Voices from the Contemporary Japanese Feminist Movement Springer Verlag, Singapore

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book introduces six key influential feminist activists from Japan's contemporary feminist movement and examines Japanese women's experience of and contribution to the international #MeToo movement. Set against a backdrop of pervasive sexual inequality in Japanese society-on a scale that makes Japan an outlier in Asia as well as the rest of the advanced democratic world-this book offers a snapshot of Japan's contemporary feminist movement and the issues it faces, including, primarily, sexual violence and harassment of women and girls. The six feminist activists interviewed to create this snapshot all work toward eradicating sexual violence against women and girls-they are: Kitahara Minori (instigator of the Flower Demo and public commentator), Yamamoto Jun (activist for sex crime law amendments), Nit Yumeno (advocate for sexually exploited girls), Tsunoda Yukiko (feminist lawyer), Mitsui Mariko (former politician and current activist), and Yang-Ching-Ja (comfort women activist).

Undo Motherhood Schilt Publishing b.v.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Shortlisted for the Singapore International Photography Festival Undo Motherhood explores the reasons why a significant number of women around the world today regret becoming mothers. It points a finger at the patriarchal institution of motherhood, which from a very young age pushes women to become mothers and then abandons them, very often at the cost of their lives. The women in this project love their children and are excellent mothers when judged according to society's standards, and yet they hate the oppressive mother role that has robbed them of their own existence and suffer through it in silence, feeling it to be the worst mistake they have made. This book is a wake-up call for society which is built upon violence and discrimination against women and uses the myth of happy motherhood to keep women under control in a subservient role. In this work Diana Karklin combines two narrative languages - her photographs and texts of the protagonists - to create a space for reflection. It is important to know that these women have either already told their children about their regrets or they are going to tell them in the future, so their participation in the project is in line with their decision. The project is based on the contrast between the typical sugar-coated images of motherhood in many (social) media compared to the real stories. The entire work is divided into seven chapters - published in seven separate books in a slipcase - where each chapter circles around the feeling that prevails in that mother's life: anger, fear, isolation, exhaustion, guilt, resignation and acceptance. The last chapter stresses the importance of accepting regret in order to be able to deal with it in a constructive way. "An honest, courageous, and radical book that without passing judgement gives a voice to women struggling with the experience of a social role that they do not want, experiencing guilt and the burden of moral expectations. A book that allows us to explore the other dimension of motherhood, a dimension that is always hidden in the shadow. It is necessary to look at motherhood as it is in all its aspects, in order to free it from prejudices, and to present vital options to both mothers and children who find themselves in this situation,"-Ana Casas Broda, photographer and author of "Kinderwunsch", that explores the complexity of motherhood and the relationship with her two sons."

Recollections of My Nonexistence Penguin LCC US

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize for BiographyLonglisted for The Orwell Prize for Political WritingAn electric portrait of the artist as a young woman that asks how a writer finds her voice in a society that prefers women to be silent, from the author of Orwell's RosesIn Recollections of My Nonexistence, Rebecca Solnit describes her formation as a writer and as a feminist in 1980s San Francisco, in an atmosphere of gender violence on the street and throughout society and the exclusion of women from cultural arenas. She tells of being poor, hopeful, and adrift in the city that became her great teacher, and of the small apartment that, when she was nineteen, became the home in which she transformed herself. She explores the forces that liberated her as a person and as a writer--books themselves; the gay community that presented a new model of what else gender, family, and joy could mean; and her eventual arrival in the spacious landscapes and overlooked conflicts of the American West. Beyond being a memoir, Solnit's book is also a passionate argument: that women are not just impacted by personal experience, but by membership in a society where violence against women pervades. Looking back, she describes how she came to recognize that her own experiences of harassment and menace were inseparable from the systemic problem of who has a voice, or rather who is heard and respected and who is silenced--and how she was galvanized to use her own voice for change.

