Postgrowth Imaginaries
Postgrowth Imaginaries brings together environmental cultural studies and postgrowth economics to examine radical cultural shifts sparked by the global financial crisis. The globalization of an economic culture addicted to constant growth destroys the ecological planetary systems while failing to fulfil its social promises. A transition toward what Prádanos calls ‘postgrowth imaginaries’—the counterhegemonic cultural sensibilities that are challenging the growth paradigm—is well underway in the Iberian Peninsula today.
Understanding Indigenous Gender Relations and Violence
This book focuses on the inequities that are persistently and disproportionately severe for Indigenous peoples. Gender and racial based inequities span from the home life to Indigenous women’s wellness—including physical, mental, and social health. The conundrum of how and why Indigenous women—many of whom historically held respected and even held sacred status in many matrilineal and female-centered communities—now experience the highest rates of gendered based violence is focal to this work. Unlike Western European and colonial contexts, Indigenous societies tended to be organized in fundamentally distinct ways that were woman-centered and where gender roles and values were reporte...

Mama desobedient
Ser mare no és una tasca fàcil. Vivim en una societat hostil a la maternitat. No és senzill quedar-te embarassada, tenir un part respectat, donar de mamar on i quan vulguis, compaginar la criança i el mercat de treball. Tothom creu que pot jutjar-te. Sembla que hem d’escollir entre una maternitat neoliberal supeditada al mercat o una maternitat patriarcal sacrificada. Però, on queda el nostre dret a viure l’experiència materna sense imposicions? Si considerem el principi feminista que allò personal és polític, el repte consisteix a polititzar la maternitat en sentit emancipador. No es tracta d’idealitzar-la, sinó de reconèixer el seu paper fonamental en la reproducció social, atorgar-li el valor que li correspon. Un cop les dones hem acabat amb la maternitat com a destí, toca poder decidir com volem viure-la. En aquest llibre, Esther Vivas parla de temes invisibles com la infertilitat, l’embaràs, la pèrdua gestacional, el part, la violència obstètrica, el puerperi, la lactància, el negoci del biberó. Ho fa a través de l’assaig, la literatura i la seva experiència personal. Una mirada feminista i desobedient a la maternitat.
Refiguring Motherhood Beyond Biology
This book unpacks and interrogates dominant constructions of mothering, making use of interdisciplinary, ideological and theoretical perspectives to investigate how new rhetorics of mothering can expand the realm of maternal care-givers beyond the biological definitions of motherhood. This diverse collection is at the cutting-edge of rhetoric, feminism, and motherhood studies, and the chapters challenge the confines of biological parenting as heteronormative within the neo-liberal nuclear family. The contributors examine, how despite the diversity of parental relationships, many are excluded by the understanding of mothers biologically tied to their children. The volume seeks to expose the underpinnings of biological primacy and argues that 21st-century families and familial circumstances are ill-served by biological ideology. Topics include Re-Imagining Queer Black Motherhood, Chicana Feminist approaches to reproductive justice, the commercialization and medicalization of infertility, and ableism and motherhood. This is a unique and fascinating book suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, sexuality studies, communication studies, sociology, and cultural studies.
Youth in Revolt
Recently, American youth have demonstrated en masse about a variety of issues ranging from economic injustice and massive inequality to drastic cuts in education and public services. Youth in Revolt chronicles the escalating backlash against dissent and peaceful protest while exposing a lack of governmental concern for society's most vulnerable populations. Henry Giroux carefully documents a wide range of phenomena, from pervasive violent imagery in our popular culture to educational racism, censorship, and the growing economic inequality we face. He challenges the reader to consider the hope for democratic renewal embodied by Occupy Wall Street and other emerging movements. Encouraging a capacity for critical thought, compassion, and informed judgment, Giroux's analysis allows us to rethink the very nature of what democracy means and what it might look like in the United States and beyond.
