This bold and timely anthology interrogates the British monarchy through the lens of race, gender, and postcolonial critique. The contributors of ten original essays use Meghan Markle's public life and identity as a nexus for understanding the enduring legacies of empire, white supremacy, and institutional exclusion.

Each chapter blends academic analysis with the authors' own lived experiences and identities, creating a deeply engaging and multifaceted narrative. Essays cover media representation, mental health, motherhood, and the politics of belonging.

Written in an accessible and engaging style, this volume speaks to readers interested in the intersections of monarchy, race, feminism, and celebrity culture. Through its interdisciplinary approach and critical insight, these essays reveal how one woman's experience within the royal family brings into focus broader social and historical processes of racial identity making and colonial power. This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the cultural and political significance of Meghan Markle's story-and what it tells us about the world we live in.

With a qualitative case study of two university campuses in the United States, Ingrid E. Castro examines experiences of students in forming and sustaining close interracial friendships.

The data in this book are comprised of interviews with students conducted at two predominantly white institutions in the early 2000s, illuminating how women of various races struggled to find commonality across difference, particularly in relation to racism, white privilege and experiences with stereotyping, microaggressions and segregation on campuses. Taking a feminist approach attending to gender, race and class inequality, Castro contributes autoethnographic recollections of her experiences as a multiethnic Latina college student in the early 1990s. She then analyses Xennial women's experiences with the benefit of contemporary frameworks and theories on gendered friendships, parental protectionism, campus climate and race relations, and explores the social and academic spaces of campus, which include interest groups, classrooms, majors, and dorms as sites of interaction. The conclusion reflects on the ideology of meritocracy and current DEI efforts on campuses in the U.S., suggesting institutional and policy changes to better campus climate and increase the potential for interracial friendship formation for students. A rich, honest and detailed account of relationships emerges with significant implications for the field of friendship studies and the sociology of higher education.

Gender, Race, Inequality and Student Friendship in Higher Education is essential reading for those interested in how universities must move forward in addressing gender, race and class relations on university campuses.

'A most fascinating and wonderful book' - Helen Pankhurst CBE

This book tells the story of the British 'votes for women' campaign in a sequence of 100 objects. From the beginning of the campaign in 1866 until all women were granted the vote on the same terms as men in 1928, women used every means in their power to persuade the government to allow them the right to elect members of parliament. Through the analysis of an astonishing array of objects - including books, bags, petitions, posters, postcards, plays, photographs, china, chess sets, leaflets, newspapers, games, jewellery, scarves, badges, belts, sashes, rosettes, films, and figurines - The British Women's Suffrage Movement in 100 Objects explores the role that material culture played in this vital struggle.

Elizabeth Crawford looks at how, during the sixty-year campaign, items that played any part in life were put to work for 'votes for women', as suffrage activists both used and abused buildings, transport, and communications. These included not only objects created by the campaigners to influence public opinion, but also those produced by commercial firms to capitalise on the extraordinary publicity generated by the 'votes for women' movement.

Every one of the 100 objects included in this highly illustrated book represents a stage in the journey to equal citizenship. Among them are many our ancestors could have had in their homes or noticed in the street. Using the words of suffrage campaigners and their contemporaries, the accompanying text sets each object in context, with passages explaining politics and key personalities included throughout.

In Animated Queerness: LGBTQIA+ Representation in Animated Media, scholars from different fields come together to examine the ways and mechanisms animated films represent, suppress, encode, and celebrate queer narratives.

This edited volume traces LGBTQIA+ animated audiovisual works across multiple decades, genres, and media platforms, while it explores implicit and explicit representation, fan creativity and intervention, corporate and social censorship, and global circulation.

The volume is divided into four parts. Part I includes historical and transnational approaches that highlight the queer legacies of creators such as Tove Jansson and Kunihiko Ikuhara. Part II examines how audiences use fan-made content and interpretative techniques to change canonical narratives. Part III analyzes global politics of representation, including censorship and intersectionality. Finally, Part IV studies the ways contemporary animated audiovisual works experiment with queer futurities, posthumanism, and alternative temporalities.

