Book Synopsis Women's Voices from the Margins by : Elizabeth Swart
Download or read book Women's Voices from the Margins written by Elizabeth Swart and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s Voices from the Margins explores the coping strategies, agency, and resilience of women living in Kibera, Kenya—one of Africa’s largest slums. Based on a multi-year research project in which the author analyzed the diaries of 20 young women from Kibera, this thought-provoking book describes the women’s lives, the realities of gender-based violence, and their responses and coping strategies. Drawing on both qualitative journal accounts and quantitative surveys, Elizabeth Swart reveals the agency and strength of these women, who create opportunities for themselves and their children despite the violence and extreme poverty that are a daily actuality of life in Kibera. Taking a global feminist perspective, the author considers the women’s lives in the larger context of urbanization, globalization, and neo-liberal social policies. By presenting the voices of the young women alongside rich scholarly analysis, this engaging text will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of gender and women’s studies, sociology, international social work, and global studies.

Book Synopsis Leadership From the Margins by : Serena Cosgrove
Download or read book Leadership From the Margins written by Serena Cosgrove and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-23 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have experienced decades of economic and political repression across Latin America, where many nations are built upon patriarchal systems of power. However, a recent confluence of political, economic, and historical factors has allowed for the emergence of civil society organizations (CSOs) that afford women a voice throughout the region. Leadership from the Margins describes and analyzes the unique leadership styles and challenges facing the women leaders of CSOs in Argentina, Chile, and El Salvador. Based on ethnographic research, Serena Cosgrove's analysis offers a nuanced account of the distinct struggles facing women, and how differences of class, political ideology, and ethnicity have informed their outlook and organizing strategies. Using a gendered lens, she reveals the power and potential of women's leadership to impact the direction of local, regional, and global development agendas.

Book Synopsis Vamping the Stage by : Andrew N. Weintraub
Download or read book Vamping the Stage written by Andrew N. Weintraub and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of modernity has typically focused on Western male actors and privileged politics and economy over culture. The contributors to this volume successfully unsettle such perspectives by emphasizing the social history, artistic practices, and symbolic meanings of female performers in popular music of Asia. Women surfaced as popular icons in different guises in different Asian countries through different routes of circulation. Often, these women established prominent careers within colonial conditions, which saw Asian societies in rapid transition and the vernacular and familiar articulated with the novel and the foreign. These female performers were not merely symbols of times that were rapidly changing. Nor were they simply the personification of global historical changes. Female entertainers, positioned at the margins of intersecting fields of activities, created something hitherto unknown: they were artistic pioneers of new music, new cinema, new forms of dance and theater, and new behavior, lifestyles, and morals. They were active agents in the creation of local performance cultures, of a newly emerging mass culture, and the rise of a region-wide and globally oriented entertainment industry. Vamping the Stage is the first book-length study of women, modernity, and popular music in Asia, showcasing cutting-edge research conducted by scholars whose methods and perspectives draw from such diverse fields as anthropology, Asian studies, cultural studies, ethnomusicology, and film studies. Led by an impressive introduction written by Weintraub and Barendregt, fourteen contributors analyze the many ways that women performers supported, challenged, and transgressed representations of existing gendered norms in the entertainment industries of China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Iran, Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Placing women’s voices in social and historical contexts, the essays explore salient discourses, representations, meanings, and politics of “voice” in Asian popular music. Historicizing the artistic sounds, lyrical texts, and visual images of female performers, the essays reveal how women used popular music to shape the ideas, practices, and meanings of modernity in various Asian contexts and time frames. The ascendency of women as performers paralleled, and in some cases generated, developments in wider society such as suffrage, social and sexual liberation, women as business entrepreneurs and independent income earners, and particularly as models for new life styles. Women’s voices, mediated through new technologies of film and the phonograph, changed the soundscape of global popular music and resonate today in all spheres of modern life.

