Brings the subject matter of sociology to life for students. Linking theory and practice, this textbook explores how sociological knowledge is used in the community to fight for social change and justice.
This thirteenth volume in the series addresses an increasingly salient worldwide research, design, and policy issue-women and physical environments. We live in an era of worldwide social change. Some nation-states are fracturing or disintegrating, migrations are resulting from political up heavals and economic opportunities, some ethnic and national animosi ties are resurfacing, and global and national economic systems are under stress.

LUCY’S STORY—A HORSE’S TAIL is told by an Arabian Mare who begins her life on a horse farm in upstate New York. As a young filly she develops a deep love for her mother and her best friend, Elmira; but their relationships are shattered when Lucy is sold. After being sold a second time, she finds herself in the hands of a horse trader/trainer named Nick. While in his stable, Lucy lives in a damp, dark stall twenty-two hours a day and becomes very mean-spirited under his less than kind treatment. Then one day a middle-aged woman, named Susan, falls in love with Lucy’s big brown eyes, and their lives are never the same. Susan rescues Lucy, and they form a bond that lasts a lifetime. Throughout the book, life lessons are taught, mostly by Lucy and her best horse-friend, Sly, as love, friendship, freedom, hardship, and disappointment share the spotlight. While some chapters are dramatized or even fabricated to add interest for the reader, most of the incidents and adventures are real. Lucy was a high spirited horse with a great personality.
This collection demonstrates the diversity of women's struggles against problems such as racism, violence, homophobia, focusing on the complex ways that gender, culture, race-ethnicity and class shape women's political consciousness in the US.

This book includes essays that directly uncover how power asymmetries and related forms of marginalization and oppression function in the political and policy arenas with a special emphasis on the intersection of several systems of subordination. This edited volume tackles two main questions: first, what are the main claims, struggles, and possibilities of contemporary intersectional feminisms; and second, how shall we, as scholars, address intersectional (feminist) activisms in our research – theoretically, methodologically, and empirically. These issues are debated from several intersectional (feminist) perspectives, locations, and positionalities. The globally oriented and empirically g...