In bringing these essays together, this book argues that animation provides a fruitful space for creating queer worlds in which characters, storylines, and audiences perform fluid identities and imagine new modes of connection and empathy.

Discover the social, economic, demographic, and public health impacts that child marriage has within the cultures and countries that practice it.

Around the globe, one in five girls under age 18 are married, and this number can double in areas affected by poverty, conflict, and other humanitarian crises. Child marriage, especially when accompanied by early and frequent pregnancy, often has sharply negative effects on female health, fertility, and mortality. In a wider context, child marriage influences population dynamics, economic development, and many other aspects of the cultures in which it is practiced.

Part I of this book features a collection of essays examining the drivers and consequences of modern-day child marriage. Part II profiles 30 cultures that engage in child marriage around the globe, including in countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. These case studies allow readers to uncover the similarities and differences in patterns of child marriage across cultures and geographies, providing a more nuanced understanding of this complex and controversial subject.

An international cross-regional and cross-cultural comparison of how women experience incarceration, encompassing various historical, social, economic, and systemic factors unique to those regions.

The issue of women's imprisonment is a complex and multifaceted one, as women face unique challenges behind bars, compared to their male counterparts. Although imprisoned women around the world may share common hardships, their experiences also vary according their specific social and regional circumstances.

This volume takes a global view of incarcerated women, examining the cultural, historical, economical, and political influences that affect their imprisonment. Addressing the historical context of women's prisons across all geographical regions of the world, each chapter dives deep into the local female incarceration trends over time, and the influencing laws and policies; the physical and mental health issues women face in prison, including mental illness, substance abuse, sexual abuse, and pregnancy; as well as re-entry programs, recidivism, and policy reform.

Written by an expert in the field of criminal justice and gender studies, this is a useful primer for research into the topic of women and incarceration around the world.

Harking from Aotearoa New Zealand, this book provides an account of the postqualitative approaches employed to map the worlds of four trans secondary students and the possibilities for gender justice that these worlds offer. Reading these maps through an agential realist lens affords a sense of the material-discursive, multiplicitous, dis/continuous, and more-than-human becoming of these students, their genderings, and the worlds that co-constitute them. These dynamics are a hauntological matter: the im/possibilities of students' presents are never simply here-now, entangled with pasts that have (not) been and futures that will (never) be. This is manifestly evident in the way the colonial invention of gender haunts students' worlds, constraining response-abilities, but also in the wondrous potentialities that lie in wait at the edge of possibility, reminding us that more just worlds are always already present (even if only as exclusions). An agential realist ethics of response-ability requires tracing the entanglements that constitute the ongoing reconfiguration of relations that embody reality, or spacetimematterings, as a means of renegotiating im/possibilities.

In Fearless Philanthropy, Roberta Brandes Gratz tells the story of Edith Rosenwald Stern-rich, progressive, and Jewish-who arrived in New Orleans in 1921, the wife of successful cotton broker Edgar Bloom Stern. Edith encountered a city rife with racism and antisemitism, and run by a set of entrenched social rules that she was not about to abide by. Her father, Julius Rosenwald of Sears & Roebuck, one of the richest men in America, had begun transforming lives of Black Americans in the South through his efforts to promote Black education. Edith proceeded to follow in his footsteps, and with her willing partner Edgar helped revolutionize aspects of New Orleans still visible today.

In telling the story of the Sterns, Gratz spotlights the outsider category of Jews in New Orleans, the specific impacts of the Mardi Gras social structure upon them, and the Sterns' influence on education in the South. Edith founded two pioneering educational institutions, while Edgar led a biracial group in the founding of Dillard University and Flint-Goodridge Hospital to serve the Black community. In 1947, Edgar purchased New Orleans radio station WDSU for son Edgar Jr. to run, and a year later Edgar Jr. opened WDSU-TV, the sixth major television station in the South. WDSU editorials favoring school integration, together with Edith's financial support of the desegregation campaign of the local women's group Save Our Schools, had a great impact during a volatile time. Edgar's rebuilding of the St. Louis Hotel (now the Royal Orleans), begun in the late 1940s and continued throughout the next decade, helped initiate the revitalization of the deteriorating French Quarter. As if that weren't enough, the Sterns led the development of Pontchartrain Park, the first Black middle-class housing development in the United States backed by the FHA.

