Womanhoods and Equality in the United States
Womanhoods and Equality in the United States explores how the idea of equality has evolved along with the debates that have animated contemporary American women’s history. This book argues that “womanhood” is neither a unified concept nor a monolithic experience but rather a multifaceted notion. This collection thus looks at this plural dimension of womanhood—womanhoods—with a special focus on equality as a common goal. The authors question what equality means depending on many factors such as race, class, sexuality, education, marital or parental status, physical appearance, and political orientation, and address timely issues including abortion rights, Black womanhood, and sexual violence on college campuses. Womanhoods and Equality in the United States is an essential resource for academics and students in gender studies, American sociocultural history, and the sociology of social movements.
Made to Be Seen
Made to be Seen brings together leading scholars of visual anthropology to examine the historical development of this multifaceted and growing field. Expanding the definition of visual anthropology beyond more limited notions, the contributors to Made to be Seen reflect on the role of the visual in all areas of life. Different essays critically examine a range of topics: art, dress and body adornment, photography, the built environment, digital forms of visual anthropology, indigenous media, the body as a cultural phenomenon, the relationship between experimental and ethnographic film, and more. The first attempt to present a comprehensive overview of the many aspects of an anthropological approach to the study of visual and pictorial culture, Made to be Seen will be the standard reference on the subject for years to come. Students and scholars in anthropology, sociology, visual studies, and cultural studies will greatly benefit from this pioneering look at the way the visual is inextricably threaded through most, if not all, areas of human activity.
Femmes, sexe, genre dans l'aire anglophone
Cet ouvrage met en lumière les processus d'invisibilisation et de stigmatisation des femmes et des minorités sexuelles dans l'aire anglophone du XIXe siècle à nos jours. Les avancées dont bénéficient les femmes aujourd'hui sont le fruit d'un long et âpre combat. Ce livre veut aider à comprendre les inégalités qui persistent entre les hommes et les femmes, à travers des perspectives historiques ou littéraires.

A Place Called Hope
How far would you go to change your life? In the small American town of Hope, teenager Lucas Caldwell dreams of escaping his life. His mother, Liss, is struggling with addiction, and his sickly little brother, Reuben, would never survive her without him. His grandfather, Lucky, is dying in a care facility, his mind fading. But in a final moment of clarity, he lets slip to Lucas that he is in possession of a painting worth millions, stolen from a transport convoy in a daring heist five decades ago. As the disbelief fades, a thin hope begins to grow. But secrets as big as this rarely stay hidden for long, and as the corruption of money spreads, so does the threat of violence and bloodshed. And with hungry wolves circling the payday to end all paydays, the fallout could tear the town, and Lucas’s family, apart. Lucas would do anything to protect the people he loves. But at what cost? A gut-wrenching, utterly compelling small-town crime thriller, laying bare the corrosive nature of greed and the trials and dangers of those living on the fringes of society.