Radical Feminist Therapy SAGE Publications Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

With an emphasis on violence against women and on women's responses to it - such as depression, splitting and eating disturbances - this volume furthers the radicalization of feminist therapy. It serves as a comprehensive introduction for trainees and as an ongoing resource for social service workers and therapists. Providing detailed and grounded guidance, the author examines feminist approaches to working with women and discusses issues often omitted or pathologized in general feminist counselling texts, including prostitutes battered by pimps and self-mutilation. She explores such central questions as how women can empower themselves in a sexist society; what forms internalized oppression takes and how clients can be helped to address these internalizations; and how women can be helped to reclaim their bodies.

Mother to Mother Beacon Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Sindiwe Magona's novel Mother to Mother explores the South African legacy of apartheid through the lens of a woman who remembers a life marked by oppression and injustice. Magona decided to write this novel when she discovered that Fulbright Scholar Amy Biehl, who had been killed while working to organize the nation's first ever democratic elections in 1993, died just a few yards away from her own permanent residence in Guguletu, Capetown. She then learned that one of the boys held responsible for the killing was in fact her neighbor's son. Magona began to imagine how easily it might have been her own son caught up in the wave of violence that day. The book is based on this real-life incident, and takes the form of an epistle to Amy Biehl's mother. The murderer's mother, Mandisi, writes about her life, the life of her child, and the colonized society that not only allowed, but perpetuated violence against women and impoverished black South Africans under the reign of apartheid. The result is not an apology for the murder, but a beautifully written exploration of the society that bred such violence.

Tribalism Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Unearthing the most primal motivations behind the fear politics movements sweeping across the USA and Europe, Stevan E. Hobfoll examines how the establishment of the political and cultural "other" or "outsider" engenders an evolutionary "defend and aggress" response. This mentality in turn elicits "tribalism," allowing for the rise of propaganda, extremist politics, and ultimately promoting violence. In this wide-ranging book, which ties together theories in sociology, evolution, biology, linguistics, iconography, rhetoric, and religion, Hobfoll explores the tribalist roots of radical Islam, violence against women, white supremacy, and zones of intense conflict (such as that between Israel and Palestine). Grounded in biological research and in conversation with contemporary academic literature, The Tribal Self and Society not only offers an explanation for society's worst impulses, but also points us towards the best protections against tribalism and other "evolutionary" traps.

As seen on "2020," "48 Hours," "Sally Jesse Raphael," and in People magazine: A startling expos of domestic violence against well-educated, well-to-do women, and a powerful indictment of the social service system that fails to protect them.. How is it possible for a highly educated woman with a career and resources of her own to stay in a marriage with an abusive husband? How can a man be considered a pillar of his community and regularly give his wife a black eye? The very nature of these questions proves how convinced we are that domestic violence is restricted to the lower classes. Now Susan Weitzman explores a heretofore overlooked population of battered wives-the upper-educated and upper-income women who rarely report abuse and remain trapped by their own silence.

Solar Plexus Glagoslav Publications Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

From the Academy award winning screenplay writer of Burnt by the Sun, Solar Plexus is a compelling saga of family and friendship, love and betrayal, set against the backdrop of Azerbaijan's rapidly-changing capital, Baku, as the country struggles with the transition into a post-Soviet world... Spanning three generations and stretching from the 1940s to the 1990s, the four distinct parts that make up Solar Plexus intertwine to tell the tale of a group of friends who grew-up around the same courtyard in Baku. Each section is told from a different perspective as the friends' passions, deceits, rivalries and disappointments play out against the shifting turmoil of those decades: from the Great Patriotic War and Stalin's Purges, to the industrial institutes and Russification of the '50s and '60s, through to the struggle for independence and violence of the early '90s. The lives of Alik, Marat, Lucky, Eldar and Seidzade are realised with rare insight and a superb eye for the bigger picture, but also with humour, and a recognition of life's absurdity that recalls writers from Bulgakov to Kundera. Ibragimbekov evokes a world of passion and honour, of proud men and hot-headed women, of great tenderness and complex humanity, where "the truth is always just one of many truths." The novel is equally a paean to the multiculturalism of Baku, and a time when a person's worth was measured by their qualities, not whether they had been born an Azeri, Russian, Jew or Armenian - a time brought to a violent end by the war with Armenia, when friends and neighbours were suddenly turned against one another, and broad-minded inclusion gave way to an exclusive and crude nationalism.