Gratz's passionate account of Edith and Edgar Stern, showing how they grappled with issues of Black rights, philanthropy, civil rights, education, historic preservation, and the arts in a political and social climate antagonistic to change, provides a fascinating chronicle of New Orleans during a period of pivotal development.

This book brings together the latest research on menopause and digital health technology. It provides an overview of the emerging digital technology landscape with regards to the menopause and provides valuable insights into the role digital technology can play in supporting women through menopause. The book includes an introduction to some of the digital technologies currently supporting menopause, empirical insights into women's experiences of using digital technology to support menopause, an understanding of key features of information and support in menopause and how different platforms relate to these different features. It outlines the changing landscape of digital menopause information alongside identification of ongoing and future research considerations, alongside a critical perspective on the claims of menopause technologies and foregrounds women's experiences of menopause in relation to digital technology.

El Salvador Reborn examines the nation's efforts to reshape its identity after the Peace Accords amid declining Cold War tensions. The book explores the criminalization of abortion and environmental activism in postwar El Salvador by focusing on two key organizations, Agrupacion Ciudadana por la Despenalizacion del Aborto and Foro del Agua, highlighting their political strategies during a critical moment in El Salvador's formation.

Author Mellissa Linton-Villafranco critically analyzes the political shift under the right-wing party, which sought to redefine notions of life and sovereignty. Historically associated with death squads, the right repositioned itself as a pro-life force by criminalizing abortion, amending the constitution to declare life begins at conception, and imposing penalties of up to thirty years. These measures marginalized women's autonomy, creating a repressive legal environment centered on fetal rights. In response, feminist groups mobilized through protests, online campaigns, transnational alliances, and public art, advocating for reproductive justice that encompasses gender-based violence, health, and environmental sustainability.

Linton-Villafranco makes the case for a holistic conception of life that integrates land, body, and community sovereignty, weaving reproductive justice with environmental activism to promote a broader, interconnected understanding of life and rights in El Salvador.

How can research move from observation to transformation without sacrificing rigor? This volume brings together cultural, feminist, decolonial, and community-engaged approaches that make voices too often silenced in mainstream psychology both audible and authoritative. Across 2 volumes, spanning gender equity, mental health, education, and community development, contributors from Latin America and Spain present grounded research designs, dialogic analyses, and creative artefacts that reconfigure who speaks and what counts as knowledge. The collection is a call to humanize academia and broaden the methodological horizons of the social sciences, proposing an ethical framework that redistributes epistemic authority.

In this first volume, focusing on feminist and gender-sensitive research and mental health, chapters interrogate diagnosis and discourse through phenomenology and psychoanalysis, co-produce knowledge with survivors and caregivers, and pilot arts-based, participatory designs that support recovery. Grounded in concrete field projects, the book offers a tested methodological toolkit. Its contributions foreground the agency and subjectivity of research participants, and scholar-practitioners with "one foot on the street and one in the university."

Read alongside Volume 2, which extends this into research on education and community development, the two-volume set traces how participatory methodologies travel across contexts while remaining locally situated. By centring the research subject, the book challenges dominant assumptions and prevailing power structures, opening new avenues for intervention and inquiry. It will be essential reading for students and scholars in critical psychology, mental health, medical anthropology, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and public policy.

In Reframing the Long 1960s Estella Tincknell explores the way British crime films and television series made during or about that extended decade have been marked by ongoing tensions between nostalgic myths of masculinity, power and whiteness and attempts to challenge or transform those dominant narratives.

Tincknell blends cultural analysis and original research with close reading to examine a wide variety of crime subgenres from police procedurals and heist films to gangster narratives and thrillers, comparing the approaches of texts such as Z-Cars (1962-1978), Robbery (1967), Get Carter (1971) and The Sweeney (1975-1978) with those of period dramas aimed at twenty-first century audiences, including The Great Train Robbery (2013), Legend (2015), The Trial of Christine Keeler (2019) and Endeavour (2012-2023). Tincknell identifies the important intersections between text, genre, nostalgia and popular memory as she traces how persistent myths about crime and criminality-and about "the long 1960s" as a defining period for British cultural identity-have been represented and recirculated.

