Hedy
Waar Hedy d Ancona ook komt, ze trekt de aandacht, al een leven lang. Na een gevarieerde en enerverende loopbaan in het cabaret, bij de televisie, als oprichtster van Opzij en Man Vrouw Maatschappij (MVM) en geruime tijd in de Haagse en Europese politiek, behoort Hedy D Ancona nu tot de inner circle van het Amsterdamse culturele leven, samen met haar partner Aat Veldhoen. In dit verhaal zoomt Leonoor Meijer in op twee kernthema s die Hedy s leven in grote lijnen hebben bepaald. Als Hedy nog maar een kind is, komt haar Joodse vader om in een Pools werkkamp bij Auschwitz en komt haar moeder er alleen voor te staan. Dat deze gebeurtenissen een diepe indruk bij Hedy achterlaten blijkt uit de strijd die zij in haar persoonlijke en politieke leven voert voor een fatsoenlijk immigratiebeleid en feminisme. Wat ze ook onderneemt, in alles voelt Hedy de noodzaak geen dag onbenut te laten. Omdat ze beseft `hoeveel benarder het leven kan zijn .
My Personal Story
This book tells the story of Andrew Pearce MEP (Member of the European Parliament), who represented half a million people living in Merseyside and Cheshire at Strasbourg for ten years. It’s a human story, a down to earth account of what the daily job of an MEP is like. When Andrew applied to be a candidate in the first direct elections to the European Parliament in 1979, he could not have foreseen the places he would visit, the people he would meet and the actions he would be part of. Andrew had no knowledge that he’d be arrested ‘at gunpoint’ on a ferry on the Zambezi, bitten by a monkey in Sierra Leone and spend a night in a former Portuguese Army brothel in Angola. He expected to ...
United in Diversity
What are the future perspectives for Jews and Jewish networks in contemporary Europe? Is there a new quality of relations between Jews and non-Jews, despite or precisely because of the Holocaust trauma? How is the memory of the extermination of 6 million European Jews reflected in memorial events and literature, film, drama, and visual arts media? To what degree do European Jews feel as integrated people, as Europeans per see, and as safe citizens? An interdisciplinary team of historians, cultural anthropologists, sociologists, and literary theorists answers these questions for Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany. They show that the Holocaust has become an enduring topic in public among Jews and non-Jews. However, Jews in Europe work self-confidently on their future on the "old continent," new alliances, and in cooperation with a broad network of civil forces. Non-Jewish interest in Jewish history and the present has significantly increased over decades, and networks combatting anti-Semitism have strengthened.

Communication and Identity in the Diaspora
"If my feet are in Amsterdam, my head and heart are in Turkey." This is the dilemma of the Turkish "guestworkers" in Christine Ogan's fascinating new work on the Netherland's migrant population. Ogan explores the explosive impact the Turkish media has had on this particular diasporic community as they struggle to adapt to life in the West and to redefine their personal and collective identity. Never before have people who lived in adopted lands had such immediate and pervasive access to information and entertainment from their birth countries. Communication and Identity documents how these newly available communication media have enabled migrants to maintain a connection with their ethnic culture, a psychological comfort zone that minimizes estrangement from Turkey, and exacerbates the separation from Dutch public life. Not only a superb case study on how the Netherlands' Turkish community defines itself, this remarkable book's message resonates across the wider European debate currently raging on immigration.
The Double Voice of Her Desire
This is a comprehensive collection of the late scholar’s groundbreaking work in feminist biblical interpretation, in English translation.

Het persoonlijke wordt politiek
Studie over de bewustwording van vrouwen tijdens de tweede feministische golf, waarin vrouwen op zoek gingen naar hun authentieke, vrouwelijke 'ik'. Die zoektocht nam steeds radicaler vormen aan, met als gevolg dat veel vrouwen een politieke keuze voor homoseksualiteit maakten en dat lesbische vrouwen zich tot de priesterkaste van het feminisme opwierpen.
From Global to Grassroots
This examination of the European Union and efforts to combat violence against women provides an empirical feminist analysis of the transnational strategies and processes that connect global and grassroots advocacy efforts. It looks beyond policy rhetoric to examine the extent to which this important human rights issue is being addressed.

Social Perspectives in Lesbian and Gay Studies
This comprehensive reader brings a social science perspective to an area hitherto dominated by the humanities. Through it, students will be able to follow the story of how sociology has come to engage with gay and lesbian issues from the 1950s to the present, from the earliest research on the underground worlds of gay men to the emergence of queer theory in the 1990s. Bringing together classic readings and the best work of younger scholars from all parts of the English-speaking world, this reader will be an invaluable resource for courses at undergraduate and graduate level in all areas of the sociology of sexuality and gender. Separate sections cover: * theoretical foundations * identity and community making * institutions and social change * challenges for the future. Each section begins with an introduction giving readers a brief guide to the readings in that section, contextualises them and relates them to one another and the book ends with an afterword by Ken Plummer summing up the present state of play and looking forward to the future.
