Women and Education

Global Lives in Focus

Erin Kenny, Missouri State University, USA

In some parts of the world, women's education remains a controversial topic, and many girls are not allowed equal access or any access at all to schooling. This book examines in regional chapters such topics as early marriage and child brides, safety and sexual vulnerability of schoolgirls, and cultural and religious opposition to girls' schooling in the non-West, in addition to the added burdens of managing menstruation at school and the disruption of armed conflict and violence in war-torn nations. Such topics as machismo, backlash to girls' success, and sexual harassment in educational environments are covered as well.

A deeply researched and even-handed account of the relationship between America's judicial branch— which is supposed to view law through a nonpartisan lens—and the partisanship that is such a notorious force in the operations of the nation's other two branches of government. Is political combat over judicial nominations worse than ever? What impact has the politicization of the courts had on public faith in our judicial system and the laws we all live by? What reforms have been proposed to address the alleged politicization of American courts? This work will provide insights into all these questions and more.

Voices of an Era

From sexual mores in ancient Egypt to resistance music in modern Latin America, from the fashion sense of the Mongols to the importance of film in modern India, the world comes alive in the award-winning Voices of an Era series.

Each volume focuses on a specific historical era, offering a window into those times by bringing together a fascinating collection of primary documents, organized by cultural and social topics (art, food, religion, family life, recreation, etc.). Introductions, critical thinking questions, and other supporting material help teachers use these documents to bring true, effective inquiry-based learning to their classrooms.

Voices of American Women's History from Reconstruction to the Present Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life

Edited by Kristine Ashton Gunnell, University of California, Los Angeles, USA and Claremont

Graduate University, USA

Gender alone has never defined women's experiences in America. In this volume, Kristine Ashton Gunnell shows that, in addition to gender, identity markers such as race, class, religion, citizenship, and sexuality have historically directed the course of women's lives in the United States for more than 200 years. Women from diverse backgrounds are represented in media and documents that include pamphlets, book excerpts, personal narratives, photographs, advertisements, congressional testimonies, and Supreme Court rulings. Such issues as abortion, marriage equality, domestic violence, and gender parity are shown from historical and contemporary angles, as this collection of primary sources allows readers and students to easily trace how women's lives and histories have and continue to intersect. With a historical context for each selection, the book also features structured activities to help teachers with class discussion and exams, including suggestions for further reading, document analysis, essay questions, and manageable research assignments.

American Slavery on Film

Caron Knauer, LaGuardia Community College, USA

Caron Knauer analyzes how African American slavery has been and continues to be portrayed in major studio blockbusters and independent films alike. In her analysis of such films as the early silent film Uncle Tom's Cabin (1914), the groundbreaking television miniseries Roots (1977), and the Harriet Tubman biopic Harriet (2019), Knauer separates the romanticized and unrealistic depictions of slavery from the more accurate but often unflinching portrayals of its horrors.

From its days as Kyivan Rus and its inclusion in the Russian Empire, to the Euromaidan demonstrations and the outbreak of war with Russia, Ukraine, as this book demonstrates, has developed its own identity, territory, and culture.

Encyclopedia of the Black Death

Joseph

P. Byrne

This encyclopedia provides 300 interdisciplinary, cross-referenced entries that document the effect of the plague on Western society across the four centuries of the second plague pandemic, balancing medical history and technical matters with historical, cultural, social, and political factors.

Encyclopedia of the Black Death is the first A–Z encyclopedia to cover the second plague pandemic, balancing medical history and technical matters with historical, cultural, social, and political factors and effects in Europe and the Islamic world from 1347–1770. It also bookends the period with entries on Biblical plagues and the Plague of Justinian, as well as modern-era material regarding related topics, such as the work of Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur, the Third Plague Pandemic of the mid-1800s, and plague in the United States.

Unlike previous encyclopedic works about this subject that deal broadly with infectious disease and its social or historical contexts, including the author's own, this interdisciplinary work synthesizes much of the research on the plague and related medical history published in the last decade in accessible, compellingly written entries. Controversial subject areas such as whether 'plague' was bubonic plague and the geographic source of plague are treated in a balanced and unbiased manner.

Global Dishes

Favorite Meals from around the World

Caryn E. Neumann, Miami University of Ohio Regionals, USA, Lori L. Parks, Miami University of Ohio Regionals, USA. & Joel G. Parks, Independent Scholar, USA

Food is a great unifier. It is used to mark milestones or rites of passage. It is integral to the way we celebrate, connecting a familial and cultural past to the present through tradition. The dishes in this text are those that have come to be known within a part of the world and culture, but also have moved beyond those borders and are accessible and enjoyed by many in our ever-smaller and more-interconnected world. Featuring more than 100 recipes and detailed discussions of dishes from across the globe, Global Dishes explores the history and cultural context surrounding some of the best-known and favorite foods.