While social oppression is typically framed in terms of prejudice and hate, D. Travers Scott contends that discrimination against marginalized groups is often rooted in a shockingly banal perspective: they simply get in the way.

Focusing primarily on disabled persons and queer persons in addition to other marginalized demographics including non-Christians and the aged, this book draws on histories and discourses of industrialization, technology, and modernist ideals of efficiency to propose a theory of discriminatory convenience.

Convenient Discrimination places representations of queerness and disability in media texts ranging from Appalachian folk songs to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) within the context of both historic and contemporary discussions surrounding health, media, technology, and social movements to form a variety of compelling case studies. These analyses are further bolstered by Scott's own autoethnographic accounts as a queer, formerly disabled activist-scholar.

This book skillfully combines media studies and archival research to articulate a nuanced cultural politics of convenient discrimination, ultimately demonstrating the utility of inconvenience as an analytic.

Between 1880 and 1910, as Jim Crow's legal apparatus transformed Louisiana's complex racial landscape into a stark binary, Creole women fought to preserve their community's distinctive identity through the most ordinary acts of daily life. In their households, they cultivated kinship arrangements that prioritized mutual care over conventional family structures. In workshops and factories, they navigated the degradation of traditional occupations while strategically avoiding associations with Black women's labor. In churches, they deployed Catholic sacraments to formalize social bonds and secure legal protections. In courtrooms, they exploited Louisiana's racial ambiguities to defend their families and assert their claims to elevated status. Through these seemingly mundane spheres of daily existence, Creole women resisted the racial order that sought to collapse all people of African descent into a single category of Blackness.

Making Creole: Women and the Creole Community in Early Jim Crow New Orleans examines how Creole women took action against the systematic erosion of their privileges. As Louisiana moved from recognizing the legal status of free people of color to enforcing rigid Jim Crow segregation, Creole women became the primary architects of sociocultural preservation. Before the Civil War, Louisiana law had distinguished all free persons of African descent as legally separate from both enslaved persons and white people, granting them specific rights and privileges based on their "free" status rather than their complexion alone. The end of slavery eliminated this legal distinction. By the early twentieth century, Jim Crow legislation systematically forced all people of African descent into a single racialized category of Blackness, erasing the complex racial hierarchies that had previously structured Louisiana society. In this context, Creole women's labor in managing complex kinship networks, preserving Franco-Catholic traditions, policing community boundaries, and strategically navigating legal institutions constituted essential political work that sustained not just families but an entire ethnic community under siege.

Using an innovative "speculative demography" methodology, Natasha L. McPherson analyzes more than nine thousand transcribed records from census data, court documents, and Catholic church registers, including materials from the Sisters of the Holy Family, to reconstruct patterns of Creole women's resistance between 1880 and 1910. Making Creole moves beyond traditional narratives of political organizing to illuminate how women's everyday practices became mechanisms of ethnic identity formation and cultural survival, revealing resistance from the intimate spaces where it actually occurred.

This book considers the apparent invisibility of lesbianism throughout the literary history of the Hispanic Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic), specifically during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries (1970s-2010s). The book looks at the way in which certain circumstances simultaneously hide, regulate, and allow the expression of what are considered sexual "deviancies." It observes the methods through which alternative female sexualities have been previously silenced or represented only at the symbolic level and explores the reasons why lesbian characters have only recently found public and open representation within the literature of the islands. Therefore, the book aims to present a history of female characters who love women, thus instituting a lesbian literary canon in the Hispanic Caribbean.

Queer Mother Memoir: Experiments in Life/Narrative curates an archive of memoirs, published 1997 to the present, in order to define and complicate "queer mother memoir" as an emergent literary genre. Through careful readings of life narratives, including her own, Silbergleid offers these radical autotheoretical texts as a challenge to scholarship that has yet to critically examine, much less embrace, queer motherhood.

Examines feminist strategies of persistence and adaptation in Central America from the 1980s to 2020.

