In der Debatte um ein Verbot der Prostitution kommen Sexarbeiterinnen (und erst recht Sexarbeiter) kaum selbst zu Wort. Bei bestürzend vielen Feministinnen herrscht eine zutiefst sexistische Auffassung von Prostituierten, wie sie eigentlich eher konservativen alten Männern unterstellt werden könnte: als unterdrückte Opfer, die es zu befreien gilt. Die aus dieser Bevormundung folgende Forderung, Prostitution gehöre verboten, wird aber kaum jemals von den Sexarbeiterinnen selbst vertreten. In...

With analytical clarity and narrative force, The Feminist and the Sex Offender contends with two problems that are typically siloed in the era of #MeToo and mass incarceration: sexual and gender violence, on the one hand, and the state’s unjust, ineffective, and soul-destroying response to it on the other. Is it possible to confront the culture of abuse? Is it possible to hold harm-doers accountable without recourse to a criminal justice system that redoubles injuries, fails survivors, and...

In The Hollywood Jim Crow , Maryann Erigha tells the story of inequality, looking at the practices and biases that limit the...

The promises and conflicts faced by public figures, artists, and leaders of Northeast Los Angeles as they enliven and defend their neighborhoods Los Angeles is well known as a sprawling metropolis with endless freeways that can make the city feel isolating and separate its communities. Yet in the past decade, as Jan Lin argues in Taking Back the Boulevard, there has been a noticeable renewal of public life on several of the city’s iconic boulevards, including Atlantic, Crenshaw, Lankershim,...

The Constitution of the United States, writes Bryan Fair, was a series of compromises between white male propertyholders: Southern planters and Northern merchants. At the heart of their deals was a clear race-conscious intent to place the interests of whites above those of blacks. In this provocative and important book, Fair, the eighth of ten children born to a single mother on public assistance in an Ohio ghetto, combines two histories–America's and his own- -to offer a compelling defense...

We didn't know. For half a century, Western politicians and intellectuals have so explained away their inaction in the face of genocide in World War II. In stark contrast, Western observers today face a daily barrage of information and images, from CNN, the Internet, and newspapers about the parties and individuals responsible for the current Balkan War and crimes against humanity. The stories, often accompanied by video or pictures of rape, torture, mass graves, and ethnic cleansing,...

Enlivened by a rich analysis of NRA materials, meetings, leader speeches, and unique in-depth interviews...

How do urban surroundings affect the ways in which teens grow up, and what do their stories tell us about human development? In particular, how do the negative images of themselves on television and in the newspaper affect their perspectives about themselves? Psychologists typically have shown little interest in urban youth, preferring instead to generalize about adolescent development from studies of...

Que un periodista de la prensa escrita, redactor desde hace más de treinta años, de repente se ponga a escribir con imágenes, haciendo fotografías, sólo puede querer decir dos cosas: o que se ha vuelto loco o que el mundo se ha puesto tan de patas arriba que ni se reconoce.Jordi Panyella (Barcelona, 1966) aún continúa escribiendo en el diario El Punt Avui, como siempre, pero el mundo ha cambiado radicalmente. Y sobre todo su ciudad, a raíz del brutal impacto de la crisis de la...

Now, the daytime TV landscape is littered with talk shows. But why do people watch these shows? How do they make sense of them? And how do these shows affect their viewers' sense of what constitutes...

Despite the apparent progress in women's legal status, the law retains a profoundly male bias, and as such contributes to the pervasive violence and injustice against women. In A Law of Her Own , the authors propose to radically change law's fundamental paradigm by introducing a «reasonable woman standard» for measuring men's behavior. Advocating that courts apply this standard to the conduct of men-and women-in legal settings where women are overwhelmingly the injured parties,...

In Private Affairs , Phillip Brian Harper explores the social and cultural significance of the private, proposing that, far from a universal right, privacy is limited by one's racial-and sexual-minority status. Ranging across cinema, literature, sculpture, and lived encounters-from Rodin's The Kiss to Jenny Livingston's Paris is Burning - Private Affairs demonstrates how the very concept of privacy creates personal and sociopolitical hierarchies in contemporary America.

Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima, Anthony Baez, Patrick Dorismond. New York City has been rocked in recent years by the fate of these four men at the hands of the police.

After Race pushes us beyond the old «race vs. class» debates to delve deeper into the structural conditions that spawn racism. Darder and Torres place the study of racism forthrightly within the context of contemporary capitalism. While agreeing with those who have argued that the concept of «race» does not have biological validity, they go further to insist that the concept also holds little political, symbolic, or descriptive value when employed in social science and policy research.Darder...
