Heather Ridolfo and Brian Ward explore the experiences of people with impaired mobility, enhancing our understanding of why some embrace a disabled identity, why others reject it, and the personal and societal implications of both choices. Drawing on a combination of intimate interviews and statistical data, the authors unpack the ways that physical and social barriers shape personal ideas of disability. They also highlight the impact of interlocking factors such as age, race, gender, and economic class. Their work provides important new insights, relevant to theory as well as policy and practice

Is it possible that a prison's gangs, racial tensions, and underground economy may actually serve to make it a less dangerous place? In this examination of violence behind bars, Rebecca Trammell illuminates the social code that prisoners enforce—in defiance of official rules and regulations—to maintain a predictable order. Trammell also compares the experiences of male and female prisoners, underscoring the role of gender and sexual assault in shaping life behind bars. Equally important, she explores the significance of prison culture for the fate of convicts when they leave the prison environment

How might mourning turn into an event of agonistic performativity?Drawing on a range of philosophical, anthropological and political theories, Athena Athanasiou offers a new way of thinking about agonistic performativity with its critical connections to national and gender politics and alongside the political intricacies of affectivity, courage and justice. Through an ethnographic account of the urban feminist and antinationalist movement Women in Black of Belgrade during the Yugoslav wars she shows that we might understand their dissident politics of mourning as a means to refigure political life beyond sovereign accounts of subjectivity and agency

"This edited volume showcases different scholars from Latin America and the United States and their thoughts about child migration in the Americas. It takes an intersectional approach that regards migrant and refugee children in terms of gender, race and ethnicity, nationality and citizenship. It looks at child migrants and children of deportees, their family and school life, their experience as wage-laborers, the legislation and policies that affect them, the cultural and literary production on them, and other such topics, which will be studied through an anthropological, sociological, political science, educational and cultural studies approach"--

"General Editor A. Javier Treviño, working with a panel of experts, thoroughly examines all aspects of social problems, providing a contemporary and authoritative introduction to the field. Each chapter is written by a specialist on that particular topic. This unique, contributed format ensures that the research, examples, and theories described are the most current and relevant available. The text is framed around three major themes: intersectionality (the interplay of race, ethnicity, class, and gender), the global scope of many problems, and how researchers take an evidence-based approach to studying problems"--

Aimed at university and community audiences, it offers an introductory exploration of power, privilege, and oppression as foundations of systems of inequality and examines complexities within meanings and lived experiences of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and social class. By integrating social science research with concrete examples and personal reflection, this concise, introductory level text invites the reader to consider the costs of systemic hierarchies for all people and envision possible alternatives to participating in oppressive hierarchy"--

Anfang der 1990er Jahre wurde erstmals von einem Backlash im Bereich der Frauenförderung und Gleichstellung gesprochen und die Strategien des Patriachats aufgezeigt, die den Forderungen von Frauen* nach gleichberechtigter Teilhabe entgegengesetzt werden. Aktuell wird wieder – nicht nur in Österreich – von einem Backlash gesprochen, der sich beispielsweise in einer Abkehr von der geschlechtsneutralen Sprache, in der Kürzung von Subventionen für Frauen- und Mädchenberatungseinrichtungen, im Rückbau von Institutionen und in Angriffen auf die Gender Studies niederschlägt. Zu diesen Phänomenen von Backlash kam es trotz der Etablierung zahlreicher Institutionen im Bereich Gleichstellung und Bekenntnisse zur Förderung von Vielfalt auf politischer Ebene und von Unternehmensseite. Ausgehend von diesem ambivalenten Befund zum Status Quo von Gleichstellung werden Anforderungen an eine zeitgemäße Gleichstellungspolitik an der Schnittstelle zwischen Politik, Theorie und Praxis formuliert. Die Beiträge in dem Band zeigen aktuelle Herausforderungen für Gleichstellungspolitik und illustrieren, wie die Schnittstelle ausgestaltet werden kann. Die Herausgeberinnen Dr. Angela Wroblewski ist am Institut für Höhere Studien in Wien tätig. Dr. Angelika Schmidt lehrt und forscht an der Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien.

"This volume examines different forms of language and dialect discrimination on US campuses, where relevant protections in K-12 schools and the workplace are absent. Real-world case studies at intersections with class, race, gender, and ability explore pedagogical and social manifestations and long-term impacts of this prejudice between and among students, faculty, and administrators. This book will be useful for students in language & power and language variety courses, among others; researchers in sociolinguistics, education, identity, and social justice; and diversity officers looking to understand and - with chapters by Walt Wolfram and Christina Higgins - combat this bias"--
