As austerity measures continue throughout Europe, its effects are felt differently by different groups of citizens. This book looks at how minority women in France and Britain have coped with austerity. Crucially, it casts them not as passive victims, but as active agents finding ways to survive, using their race, class, gender, and legal status as resources for collective action at a moment when left-wing politics and non-governmental organizations have failed them. Making use of in-depth case studies, Minority Women and Austerity offers an unprecedented look at the changing relationship among the state, the market, and civil society, and the opportunities and dilemmas that creates for minority women. | Author: Bassel, Leah|Emejulu, Akwugo | Publisher: Policy Press | Publication Date: Aug 12, 2017 | Number of Pages: 168 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover/Social Science | ISBN-10: 1447327136 | ISBN-13: 9781447327134

Book Synopsis A basic guide to reading the Bible from the perspective of the poor, oppressed, and marginalized. This readable and provocative introduction to hermeneutics emphasizes how issues of race, class, and gender influence our reading and understanding. Reading the Bible from the Margins begins where other texts fail to go: with the perspectives of those who society ignores. De La Torre shows how traditional or standard ways of approaching the Bible can be unacceptable to those who are discriminated against, and that the insights and understandings of biblical texts from the margins are enriching and valuable to all readers. Review Quotes This innovative resource is filled with considerable multicultural capital that can help many better understand the sad persistence of many 'great divides' in a nation that is so ready to proclaim to the world 'United We Stand!'--Cain Hope Felder, Howard University School of Divinity Global in outlook, this volume highlights perspectives on the Bible from Korean Minjung to Mujerista . . . . Timely and challenging, it raises pertinent questions for mainstream biblical scholarship.--R.S. Sugirtharajah, University of Birmingham About the Author Miguel A. De La Torre, a Cuban American, teaches at the Iliff School of Theology, Denver, CO. In addition to serving as president of the Society of Christian Ethics he is author of many articles and books including Doing Christian Ethics from the Margins, Liberating Jonah, and Trails of Hope and Terror: Testimonies on Immigration.

Feminist Disney calls the Mouse on its issues with gender, race, and more.

This book presents new interdisciplinary and intersectional research about women as mothers, highlighting that alternative accounts of mothering can challenge normative societal assumptions and broaden understandings of women as mothers, mothering and motherhoods. Mothering occurs within unequal power relations associated with the disadvantages and privileges of an unjust and patriarchal society. Social inequalities associated with gender, race, class, age, ability, sexuality, violence and nationalism intersect in the lives of women as mothers, to shape their lived experiences and perspectives on mothering. Showcasing the breadth and depth of feminist research on mothering, this book gives attention to the diversity of ways in which mothering is constructed and responded to as well as how mothering is experienced. Drawing on intersectional feminist thought, the book challenges normative visions of 'good mothering' and interrogates constructs of 'bad mothering'. It brings together insights from multidisciplinary scholars who use feminist approaches in their research on mothering, to inform policy development and practice when working with women as mothers in diverse circumstances. Intersections of Mothering highlights the complexities of mothering in a contemporary world, show the benefits of considering mothering through an intersectional feminist lens, make visible lived experiences of mothers and provides challenges to dominant imaginings of and service responses to women as mothers. Intersections of Mothering will be essential reading for interdisciplinary scholars and students in criminology, gender and women's studies, motherhood studies, social welfare, social work, social policy and public health policy, in addition to practitioners and policy workers that respond to women as mothers. | Author: Taylor & Francis Group | Publisher: Routledge | Publication Date: 2-Aug-21 | Number of Pages: 228 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1032082968 | ISBN-13: 9781032082967

The four book series Technology in Our Time thoughtfully examines a broad range of topics and issues central to the study of new media. Volume II: The Stakes of Digital Inclusion examines patterns of differentiated use that characterize participation in the Information Society. The digital divide may be rooted in race, class, gender, level of education, age, or ability. The volume moves from a discussion of one society digitally divided, to seeking solutions that enable the bridging of that divide. Through the readings students will learn about the internet and social inequalities, the digital production gap, and differing usage patterns in rural and urban societies. In a time when digital access and inclusion can easily be taken for granted, this volume provides an eye-opening look at the importance of such inclusion, and the potential consequences of exclusion.

With roots in race and gender discord, has the “tomboy” label worn out its welcome? An Object Lesson.

Reading This Is Not a Test didn’t feel like reading an “education” book. It wasn’t work. It was like talking to someone I know.

This book is printed on demand and delivery will take  approx 5 weeks. First published in 1997, this book identifies the problems that face black women in the criminal justice system as the result of the articulation of unequal and oppressive class, race and gender relations; the research aims to be aware of all three rather than prioritising, isolating or reducing one or two of these relations. The focus of this research primarily on black women is based on the belief that they are marginalised in both society and criminological research. Black women are poorly represented in education, employment, the professions, commerce, industry and politics while in prison their presence is highly disproportionate to their wider numbers in society.The author examines the problems facing black women and compares these with those facing black men and white women to demonstrate the articulation of social relations. He addresses the structural positions of black women in society, their social relations and the nature of the institutional practices of the criminal justice system.
