions implemented through constitutional provisions and laws, it explores the various disqualifications that prevent people from voting. The notions of economic independence underpinning these restrictions have built and reinforced societal structures and power relations, particularly concerning class, gender, race, civil status, age, and education. Historically, voting rights have been celebrated as a symbol of inclusivity and equal citizenship. Yet, as contributors in this collection highlight, recent centennial celebrations of universal suffrage often depict it as a distinct milestone, overshadowing the voting restrictions that persisted post women's suffrage. As democracy now faces new, concerted challenges, there is a compelling reason to revisit and question the narrative of the progression of democratic ideals.

Jovanovski, Natalie, Diet Culture and Counterculture: Self and Society in the Anti-Diet Movement. 244 pp. 2024:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-345>
ISBN 978-1-349-96113-9 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book is the first of its kind to explore how women challenge the powerful sociocultural and gendered phenomenon of diet culture across the broad anti-diet movement and beyond. Showcasing the voices of over 150 everyday women, activists, and health professionals across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, the author provides new insight into anti-diet practices while giving agency for women who remain main targets of diet culture. Using Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus as a novel starting point to develop a concept of the diet habitus, the author explores the possibility of a fragmented but unified diet counterculture. Drawing on feminist perspectives from women's and fat liberation movements, the author demonstrates that women's anti-diet practices are grounded in a combination of self and society; one that has the power to significantly re-shape the broad landscape of food and eating for women. This international book appeals to scholars, students, activists and health professionals interested in the intersections of the sociology of the body, fat studies, sociology of food and nutrition, social movements, health sociology, and women's studies.

ISBN 978-981-9725-99-1 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book provides a timely study of community-based activism in contemporary South Africa. Grounded in oral history, the book examines the acquired expertise and life experiences of an impactful South African activist, Mandla Majola, within the context of the people, circumstances, and affiliations that have shaped his strategic thinking and practice. The authors situate Mandla Majola's activist and everyday experiences within histories of the complex connections between post-apartheid political and social movements and human rights discourse as they emerged after 1994. The book illuminates the relationship of state power to public health activism for HIV, tuberculosis and COVID-19 and for a life of basic human dignity, including access to sanitation and housing. Mandla Majola's life spotlights the inspiring, sometimes grueling, and tireless quotidian work of thousands of "invisible" community-based activists whose collective actions have impacted the entire spectrum of social and economic rights of untold numbers of people in South Africa and beyond.

ISBN 978-3-031-69469-1 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book focuses on the discussion of the women's liberation movement and feminism in Finnish print media between 1968 and 1985. By analysing this topic, the book demonstrates that a relatively well-developed state of gender equality in a society does not necessarily result in fertile ground for feminist activism. On the contrary, it may hinder the success of more radical claims presented by feminists, and mass media serves as a central player in this. Consequently, the book enhances our understanding of the mechanisms that prevent societies from reaching complete equality, and it shows how cultural specificities influence the ways in which transnational ideas of feminism are adopted in a local context. This is shown by analysing the dialogic relationship between journalists and feminist activists as well as the mediated negotiations of the meanings of feminism within the women's movement.

世界の宗教における女性

This book delves into the future of the relationship between religion and the status of women. With contributions from distinguished scholars, it examines current trends in the following religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. It envisions the implications of these developments for the future position of women. The method employed in this book is characterized by what is known as 'personalist epistemology.' The contributing authors blend their experiences as women within the diverse traditions, along with more comprehensive accounts of the role of women in these religions. By doing so, they combine the finest aspects of subjective and objective approaches to studying women in world religions. The contributors examine contemporary trends within their respective religious traditions by combining the finest aspects of subjective and objective approaches to studying women in world religions. It serves as a testament to the enduring interest in women's roles in religion and the dynamic nature of the field. The book intends to appeal to many readers, from the general public to academics. It offers valuable insights into the position of women in world religions, making it relevant to both the average person and those engaged in scholarly pursuits.

