This book focuses on the inequities that are persistently and disproportionately severe for Indigenous peoples. Gender and racial-based inequities span from the home life to Indigenous women's wellness including physical, mental, and social health. The conundrum of how and why Indigenous women many of whom historically held respected and even held sacred status in many matrilineal and female-centered communities now experience the highest rates of gendered-based violence is focal to this work. Unlike Western European and colonial contexts, Indigenous societies tended to be organized in fundamentally distinct ways that were woman-centered and where gender roles and values were reportedly more egalitarian, fluid, flexible, inclusive, complementary, and harmonious. Understanding how Indigenous gender relations were targeted as a tool of patriarchal settler colonization and how this relates to women more broadly can be a key to unlocking gender liberation a catalyst for readers to become gender AWAke. Living gender AWAke encompasses living in alignment with agility (AWA), with clear awareness of how gender and other sociostructural factors affect daily life, as well as how to navigate such factors. To live in alignment, is to live from ones center and in accordance with ones authentic self, with agility, by nimbly responding to life's constantly shifting situations. This empirically-grounded work extends and deepens the Indigenist framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence (FHORT) by delving deep into the resilience, transcendence, and wellness components of FHORT while centering gender. Understanding the changing gender roles for Indigenous peoples over time fosters decolonization more broadly by enabling greater understanding of how sexism and misogyny hurt people across personal and political spheres. This understanding can foster the process of becoming gender AWAke by identifying and dismantling of sexism and by becoming decolonized from prescriptive gender roles that inhibit living in alignment with ones true or authentic self. Readers will gain: a research-based approach linking historical oppression, gender-based inequities, and violence against Indigenous women understanding of how patriarchal colonialism undermines all genders a tool to dismantle sexism more broadly pathways to become gender AWAke through the understanding of Indigenous women's resilience and transcendence.

Die Autorin stellt die verschiedenen traditionellen Ansätze zur Sichtweise der Geschlechter in der Psychologie vor und thematisiert anhand von Beispielen die Konsequenzen, die die vermuteten Unterschiede und deren Bewertungen einerseits, die Nichtbeachtung soziokultureller Einflüsse andererseits haben. Mit Bezug auf neuere psychoanalytische und neurobiologische Forschungen wird die Hypothese entwickelt, daß aufgrund der integrativen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Körperwahrnehmungen, Affekten und kognitiven Prozessen die kulturell verbreiteten Feststellungen und Werturteile über die Geschlechter (ebenso wie die unterschiedlichen realen Lebensbedingungen) auf das affektive Erleben und Selbsterleben der Individuen Einfluß nehmen und so tatsächlich auch zur Konstituierung manifester Geschlechterdifferenzen beitragen.

To consider gender and politics is to ask "Who has the power?" The Politics of Gender attempts to break through power structures by examining the institutional roles each play. This text takes several approaches to understanding the politics of gender, beginning with an introductory chapter focused on the major terms and theoretical approaches connected to political and gender studies. Topics covered throughout the book include a historical discussion of the feminist movement, an analysis of the 2017 Women's March on Washington, the nomination (and subsequent reactions) of Hillary Clinton, the impact Michelle Obama had for women of color as the first African-American First Lady, as well as the ways lesbian women's bodies are scrutinized. In addition, this volume addresses the ways gender is litigated by examining the rights of lesbian women in Nigeria, the treatment of trans-gender people while in prison, and the connection between gun laws and intimate partner violence. Finally, this text provides the reader with suggestions for community involvement, resources for voting, reading, film and Podcast recommendations, all combined with the stories of two women who discuss the change they created in their communities.

Gender and Rights presents twenty-five essays by leading international scholars and advocates the relationship between rights and gender inequality. The essays are organized into six categories: rights, sources of harm and well-being, work, family, violence and political process and participation. Particular attention is paid throughout to the relationship between cultural practices and legal rights. The volume also highlights the conceptual and the political development of rights claims and rights regimes for women and sexual minorities. The essays therefore focus not only on the theoretical justifications for rights but also on the contextual complexities of their enactment, implementation, enforcement and consequences. ; https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1181/thumbnail.jpg
