Gender discrimination pervades nearly all legal institutions and practices in Latin America. The deeper question is how this shapes broader relations of power. By examining the relationship between law and gender as it manifests itself in the Mexican legal system, the thirteen essays in this volume show how law is produced by, but also perpetuates, unequal power relations. At the same time, however, authors show how law is often malleable and can provide spaces for negotiation and redress. The contributors (including political scientists, sociologists, geographers, anthropologists, and economists) explore these issues-not only in courts, police stations, and prisons, but also in rural organizations, indigenous communities, and families. By bringing new interdisciplinary perspectives to issues such as the quality of citizenship and the rule of law in present-day Mexico, this book raises important issues for research on the relationship between law and gender more widely.

Touches upon most of the significant and controversial underlying issues involved in the study of gender, including methodological issues. The selections included range from research summaries on particular topics (e.g. gender differences in emotion), to work on development of gendered self-concepts, to discussion of psychology's ambivalence about the study of difference and its failure to systematically consider race, ethnicity, and class. The concluding chapter considers unifying themes, gaps in current perspectives, and future directions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This volume challenges a long history of normalizing patriarchal approaches to the Qur’an and calls for a questioning of the interpretive credibility of many inherited Qur’anic commentaries. The author presents a fresh reading of the sacred text and Islamic teaching traditions as the rediscovery of a lost humanitarian and gender-egalitarian textual richness that has been poorly and loosely handled for centuries. The book stresses the importance of reviewing the interpretive linguistic choices that jurists and exegetes over the last fourteen centuries have adopted to semantically reshape the Qur’anic text. The vigilant reading the author provides of carefully chosen texts and commentaries suggests that many interpretive approaches to the Qur’an are dominated by sociopolitical factors alien to the intrinsic values of the text itself. More importantly, inconsistencies across putatively sound books of tafsīr indicate that the Qur’anic text often suffers from historical and systematic drainage of its humanitarianism, gender-egalitarianism, and religious pluralism.

Much is made about Feminism today yet little is known about the term. It is a loaded term that means different things to different people in different circumstances . It is a term that is often taken out of context, to play into a vast scope of ideologies and political interests. Generally though, feminism is widely misconstrued as only pertaining to women's rights. This, of-course should be taken with a grain of salt. In fact, the term feminism was first used by Charles Courier, a French Philosopher, in the year 1837, to explain the gap in job opportunities between men and women. Since then, feminism has been used in different countries, with different connotations, in line with their own cultures and traditions, leaving room for a great deal of head-scratching around the subject. That's why feminism is misunderstood and widely rejected by men. In this book, I aim to unpack the term in its rightful context, provide a historical background and empirical facts as well as contemporary studies, to better understand feminism as a movement, explain why it is relevant today and why should men be feminist. But first, it's important to start with the basics.Feminism at its core, is the equality of sexes. Nothing more. Nothing less. It doesn't mean women are superior to men. It doesn't mean only women's voices are amplified. It doesn't mean footing the bill on a date. It doesn't mean men will loose out of power, influence, and authority. It doesn't mean there will be a negative shifts in relationships, marriages, and cultures It's a word that represents a movement which advocates for equal rights of all gender identities. So if it that simple, why is feminism misunderstood? Some points to a bad branding. Some say it's because feminism has lived its times. Others reckoned that it's because it has been weaponised to pander to the grieving narratives of the voiceless and the less fortunate. Each one of these arguments deserve a fair amount of consideration, at least for the sake of an evidence-based debate.Taking on issues such as Masculinity, Patriarchy, Sexism, Misogyny, Manoshphere and Rape, I argue that we often get stuck in semantics, that feminism is the way to go for women's rights but it's also the answer and solution to men's issues and concerns. While the word does include fem, it doesn't pertain to women's rights only, much like Man-kind doesn't mean the existence of men only.

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction is the first large-scale reference work of its kind, critically assessing the relations of gender and genre in science fiction (SF) especially—but not exclusively—as explored in speculative art by women and LGBTQ+ artists across the world. This global volume builds upon the traditions of interdisciplinary inquiry by connecting established topics in gender studies and science fiction studies with emergent ideas from researchers in different media. Taken together, they challenge conventional generic boundaries; provide new ways of approaching familiar texts; recover lost artists and introduce new ones; connect the revival of old, hate-based politics with the increasing visibility of imagined futures for all; and show how SF stories about new kinds of gender relations inspire new models of artistic, technoscientific, and political practice. Their chapters are grouped into five conversations—about the history of gender and genre, theoretical frameworks, subjectivities, medias and transmedialities, and transtemporalities—that are central to discussions of gender and SF in the current moment. A range of both emerging and established names in media, literature, and cultural studies engage with a huge diversity of topics including eco-criticism, animal studies, cyborg and posthumanist theory, masculinity, critical race studies, Indigenous futurisms, Black girlhood, and gaming. This is an essential resource for students and scholars studying gender, sexuality, and/or science fiction.