Antic, Mara, Cinematic Homelands: The Cultural and Gendered Imaginaries of Iranian Diasporic Women's Filmmaking. 223 pp. 2024:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1256>
ISBN 978-3-031-69271-0 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book maps an emerging cycle of films made by Iranian diasporic women filmmakers and produced outside of Iran, focusing on five significant examples: Shirin Neshat's Women Without Men (2009), Sepideh Farsi's Red Rose (2014), Maryam Keshavarz's Circumstance (2011), Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) and Desiree Akhavan's Appropriate Behaviour (2014). These films speak to the emergence of feminist concerns surrounding gender relations, female subjectivity and sexuality in diasporic filmmaking. The book intends to show how the body of recent Iranian diasporic women's films demonstrates a substantial shift within the existing exilic and diasporic paradigm, requiring analysis of intersectional relations not only between ethnicity, culture and nationality, but also gender and sexuality. Attending closely to the vibrant feminist film culture generated by Iranian women in diaspora, this book aims to interrogate the diversity of women's filmmaking practices and their role in shaping new representations of female subjectivity and the diasporic condition.

Aughterson, Kate / Philips, Deborah (eds.), Women Experimenting in Theatre: Early Modern to Contemporary. 352 pp. 2024:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1257>
ISBN 978-3-031-63688-2 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This collection of essays, covering a broad historical range, shows that women working in theatre and drama since the time of Aphra Behn have been engaged in pushing the boundaries of conventional representation and dramaturgical convention. Collectively the authors show that women have used performing spaces as a channel for both political and personal radicalism - one that has demanded and celebrated experimentalism as a kind of survival in a male dominated world.

ISBN 978-3-031-36359-7 hard ¥37,660.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book explores contemporary women's historical fiction from global perspectives and expands substantially on existing studies by drawing on intersectional, transnational and decolonial approaches to examine texts originating in different languages and engaging with diverse time periods, contexts and cultural settings. The chapters explore how the genre of women's historical fiction unearths women's historical experiences and adds to historical narratives in order to counter and challenge colonial, heteropatriarchal 'official' histories. The collection addresses how women writers utilise the genre to reclaim personal and collective memory as well as write back into history marginalised, oppressed and overlooked subjectivities, especially those of racialised, migrant, disabled, LGBTQIA+ and other minoritised communities. Chapter 1 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com, thanks to the generous support of Trinity College Dublin Trust.

ISBN 978-3-031-68156-1 hard ¥35,306.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This volume challenges the status quo by addressing a selection of intensely discussed themes in contemporary archaeological practice from a gender perspective. It aims to demonstrate that gender is intrinsic to archaeology and that gender archaeology can enrich our studies, irrespective of the discipline's possible future directions and so-called paradigm shifts. The scholarly contributions commissioned for this volume critically discuss and reflect on a wide range of concepts, ideas, principles and theories presently applied in archaeology within the framework of gender. The chapters included in the first part deal with themes in world archaeology that have little or no focus on gender, such as the Third Science Revolution (e.g. ancient DNA, stable isotopes analyses, big data), posthumanism (e.g. new materialism, symmetrical archaeology and the ontological turn) and digital archaeology and heritage. The second part focuses on themes in which gender archaeology has made serious advances (intersectionality, social inequality, violence, mobility). The third part deals with themes crucial for contemporary archaeology and society, namely, gender education, gender representation in museum exhibitions and the future of gender archaeology. The volume concludes with a coda chapter that critically assesses the preceding contributions and the volume as a whole. The book offers a gender-balanced and inclusive authorship consisting of both well-established and early career researchers closely connected to the EAA, whose professionally, culturally and geographically diverse backgrounds and experiences enrich the viewpoints discussed in the chapters. The targeted audience is archaeologists from all theoretical and scientific backgrounds at all stages of their career.

ISBN 978-3-031-64200-5 paper ¥8,941.- (税込) EUR 37.99

This book is a long-overdue contribution to the history of Black feminist activism in the UK. It provides unique insights into both historical and contemporary issues that impact Black women, their families and their communities, including immigration, education, policing, domestic violence and poverty. It fills a void in sociological and feminist literature by centring the voices, lived experiences and perspectives of women of the African and Caribbean Diaspora in the UK. Through the use of research, archival materials, narrative interviews, photographs, poems and reflective conversations, the authors explore the social issues which inspired these women's action for change. In drawing on personal and professional testimonies grounded in over two decades of community activism and scholarly analysis, the authors weave together the story of the Abasindi Cooperative, a woman's organisation famed for its progressive and far-reaching social justice programmes. In so doing the authors reveal narratives of political struggle that have their resonance in present-day society. This book is an acknowledgment and celebration of the sociopolitical activism and achievements of Black women in the UK and represents the hope, solidarity and triumph possible when women organise collectively to tackle social and racial injustice.

