States of Conflict
Highlighting gendered violence across layers of social and political organization, from the military to the sexual, this book explores the connections between international security, intra-state conflict and 'domestic' violence. International in scope, it makes the links between the local and the global and between the public and the private, in its discussion of gendered violence. Claiming that it is not enough to simply 'add' women to international relations theory, the contributors to this book brilliantly demonstrate how much more fruitful an in-depth analysis of the different layers of gendered violence can be. This book will be necessary reading for students and academics of women's studies, international relations and political theory.
Gender and Agrarian Reforms
The redistribution of land has profound implications for women and for gender relations; however, gender issues have been marginalised from both theoretical and policy discussions of agrarian reform. This book presents an overview of gender and agrarian reform experiences globally. Jacobs highlights case studies from Latin America, Asia, Africa and eastern Europe and also compares agrarian and land reforms organised along collective lines as well as along individual household lines. This volume will be of interest to scholars in Geography, Women’s Studies, and Economics.

The range of gender-selective atrocities inflicted upon males, especially the gendercidal killing of civilian men of "battle age."

Rethinking Anti-Racisms
This collection seeks to rethink anti-racism both in light of social changes, and also of new theoretical debates about citizenship, multiculturalism, hybridity, diaspora and social movements. As well as chapters on theoretical interventions, Rethinking Anti-Racisms has substantive chapters covering issues such as: * anti-deportation campaigns * anti-fascism * education * the Southall Black Sisters * the contradictory use of ethnicity as a way of tackling racism.
Life Has Begun
Rick Jacobs and his wife, Susie, were enjoying the perfect life: happily married for more than twenty years, four healthy children, a successful family business, and a seemingly bright and happy future. In late summer of 2001, their idyllic world was shattered when Susie fell victim to a massive heart attack at the young age of thirty-nine. Though she survived, Susie suffered brain damage that left her forever disabled and unable to care for herself or her family. Rick's sudden role of caregiver to his wife and, essentially, single parent to his children challenged him beyond anything he had ever known. Adding to his ever-increasing stress was the ordeal of filing for bankruptcy and the loss of their cherished family business and weekend cabin retreat. Finding strength from within, his family, a special friend, and, especially, from God, Rick persevered. Slowly, he was able to move on, put the past behind him, and once again experience joy in his life. Life Has Begun, the sequel to Let Life Begin, details the remarkable journey of Rick and his family as they move beyond tragedy to healing through love, tears, and prayer.
Gender and Rural Globalization

The themes covered are: gender and mobility, gender and agriculture, Gender and rural politics, rurality and Gender identity and women and international development. Each theme has an overview of the state of the art in that specific thematic area and integrates the case-studies that follow.
