Women and Social Protest de Guida West

Women and Social Protest

Editat de Guida West, Rhoda Lois Blumberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 1990
Bringing together eighteen thought-provoking articles--most of them written especially for this volume--Women and Social Protest addresses a long-neglected area in social history and politics, showing how in recent years feminist social scientists have begun to reexamine women's involvement in social protest, the innovative forms this protest takes, and the impact of activism on women's lives. This timely and comprehensive anthology provides a much-needed forum for discussion of these topics, and shows how the sociological and political literature has long ignored, masked, or distorted the political activities of women, thus creating the stereotype of the apolitical woman.

Drawing on the work of sociologists, political scientists, historians, and experts in women's studies, Women and Social Protest explores four types of social protest--economic; racial, ethnic, and nationalistic; social nurturing and humanistic; and women's rights--considering a wealth of data from different eras and case studies from around the world. An introductory chapter provides a theoretical framework for the essays and helpful introductions to each section identify and elaborate general themes. In addition, a comprehensive bibliography offers the most extensive, up-to-date list of readings available. One of the first books to examine this important topic in detail, Women and Social Protest is a valuable contribution to the expanding field of social political theory.

Descriere

This anthology examines the role of women in social protest movements in the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Israel in a wide variety of contexts. The text considers four categories of protest: those resulting from economic hardship; racial, ethnic, or nationalist struggles; humanistic and global causes, such as nuclear disarmament and ecology; and feminist movements.