Beck, Laura / Sass, Maurice (eds.), Hunting Troubles: Gender and Its Intersections in the Cultural History of the Hunt. (Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature) 364 pp. 2025:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1365>
ISBN 978-3-031-70222-8 hard ¥37,660.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This volume examines the cultural history of European and North American hunting from the Middle Ages to the present day from the perspective of gender as well as animal studies. It demonstrates that the hunting and killing of animals was (and still is) a highly codified activity that creates, reinforces, and sometimes undermines a variety of differences. This construction and deconstruction of difference applies not only to the relationship between "humanity" and "animality" but also to the relationships between human agents with respect to their gender. By applying a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, this collection dissects the many ways in which hunting-often classified as a "typically male"' activity-participates, on the one hand, in the naturalization of gender differences and related binary asymmetries but, on the other, can sometimes open up a space in which gender boundaries become unsettled and blurred. More than any other activity, the practice of hunting-which is controversial at least in terms of animal ethics-seems to lend itself to the negotiation of both what is perceived as human and what as animal and what is seen as masculine and what as feminine.

This is the first edited collection to focus on women, gender, and history education in Canada. The aim of this edited collection is threefold: to offer a historical analysis of women and gender in K-12 teaching and learning of history; to provide an examination of women and gender in relation to contemporary pedagogy, curriculum, and resources in K-12 history education and teacher education; and, to explore the future of history education when informed by intersectional feminism and gender theory. Readers are introduced to the ways in which women's historical narratives have been repeatedly marginalized, despite the efforts of feminist activists and educators. This collection is the beginning of a long overdue conversation about women and gender in how we teach and learn about the past.

In 1995, the UN vowed to advance 'equality, development and peace for all women, everywhere.' Instead, in the Beijing Declaration's thirtieth anniversary year, the world is lurching dangerously away from such democratic and progressive ideals--reinventing nationalist identities based on toxic-masculine values, and embracing economic policies against women's interests. This reality exists in every type of country. Why does oppression, rather than feminism, still dominate our world? This book reveals patriarchy's many faces in the age of globalisation, exploring the political systems and cultures of eight very different societies. It takes readers from the extraordinary anti-capitalist women's revolution in Kurdistan to the theocracies of Islamic State and Saudi Arabia; from China's one-party state to Iceland's democracy; and to South Africa, Russia and El Salvador--all radically changed since the fall of apartheid, communism and military dictatorship respectively. Despite patriarchy's remarkable shapeshifting powers to undermine feminist solidarity, Planet Patriarchy is equally a story of sisterhood and resistance, interviewing defenders of women's rights about their cause and their country. Gender inequality endures, everywhere--but so does feminism. Campbell and Gupta's fascinating discoveries show us how this timeless showdown is taking shape in, and being shaped by, the systems we live under today.

Carlson, Jessamy, Approved Schools for Girls in England, 1933-1973: 'Girls will be Girls'. (Palgrave Studies in the History of Childhood) 293 pp. 2024:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1370>
ISBN 978-3-031-65107-6 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book provides a detailed study of approved schools for girls, which operated in England and Wales between 1933-1973. Through original archival research, it traces shifting perceptions of, and policy responses to, girls' delinquency and vulnerability during a period of remarkable social change. It examines the transition of provision for girls and young women 'in trouble' from the large-scale post-Victorian reformatories to the therapeutic Community Homes for Education, and the emergence of a 'diagnostic shift' in the provision of care for children in the juvenile secure estate. Through examining the experiences of younger children, it provides a more nuanced understanding of the role approved schools played for girls in need of care, protection, or control during this period, evidencing the gendered use of care-or-protection orders throughout, and the policing of child and family behaviours under the guises of the Education Act.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the horrors inflicted by abortion bans began immediately and haven't stopped. These laws have become a tool for abusers, as pregnant people face legal harassment, reproductive coercion, and life-threatening medical trauma. Through biting analysis, Kylie Cheung argues that these aren't unintended consequences, but deliberate acts of state-perpetrated violence inflicted on women and pregnant people, particularly those with the least resources and agency under capitalism and white supremacy. Capitalism has always consciously decided whose lives are expendable. This book is for everyone coming to terms with this fact in the era of the rollback of our bodily autonomy.

