Gendered Marginalities

Exploring Culture and Global Disparities

Critiquing traditional patriarchal Christian theology, Lucy Reid uses a feminist lens to propose an alternative and more holistic framework for faith and spirituality.

"This volume delves into the pivotal and timely subject of female leadership in Africa and the Middle East. It examines the paradox whereby women continue to achieve remarkable educational successes; while confronting enduring obstacles to the authentic acknowledgment of their leadership within the spheres of power. An exceptional and insightful contribution to contemporary discourses surrounding the multifaceted roles of women in challenging and dismantling entrenched structures of power and authority in leadership positions at all levels."—Fatima Sadiqi, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar"Born of an unusual collaboration and boldly bestriding two major regions of the world, this book intentionally inscribes African and Middle Eastern experiences, scholarship, and perspectives in the accounts of women’s engagements with leadership in those regions. The chapters cover a broad range of leadership contexts, disrupt previously held theories of women’s leadership, and accord theoretical and analytical respect and dignity to the people and places included in this study. Scholars, students, leaders, and policy makers have much to learn from it."—Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso, Brandeis University, USAHistory demonstrates that&nbsp;women’s ascent to or absence from leadership positions is contingent on the various political, cultural, social, and professional contexts they are situated in. This edited collection on women and leadership is a contribution in this regard. It aims to re-conceptualize the contexts that either enable or restrain women’s ascent to leadership positions, by drawing on&nbsp;case studies from Morocco and Nigeria as well as a widened perspective covering Africa and the Middle East. The collection includes chapters that address more specifically the policies, practices and (mis)representations affecting African and Middle Eastern women’s aspirations for leadership roles and positions. As such, it contributes to the advancement of reflection on issues related to women and leadership.Hanane Darhour is professor of English Studies, Gender and Politics at Ibn Zohr University, Morocco.

<div>Textiles have been a highly valued part of many Indigenous societies across the world and over millennia. This pathbreaking book examines the large woven ceremonial cloths known as pua kumbu, long associated with the Iban peoples of the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia. In both scholarly and popular studies of these sacred cloths, the process of creating pua kumbu is identified explicitly with the women who weave them, using oral tradition for the passing on of designs and practice, in a task that is skilful, physically demanding and strenuous. Based on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative engagement with a longhouse community, this study seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually. It is framed around a number of key themes: the origins, symbolism and use of the cloths; the place of female weavers in Iban society; the creative tension between conservation, innovation and transformation; and the significance of insider Indigenous knowledge for sustainable community development. Enriching Iban Pua Kumbu is a valuable work for advanced students, researchers and general readers interested in the intersection of material culture, social status and community engagement, such as cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, economists, museum curators and historians.</div><div><div>

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book provides a comprehensive perspective by taking an interdisciplinary approach to issues of attaining SDGs in India. It starts with policy priorities and opportunities for interlinking of different SDGs with sustainable industrial transformation. Subsequently, various chapters present a blend of analytical methods that are primarily rooted in economics and yet have an inter-disciplinary approach, highlighting pathways towards achieving SDGs, especially SDG1, SDG2, SDG3, SDG4, SDG10, SDG11, SDG13, and SDG15. Gender equality and empowerment of women is a common cross-cutting issue across all three themes towards achieving SDG targets. Chapters are divided into three themes climate change, health and nutrition, and poverty and inequality, with a special chapter devoted to each theme providing the overall picture. The book’s content is a great resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners studying these SDGs related to India as the country moves forward on its growth path.

New Femininities in Digital, Physical and Sporting Cultures

This book is contextualised by, makes connections to, and seeks to build on&nbsp;theory intersecting various fields: codes of women’s football globally; female&nbsp;sport participation globally; gender and sexuality studies; queer theory; and&nbsp;visual methods. Through showcasing women’s experiences of playing football, highlighting the ways in which players make sense of their gendered embodiment&nbsp;and performances, and exploring how gender is understood and regulated within&nbsp;the unique social context of a female football team, this book demonstrates why&nbsp;such discussions are crucial for advancing gender equality and theorization of&nbsp;genders in contemporary Western cultures. In giving voice to the lived experiences&nbsp;and perspectives of women who have and continue to play Australian Rules&nbsp;football, this book highlights the ongoing tensions, conflicts, contradictions, and&nbsp;absences of negotiating their passion for playing the game, the impact of gender&nbsp;on their playing experiences, and the significance of the social and cultural space&nbsp;of their &nbsp;football club to their lives. It provides a nuanced account of the&nbsp;power and significance of women’s social bonds in this space, explores how&nbsp;notions of female friendship and desire are caught up in heteronormative&nbsp;discourses, and engages in discussions of the ways in which genders, sexualities,&nbsp;desires, embodiments, and sociality are contested and negotiated among women&nbsp; 
in homosocial spaces. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students working and studying in the fields of gender and sexuality studies,&nbsp;queer theory, visual methodologies, sociology of sport, sports studies, female&nbsp;friendship, physical education, as well as those who play and work within codes&nbsp; 
of women’s football.

Sex, Friendship and Women’s Football

"A propulsive powerhouse of a read."--Marie Claire (UK)"Ambitious, brave, and strange."--Philip Hoare, author of LeviathanFrom the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author, a feminist reimagining of Herman Melville's classic Moby-Dick through the eyes of one inimitable woman and a diverse, swashbuckling crewI must work on a ship as a man . . . I must find freedom on the seas.1843. Ishmaelle is born in a small village on the stormy Kent coast where she grows up swimming with dolphins. After her parents and infant sister die, her brother, Joseph, leaves to find work as a sailor. Abandoned and desperate for a life at sea, Ishmaelle disguises herself as a cabin boy and travels to New York.Years later, as the American Civil War breaks out, Ishmaelle boards the Nimrod, a whaling ship led by the obsessive Captain Seneca, a Black free man of heroic stature who is haunted by a tragic past. Here, she finds protectors amidst the bloody male violence of whaling and discovers a mysterious bond between herself and the white whale who claimed Seneca's leg.Built on the bones of Melville's classic, Call Me Ishmaelle is a dynamic new tale, imbued with an eclectic crew--from a Polynesian harpooner to a Taoist Monk--and a powerful exploration of human nature, gender, man's place among the animals, and the nature of home.

Call Me Ishmaelle

Rebecca Solnit offers a thrilling account of the sheer breadth and scale of social, political, scientific, and cultural change over the past three quarters of a century. 
 
In this sequel to her enduring bestseller&nbsp;Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability. 
 
The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized. 
 
While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.
