Misogyny
New aspects of the misogyny that impacts girls and women worldwide continue to emerge every day. However, recent movements (e.g., #MeToo, Time's Up, the Women's March) indicate a strong hunger for a meaningful resource for thoughtful activists. Impassioned but practical, this book discusses the social contexts of misogyny, such as toxic masculinity and rape culture. It traces the history of misogyny and considers its meaning today-what is new and what is old. The author also proposes strategies for effective feminist action. Written for advocates of gender equality who are already aware of misogyny, the book includes Action Steps as tools for activism on both the individual and political levels. Misogyny is a timely text that offers concrete guidance as we strive for the egalitarian society that, despite all setbacks, we are capable of achieving.

Women's Issues for a New Generation
How do you "hook" a Millennial student into caring about women's issues when feminism has been declared dead for decades? Written in an engaging style that promotes critical thinking, Women's Issues for a New Generation is intended for freshman- and sophomore-level undergraduates who have never heard of Mary Wollstonecraft or Anita Hill. The interdisciplinary text includes three major sections: women in the U.S., women from diverse groups (e.g., Native American and disabled), and women in the global arena. It also stresses the inclusion of men in topics such as body image, since "women's issues" are really issues that affect everyone. Other striking features included the contemporary debates...

The Opioid Crisis
"When I first heard my classmates complain about policy classes, I had been shocked. As a history buff and news enthusiast, I loved talking about how Medicare legislation passed in 1965. Who wouldn't be intrigued by the difference between SSI and SSDI? Later when I accepted the offer to teach my first policy class, I feared that some students would dismiss it as a waste of time. I spent weeks finding material that would grab their attention and make them love policy as much as me. Shortly before the fall quarter started, I spent a week in Florida"--
Dirty Harriet
SOMETIMES, A WOMAN'S GOT TO GET DIRTY TO GET THINGS CLEAN… Leaving the glamorous Boca Raton lifestyle behind wasn't easy for Boca-born Harriet Horowitz. But when she'd asked her physically abusive husband to make her day— he'd agreed (in front of 500 people)— and Harriet became single (a widow). Though it had been a clear-cut case of self-defense, she lost everything…yet wound up finding more. Her crash from the heights of society led her to a home in the desolate, haunting Everglades, a job as a private investigator and a new identity as tough cookie Dirty Harriet. It was a new world for Harriet. Until a murder case involving vulnerable migrant women brought her back to Boca Raton and forced her to face a past she'd thought she'd left in the dust.…

Pathways to Pacifism and Antiwar Activism among U.S. Veterans
Pathways to Pacifism and Antiwar Activism among U.S. Veterans seeks to answer the question of how and why some military personnel become antiwar activists. To examine this, the authors look at the stories of 114 veterans’ pathways from a militaristic perspective to either a Just War or pacifist perspective. Identity theory provides a lens for exploring this process. The authors argue that this postservice process of identity transformation is not pathological but healthy, as it offers healing and verification of multiple roles and social aspects of the veterans’ lives.
Best Practices for Social Work with Refugees and Immigrants
Social work practice with refugees and immigrants requires specialized knowledge of these populations and specialized adaptations and applications of mainstream services and interventions. Because they are often confronted with cultural, linguistic, political, and socioeconomic barriers, these groups are especially vulnerable to psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, alienation, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as concerns arising from inadequate health care. Institutionalized discrimination and anti-immigrant policies and attitudes only exacerbate these challenges. The second edition of Best Practices for Social Work with Refugees and Immigrants offers an upda...