This book draws together interdisciplinary perspectives to examine the legal, moral, and socio-spatial regulation of sex work in the contemporary context. With a thematic focus on the gendered landscape of sex work, formal and informal methods of socio-spatial control, and (in)access to justice, this book explores the role of space in the regulation of sex work in diverse contexts, from the local to the global. The chapters collectively bring together complex, inter-related issues that impact the lives of sex workers throughout the world, providing evidence of the impacts of regulation on sex workers and subsequent barriers to accessing justice and rights. This collection centres the regulated lives of sex workers, using an intersectional lens that highlights the gendered and racialised impacts of stigma. Incorporating knowledge derived from both academic research and lived experience, this book provides a unique contribution that will be of interest to academics and policy-makers globally.

What does it feel like to experience your body cleaving into two or more while listening to lawyers, judges, pundits, and politicians center debates about reproductive healthcare around the viability line, the fantasized moment when any fetus could be extracted from the uterus and survive? What form of subjectivity is produced by the recurrent practice of scrolling through photographs of children crushed in war while a baby sleeps beside you, indistinguishable from the dead children in expression and bodily habit? This Watery Place departs from author Emma Heaney's experiences to address these questions, which are situated between the particular historical moment of her pregnancies, of any individual pregnancy, and the transhistorical continuities of the sensations, emotions, socialities, and conceptual provocations that have long accompanied gestation. The book centers the embodied realities that are often mystified in the sentimentalizing of motherhood, a process that enables the material abandonment of those who do the labor of gestation and care, and, indeed of children. As a result, gestation is revealed as a process against cisness, wage work, and the death cult of war.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. The dead are everywhere in family life. From a great-grandmother's recipe made time and again, to a dog-eared black-and-white photo of a family on a beach, and from a carefully curated family bible to a much-told story of a family fleeing their home many decades ago, families are made by their pasts. This book examines the relationship between the living and the dead within family life, charting the way families create afterlives for their ancestors. It asks who and what gets to be remembered, and why. Considering different points of connection with the dead in each chapter-through graves, homes, things, photos, writing, research, and stories-this book demonstrates how death and the dead remain a crucial presence within family life. Through an innovative methodology of collaborative critical family history, Living with the Dead features interviews, personal archives, and the results of a collaboration with fifteen family historians, including the author's own family. What results is a unique way of exploring family pasts, of charting not only how families have remembered their dead and passed on their histories over time, but the mechanisms of how histories are constructed and shared. Living with the Dead reveals how crucial the dead and stories of them are within families, and provides new ways for historians to unpick the way history is intimately made.

This edited collection aims to look beyond established narratives of feminist history, by focusing on non-English speaking European countries. Recent scholarship on the history of the women's liberation movement in individual countries has enhanced our understanding of the importance of transnational influences in the history of European feminism, and problematised the periodisation of feminisms. Additionally, the translation of feminist practices and texts have received interest during the past years. Despite this work, the United States, and to a lesser extent the United Kingdom, are still the main points of reference in histories of post-war feminism. This book asks what happens to the picture if we place non-English speaking European countries in the centre. Using Lucy Delap's concept of 'mosaic feminism', its contributors emphasise the variety of patterns that women's feminist organising showed in different cultural contexts despite similarities in their ideological corner stones.

This book introduces mental health professionals and students to gender issues involved in professional practice, research, and teaching. The book emphasizes an intersectional and inclusive framework as an effective way to better understand gender, addressing the available evidence for defining and measuring gender and gender-related psychological processes, as well as discussing the social/political implications of gender for individuals, families, and the larger society. The authors describe racial, cultural, and ethnic underpinnings that are key to understanding the definition and impact of gender in the daily lives of individuals, families, and communities, as well as the larger society. Among the topics discussed: Cultural and historical bases of gender, especially gender roles and the gender binaryExperiences of privilege and oppressionPrejudice and discrimination based on genderIntersections of gender and social group experiences, based on race ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES) and sexual orientationCommon clinical concerns, including relationships, families, education and careerAffirmative and liberatory therapies

In the years since #MeToo, misogyny, sexism and gender based violence have flooded the news and our social media timelines. Anti-privilege politics and intersectionality have entered the mainstream-systematically trolled on one end of the spectrum; embraced, to questionable ends, on the other. But what has this increased visibility entailed, other than the marketisation of the feminist struggle? Feminism for the World argues that we have been witnessing an erasure of feminism as a long-term tradition, with its many conflicting histories and geographies of struggle elided and forgotten. In this ground-breaking collection, eight leading international figures of contemporary feminism highlight feminist struggles and traditions from the Global South, presenting feminism as a project that is impossible without international solidarity from the West. In doing so they revive an authentic internationalism and propose paths for present and future generations.

