Gender Politics in Latin
America: Debates in Theory and Practice “This is a book that should inspire
enthusiasm in even the most weary or impatient student of gender. No facile
assumption goes unexamined nor partial truth left to stand.... This excellent
collection is exceptional in the range of issues it tackles and the degree of
success it achieves in challenging the ideas that have become received wisdom
in women's and gender studies.” |
| Not Automatic:
Women and the Left in the
Forging of the Auto “Sol Dollinger's
remembrance of UAW's early days are juicy and provocative. His recall of those
goofy internecine political battles within the union is tragic-comic. Yet they,
united even though hollering at each other, made GM, Ford, et al, recognize the
union. The sequence involving Genora Johnson Dollinger, the heroine of the 1937
sit-down strike, is deeply moving and inspiring.” |

| New Edition “Abramovitz
introduces the reader to cutting edge socioeconomic analysis.... It is not
possible to come away from Under Attack, Fighting Backwith a sense that
welfare is a simplistic topic or that the human consequences of adjustments in
the existing system are inconsequential.” |

Under the Raj:
Prostitution in Colonial
Bengal Under the Raj explores the world of the prostitute, seeking to understand the culture of the trade and its impact on society in the changing reality of nineteenth century Bengal.

| Women and the Politics of
Class Is there a future for
feminism? The debate over the direction and politics of the women's movement
has been joined by post-feminists and anti-feminists, in addition to competing
feminist perspectives. Here, Johanna Brenner offers a distinctive view, arguing
for a strategic turn in feminist politics toward coalitions centered on the
interests of working-class women. |