Book Synopsis Ecological and Social Healing by : Jeanine M. Canty
Download or read book Ecological and Social Healing written by Jeanine M. Canty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an edited collection of essays by fourteen multicultural women (including a few Anglo women) who are doing work that crosses the boundaries of ecological and social healing. The women are prominent academics, writers and leaders spanning Native American, Indigenous, Asian, African, Latina, Jewish and Multiracial backgrounds. The contributors express a myriad of ways that the relationship between the ecological and social have brought new understanding to their experiences and work in the world. Moreover by working with these edges of awareness, they are identifying new forms of teaching, leading, healing and positive change. Ecological and Social Healing is rooted in these ideas and speaks to an "edge awareness or consciousness." In essence this speaks to the power of integrating multiple and often conflicting views and the transformations that result. As women working across the boundaries of the ecological and social, we have powerful experiences that are creating new forms of healing. This book is rooted in academic theory as well as personal and professional experience, and highlights emerging models and insights. It will appeal to those working, teaching and learning in the fields of social justice, environmental issues, women's studies, spirituality, transformative/environmental/sustainability leadership, and interdisciplinary/intersectionality studies.
Download or read book Women At Sea written by NA NA and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From cross-dressing pirates to servants and slaves, women have played vital and often surprising roles in the navigation and cultural mapping of Caribbean territory. Yet these experiences rarely surface in the increasing body of critical literature on women s travel writing, which has focused on European or American women traveling to exotic locales as imperial subjects. This stellar collection of essays offers a contestatory discourse that embraces the forms of travelogue, autobiography, and ethnography as vehicles for women s rewriting of "flawed" or incomplete accounts of Caribbean cultures. This study considers writing by Caribbean women, such as the slave narrative of Mary Prince and the autobiography of Jamaican nurse Mary Seacole, and works by women whose travels to the Caribbean had enormous impacts on their own lives, such as Aphra Behn and Zora Neale Hurston. Ranging across cultural, historical, literary, and class dimensions of travel writing, these essays give voice to women writers who have been silenced, ignored, or marginalized.

Book excerpt: Out of the Margin is the first volume to consider feminist concerns across the entire domain of economics.

Download or read book Outside in written by Barbara A. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the antiquated organizational structure of many institutions of higher education, particularly in the Deep South, is that they continue to be administrated by mostly men, setting up conceptual challenges to the very inclusion, diversity, and equity for which the universities are seemingly calling. This volume addresses this irony by granting the power of speaking one's own truth to those who have most closely experienced the repercussions of exclusion, particularly from the decision-making and policy-setting arenas of university administrations. The narratives included in Outside In: Voices from the Margins are written by academic practitioners who claim their agency within their work environments by acknowledging that they have experienced this exclusion because of some facet of their humanness such as their gender and/or ethnicity. The essays provide specific examples of instances, events, and situations in which the authors found themselves outside of the majority, often shut out of the like-minded comradery and typically hierarchical movement through academe that perpetuates a predominantly male leadership. By contextualizing these experiences within their academic disciplines and indicating the effect that their exclusion has had on their teaching, outreach, and research projects, the authors have created experientially-infused discipline content intended to drive change within their areas of expertise, across their disciplines, and throughout their academic communities. In so doing, the authors summon a collective intention to move from their perceived positions outside of the decision-making spheres of academe toward the full possibility of inclusion for themselves and future generations of academics.
Book Synopsis From the Margins to the Mainstream by : Marianne Kac-Vergne
Download or read book From the Margins to the Mainstream written by Marianne Kac-Vergne and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the various issues raised by women's fraught integration into the mainstream in film and television, whether it be off screen as filmmakers and film critics or on screen in film and TV series. Marianne Kac-Vergne and Julie Assouly consider the varied representations of women in films such as Jackie Brown (1997), Marie Antoinette (2006), It's a Free World... (2007) and Wonder Woman (2017). They particularly look into the overlooked gendered aspects of voice-overs and the adverse tropes used to represent maternity in television series as well as the complex motif of the vagina dentata in contemporary film and television. The chapters analyze independent, art-house, Hollywood and TV productions often in transnational contexts, shedding light on how definitions of femininity are culturally specific yet cross national, class and racial lines. The contributors include renowned scholars such as Yvonne Tasker, Celestino Deleyto, David Roche and Nicole Cloarec, as well as emerging yet well-published film scholars.