Swain, Jon, Negotiating Gendered Identities in Primary School: Children's Lives with Their Peers. 218 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1395>
ISBN 978-3-031-69183-6 hard ¥35,306.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This open access book explores young children's lives in their later years at primary school, from their own point of view. It focuses on how girls and boys experience life in their informal peer group and explores the dynamics of friendships and social hierarchies, identities and how time is spent outside of lessons, including the use of social media. The author interrogates how children make meanings: who they think they are, what it means to be a girl or a boy, and what forms of femininity and masculinity are most dominant. Findings are based on interviews conducted at a middle-class state school and a fee-paying preparatory school on the outskirts of London. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of primary education, schooling and gender, as well as primary school teachers both in the UK and internationally.

Thakkar, Amit / Baker, Brian / Harris, Chris (eds.), Border Masculinities: Literary and Visual Representations. 238 pp. 2024:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1396>
ISBN 978-3-031-68049-6 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This volume collates and examines literary and screened representations of what the editors term 'border masculinities'. It seeks to understand masculine subjectivities, through fiction and screen, within a complex global arena of relationships and fluid movements across multiple boundaries within that arena. It also concerns paradigmatic borders related to class, gender and ethnicities, as well as other theoretical parameters which cut across porous spatial boundaries. This collection contains a range of theoretically informed responses to varying cultural representations of such masculinities in Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, Australasia and Asia. Thematic and conceptual connections between them are discussed in the introductory chapter and such links are also made between chapters.

Timofeeva, Oxana, Freud's Beasty Boys: Sex, Violence and Masculinity. 130 pp. 2025:1 (Polity Pr., UK) <734-1397>

This book examines violence and sexuality after Freud. Its characters, though, are not women and men, but rather animals and children. Focusing on three famous Freudian cases in which little boys had issues with animals - Little Hans, The Rat Man, and the Wolf Man - it revises the role played by animals in male gender socialization. Timofeeva demonstrates the relevance of psychoanalysis for anyone who wants to understand how patriarchy works, but she also points to its limitations. For Freud, sexuality creates the background of our psychic lives, and unconscious sexual fantasies are the origins of psychic disorders such as hysteria, obsessions and phobias. But what are the origins of sexual fantasies? Timofeeva argues that behind psychic dramas of sexuality there is something else: a mechanism of violence which she calls 'the machine of masculinity' and which she analyses both through Freud's cases and through the lens of religion, anthropology and her own life experiences. Wolves, rats and horses are magical agents that connect us to the world of the dead - that is, to the history of our culture in which monotheism replaced totemic practices but the basic psychosocial matrix of turning love into violence continues to reproduce itself.

Tseris, Emma / Franks, Scarlett / Hart, Eva Bright, Psychiatric Oppression in Women's Lives: Creative Resistance and Collective Dissent. (The Politics of Mental Health and Illness) 228 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-1398>
ISBN 978-3-031-65067-3 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of women's experiences within mental health services, demonstrating the need for a radical paradigm shift in how women's distress and experiences are understood. Drawing on extensive fieldwork on coercive mental health treatment, including interviews, participatory action research, arts-based research, and public sociology, the book centres the knowledge, skills, and creativity of psychiatrised women. Informed by intersectional feminism and critical mental health theory, the book explores the interlocking oppressions of psychiatric harm and patriarchal power, alongside women's survivorship and resistances. Areas covered include the pathologisation of women's emotions within mental health services, violence and deprivations in involuntary treatment, the surveillance of mothering, and social exclusions arising from psychiatric diagnoses. The book highlights the ability of collective and creative research processes to move beyond the task of documenting psychiatric harm, towards imagining rich alternatives to biomedical, therapeutic, and carceral practices in mental health. It offers a critique of the notions of 'benevolence' and 'expertise', which are commonly used to justify psychiatric coercion. It will appeal to students and scholars working across the fields of critical mental health, sociology, social work, psychiatry, mental health nursing and gender studies. Emma Tseris is senior lecturer in Social Work and Policy Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, researching feminist and critical mental health theory. She is the author of Trauma, Women's Mental Health and Social Justice: Pitfalls and Possibilities (2019) and co-author of Using Social Research for Social Justice (2023). Scarlett Franks is a survivor researcher from the University of Sydney, Australia, who also serves on the Survivor College of the National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse, the board of directors of the Grace Tame Foundation, and the Advisory Panel of the NSW Office of the Anti-Slavery Commissioner. Eva Bright Hart is a feminist survivor researcher from the University of Sydney, Australia. She is a senior social worker and public health professional from a rural area. Eva is also known as a mother, teacher, gardener, cook, author, activist and artist. As a survivor of psychiatric and gendered violence Eva uses a protective pseudonym so she can contribute without the fear of further discrimination, disablement and involuntary psychiatric treatment for herself and her family. Eva means "living one".