A Praxis of Persistence establishes persistence as a framework for understanding methods of feminist activism in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Blending literary and ethnographic approaches, Kenna Neitch analyzes texts produced by activist movements from the 1980s to 2020-from collective testimonio to institutional publications (encuentros) to social media-and connects them to the movements' cultural impact and organizing practices, such as generative conflict, horizontal cross-border networks, and what she terms strategic adaptability. What these texts and practices have in common, Neitch argues, is feminist persistence-a balance of action, preservation, and creation adaptable across contexts. A Praxis of Persistence provides one of the first scholarly accounts of #MeToo in Central America while remaining grounded in the region's lineage of activism against sexual violence. Through the framework of persistence, this book highlights the vitality of Central American women's activism and offers a repertoire of methods for reckoning with the realities of uneven progress in feminist struggle.

For decades, trans studies and queer theory have treated the trans body as a theoretical construct - a site for identity, dysphoria, and gender politics - leaving erotic realities largely unexamined. Desire, pleasure, and real sex has been pushed to the margins, rendered almost unspeakable.

This book challenges that silence. It asks why sexuality - once a privileged site of inquiry in queer theory - has all but vanished from trans scholarship, and what this erasure reveals about the politics of respectability, cisnormativity, and the lingering discomfort with bodies that refuse to behave "properly."

Through rigorous analysis and intimate narrative, the book explores how bodies do things - and how different bodies do different things - shaping possibilities for desire, sensation, and intimacy. It interrogates the cultural and academic forces that have de-sexed trans subjects, examines the aesthetic and linguistic struggles around naming and eroticizing trans bodies, and charts a path toward a trans studies that embraces the messy, fleshy, and truly human dimensions of sexuality.

Both provocative and personal, this book insists that there can be no real account of gender without a reckoning with sex. It is a call to bring pleasure back into the conversation - not as an afterthought, but as a vital site of knowledge, resistance, and joy.

Shows how communities across the Americas transform their grief over murdered and missing trans and non-trans women, girls, and two-spirit people into powerful social movements that challenge state violence and demand justice.

A groundbreaking and transnational examination of gender-based violence, Mourning and Mobilization in the Americas reimagines how we understand the relationship between grief and political action. Lydia Huerta Moreno brings together the work of activists, scholars, artists, writers, and influencers from 1994 to 2023 to chronicle the intersection of activism with the rise of social media and the eventual implementation of legislation codifying woman killing as a crime. Expanding the concept of feminicide to encompass trans women, two-spirit people, and missing and murdered women and girls across the Americas, Huerta Moreno illuminates the deep connections between different forms of gender-based violence across the Americas and weaves together questions of race, class, gender, and immigration status. Through innovative and sensitive analysis of postmortem politics, the book reveals how communities transform profound loss into powerful social movements, from Mexico to Brazil to the United States and Canada and beyond. With a foreword by Sayak Valencia, Mourning and Mobilization in the Americas is a must-read for activists, scholars, and anyone concerned with human rights, revealing how grief can spark resistance against systemic violence and government inaction.

Women, Peace and Security in Canada and the United States critically examines the challenges and contradictions of implementing the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda within the highly polarised political landscapes of Canada and the United States. In an era marked by democratic strain and shifting security priorities, A Fragmented Peace brings together leading scholars, policymakers, and civil society actors to explore how WPS is being implemented, challenged, and reimagined across diverse contexts-from defence institutions and legislative frameworks to grassroots activism and transnational partnerships.

The book interrogates the limits of state-centric and multilateral approaches while foregrounding the central role of civil society in sustaining and advancing the agenda. Spanning themes such as militarisation, digital threats, settler colonial legacies, youth leadership, masculinities, LGBTQI+ inclusion, and climate security, the book provides a nuanced and intersectional analysis of WPS in North America. Grounded in both empirical case studies and critical reflection, it not only diagnoses the fractures shaping contemporary WPS efforts but also identifies pathways for more inclusive, accountable, and contextually rooted feminist peacebuilding.

Women, Peace and Security in Canada and the United States will appeal to those working on foreign policy, defence, peacebuilding, and civil society advocacy, particularly where the WPS agenda is being implemented or contested.
