Sexuality, Human Rights, and Public Policy
Sexuality, Human Rights, and Public Policy explores the intersection of public policy, human rights, and sexuality as they relate to inclusion and exclusion across diverse cultural settings. It examines how knowledge is formed and experienced at the intersections of culture, sexuality, race, and other axes of identity. This volume engages an array of questions including how public policy shapes the conceptualization of sexuality and rights and by extension the phenomena of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary society across the world. By evaluating how public discourse is employed to re-inscribe differences of gender, sexuality, and rights of citizens, this book provides a comparative analysis of how these processes and dynamics resemble each other or differ cross-culturally. This book demonstrates that in the realm of sexualities, approached from the ideal of human rights as a predominantly Western notion is increasingly challenged by diverse views and new interpretations of human rights in non-Western societies such as Africa and the Middle East.
Sexuality, Human Rights, and Public Policy

Chinua Achebe and the Igbo-African World

Contributors study how his work draws from African historical reality and identity while challenging Western epistemological hegemony.
Gender and Sexual Identity
The first comprehensive presentation of an explicitly transgender theory. This theory goes beyond feminist and queer theory by incorporating the idea of fluid embodiment and lived experience in conceptualizing gender and sexual identity. Beyond developing a formulation of transgender theory that incorporates the socially constructed, embodied, and self-constructed aspects of identity in the narrative of lived experiences, the authors discuss the implications of this “trans-identity theory” for theory, research, and practice.
História da bruxaria em 13 julgamentos
Um relato sobre a história da bruxaria? Não! Este tema não pode se limitar somente aos livros de História! "A cada ano na África, centenas de pessoas, em sua maioria mulheres, são julgadas e mortas como bruxas." "A expressão "CAÇA ÀS BRUXAS!" é uma expressão tão comum hoje, como sempre foi no passado, e as mulheres acusadas como bruxas ainda vão a julgamento em várias partes do mundo..." Além de investigar alguns dos mais famosos casos de julgamento entre a Idade Média e o século XVIII, Marion nos leva a direções novas e surpreendentes, e como o conceito da bruxaria evoluiu da visão de uma ameaça ao Cristianismo, para a perseguição de gênero. Por meio de uma narrativa notável e dramática, que cobre os séculos e atravessa continentes, História da Bruxaria em 13 Julgamentos é um relato bem fundamentado sobre alguns dos momentos mais estranhos e cruéis da história.

Dartmouth and the World
For the 250th anniversary of the founding of Dartmouth College, the Political Economy Project at Dartmouth assembled a stellar cast of junior and senior scholars to explore the systemic conditions facing those seeking to found a new college two hundred fifty years ago. What were the key political, economic and religious parameters operating in the Atlantic world at the time of the College’s founding? What was the religious scene like at the moment when the Rev. Samson Occom of the Mohegan nation and the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock of Connecticut, two men from very different backgrounds whose improbable meeting occurred during the Great Awakening of the early 1740s, set about establishing a new school in the northern woods in the 1760s? How were the agendas of contemporaries differently mediated by the religious beliefs with which they acted, on the one hand, and the emerging thought world of political economy, very broadly understood, on the other? These are among the rich and variegated topics addressed in Dartmouth and the World, which breaks the mold of the traditional commemorative volume.