Robertson, Megan, Called and Queer: Lived religion and LGBTQ Methodist Clergy in South Africa. (Palgrave Studies in Lived Religion and Societal Challenges) 180 pp. 2024:9 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <734-144>

This book is the first in-depth study of the lived experiences of queer Christian clergy in an African context. Using a queer lived religion framing, it draws on ethnographic research to analyse how six LGBTQ clergy understand and practice their vocation in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA). Seemingly marginalised in a denomination which maintains that marriage is only between one man and one woman, this book explores why LGBTQ clergy are motivated to live out their calling in the Church and how they make sense of their positions within it. In doing so, it looks beyond an analysis of a Church based on its official and doctrinal institutional positions on queer people and sexualities and, instead, uncovers the taken-for-granted ways that gender and sex are inscribed in 'the way we do things around here'. This book is relevant to students and researchers in gender and sexuality studies, African religious studies, and sociology of religion.

This book draws upon qualitative interviews with lower-middle class men with adult children. It provides important insight into a region of the world that has not been sufficiently studied in the field of Masculinity Studies and analyzes manhood/fatherhood from a novel perspective. It uses Margaret Wetherell's (2012) theory of "affective practice" to focus on moments men experience masculinity as "essence" and "free play" as formulated by Todd W. Reeser (2010). Elaborating on affective practices which stabilize and destabilize makbulhood, manhood, and fatherhood, it focuses on a long-excluded generation of men in the literature and illuminates men's "Iamnotlikethem" and "Iamlikeallmenontheearth" moments. It is relevant to researchers in gender studies, masculinity studies, social psychology, and family sociology.

This book seeks to contribute to reflections done on the gender equality agenda by combing through oral and written resources to unearth and document heroic displays of leadership by women of Africa in general and of Southern Africa in particular, that remain hidden under the rubble of Eurocentric, colonial and African patriarchal archive and hegemony. It seeks to open the archive of Southern Africa to unearth the names of women who have played an important role in shaping the course of Southern Africa history in every way. While acknowledging the systematic marginalisation of women's voices and identities by scribal patriarchy, the aim is to bring to life women's experiences and voices through critical engagement of sources of knowledge available to Africa in general and southern Africa in particular. The chapters of this book will contribute to the debate on gender equality and women empowerment by women themselves within the framework of Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 5.

Nomadic New Women: Exile and Border-Crossing between Spain and the Americas, Early to Mid-Twentieth Century examines how gender and sexuality, border-crossing and exile intersect in women's intellectual and artistic practices during the volatile historical period of the first half of the twentieth century, in and around Spain and the Americas. Each of the twelve chapters in this highly interdisciplinary volume analyzes the combined impact of gender and sexual identity, and the traversing of particular national and world-regional boundaries, on creative work. Together and separately, the contributors push the limits of past and present research on exile and migration, displacement and nomadism to reveal how the complex interrelationships among gender, sexuality, and cultural production come under intense pressure by the crossing of borders.

ISBN 978-3-031-66696-4 hard ¥11,766.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This open access edited volume focuses on the representations, perceptions, and experiences of women who do not have children against the backdrop of traditional gender norms, pronatalist policies, and patriarchal structures. While involuntary and voluntary childlessness have typically been treated separately and studied within different disciplines in most previous scholarship, contributing authors explore non-motherhood beyond the involuntary/voluntary divide and consider a wide range of conceptualizations of women who do not become mothers. The editors bring together a variety of perspectives from different national contexts and disciplines, including family studies, gender studies, literary and cultural studies, sociology, and film studies to explore non-motherhood. The book focuses on how women who choose or experience non-motherhood are negotiated, felt, represented, and received.
