BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?
A new open access model for books
BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS
Following the success of our 2024-25 expansion, in 2025-26 we have continued to offer three collections of 20 titles each in:
• African Studies & International Development
• Environment & Climate Change
• Gender & Sexuality
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors
• Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in
• Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in
• Be publicly acknowledged on our website

East African Queer and Trans Displacements
Edited by John Marnell, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, B Camminga, University of Bristol, UK, Barbara Bompani, University of Parma, Italy & Kamau Wairuri, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
Bringing together diverse case studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, this open access collection serves as the first in-depth examination of queer and trans displacement in East Africa
The last decade has seen a sharp rise in state-sponsored homophobia and transphobia in East Africa This includes discriminatory legislation, such as the widely condemned Anti-Homosexuality Act in Uganda, and government-initiated crackdowns, such as the ‘anti-gay taskforce’ launched in Tanzania in 2018 The politicisation of sexual and gender rights in the region is often presented as a moral crusade (i e a return to traditional/family values) and is enacted with the support of many religious and cultural leaders It is within this context that an ever-increasing number of LGBTQI+ people are leaving their homes and seeking protection elsewhere
The region offers insights into how, when and why LGBTQI+ Africans move, the social obstacles they face, and the different survival strategies they deploy

Self-Determination Beyond Liberal Legalism
Ethics, Law, and the Politics of Justice
Anna Irene Baka
Anna Irene Baka challenges dominant liberal and legalist paradigms in international law by reinterpreting the right of peoples to self-determination through the lenses of Aristotelian philosophy, phenomenology, social psychology, and corrective justice
Focusing on high-profile postcolonial conflicts in Kosovo, Cyprus, and Palestine, Baka argues that abstract international and constitutional legal doctrines on self-determination fail to account for the lived realities of collective deprivation and historical trauma Baka offers a compelling critique not only of mainstream theories of self-determination, but also of the shortcomings of critical movements such as Critical Legal Studies In their place, she advances a renewed ethical and conceptual framework for international law one grounded in responsibility, rational judgment, and moral engagement This interdisciplinary method brings fresh insight into questions of collective identity, legitimacy, and the moral accountability of law itself Ultimately suggesting that meaningful responses to historical injustice require international jurists to cultivate intellectual independence and legal virtue, this is a timely and essential contribution for scholars and practitioners of international law, human rights, legal philosophy, and global justice

The Risk Dimension
Sociological Theories, Conceptual Paradigm, and Policy Applications
Stefan Popov
This book offers a conceptual framework for understanding risk, drawing on fifty years of sociology and philosophical modernity to explore key concepts such as uncertainty, danger, and threat
Stefan Popov applies this framework to risk reduction policies, emphasizing the role of deliberative decision-making in liberal democratic societies In so doing, Popov presents risk as a political phenomenon, highlighting its structural features through the lens of Kant’s aesthetic judgement and its reconstruction in Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy

Two Steps Forward, Three to the Side
Social Image and the Dance for Community Health Center Survival
Danielle N Gadson
This book offers a systematic analysis of the community health center program’s success since its establishment as a War on Poverty program
Initially, the program served as a means for strengthening communities by ameliorating the poverty-related causes and consequences of limited access to health care Today, the program is situated as an entry point and safety-net solution, shoring up gaps in the larger healthcare system Against the backdrop of persistent health disparities and calls to return to its anti-poverty roots, the goal of this book is to both celebrate and caution against administrative strategies that primarily align programmatic outcomes with macroeconomic standards of success Chronologically structured by its legislative authorization history and presidential administrations, Two Steps Forward, Three to the Side employs a sociological lens to trace the transformation of social narratives created by administrators and advocates about the program for the purpose of fortifying legislative support over more than six decades The examination uncovers the gradual de-emphasis of social justice as a core tenet of the community health center program in favor of messages about programmatic efficiency and cost savings for the larger healthcare system in response to challenging funding environments

Privilege in America
A Reference Handbook
Kelly L McFaden, University of North Georgia, USA & Sheri C Hardee, University of North Georgia, USA
America has long prided itself on being a meritocracy in which people have access to the same opportunities and resources in their efforts to build rewarding and financially secure lives for themselves and their families
However, the USA has historically been a nation in which some sectors of the population have enjoyed advantages over others by virtue of their favored race, ethnicity, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, physical attributes, or socioeconomic background
How impactful have those privileges been in shaping current cultural, political, educational, and economic environments in the USA? This book explores that question and many more, using an approach that studies the question of privilege from a variety of illuminating perspectives The book's opening chapters summarize the social, political, and economic evolution of privilege in the USA and discuss flashpoints of controversy and debate Additional chapters provide personal essays from scholars and historically disadvantaged Americans, a selection of informative primary sources, an annotated bibliography of sources for further study, and a glossary of terms

Consequential Museum Spaces
Representing African American History and Culture
Bettina Messias Carbonell
In Consequential Museum Spaces: Representing African American History and Culture, Bettina Messias Carbonell examines how African American history and culture is and historically has been represented in culturally specific and mainstream museums Carbonell argues that African American museums provide a corrective history that is both argumentative and pragmatic: these museums educate and enlighten, and they seek to effect change Themes examined here include settlement narratives; key movements and individuals in political, social, and military history; the treatment of slavery includingthe African, transatlantic, and American slave trade and the long history of slavery as an institution in the United States; the status of Africa the continent and individual countries and regions as a source of origins and traditions and a destination for reconnection with the past; and activism and human rights Carbonell considers this museum-based work in the context of relevant historical (written) texts and in the context of contemporary theories involving memory and history, corrective history, intergenerational trauma, human rights, and historical consciousness

Religion in America A Sociological History
Mark Abrahamson
This book offers an analysis of religion in America from the 1600s to the present, blending rich historical case studies with sociological theory to illuminate the enduring influence of faith in public life
Religion in America focuses on key moments in American history where religion served as both a catalyst for social change such as during the anti–Vietnam War protests and a force for resistance, as seen in opposition to the legalization of contraception Abrahamson examines the role of religious engagement within a variety of American contexts, applying a wide range of sociological frameworks to draw generalizable insights In doing so, the book provides readers with a substantive introduction to the sociology of religion and its application to American historical trajectories

Critical Explorations of Media and Inequality
Edited by Majka Ryan, Martin J Power & Eoin Devereux
Media discourses play a powerful role in shaping public understanding of inequality yet they often obscure, distort, or individualize its causes
Critical Explorations of Media and Inequality examines how mainstream media systems reproduce and legitimize unequal social structures by marginalizing, sensationalizing, or blaming those most affected Bringing together leading and emerging scholars, this edited collection explores the persistent gaps, tensions, and ideological forces at work in media representations of class, poverty, homelessness, welfare, and immigration across diverse global contexts Organized around the themes of changing media work practices, authoritative voices, representations, and implications, the chapters interrogate how neoliberalism and shifting journalistic norms continue to shape and limit the public conversation on inequality Through rich empirical analysis and interdisciplinary insight, this volume offers a timely intervention into the politics of media framing and the structural silences that sustain social injustice
Identity Building among Role-Playing Gamers
Slaying Goblins in the Real World
Heather Shay
Drawing on 19 months of participant-observation and 20 in-depth interviews with players, Heather Shay demonstrates that gamers derive significant social and psychological benefits from table-top role-playing games not least in that players often feel the hobby makes them better people Playing these games allow players to depict themselves as good, moral actors through their in-game actions as well as by making the game enjoyable for their fellow players in real life Table-top role-playing games also serve a psychological function by allowing participants to take imaginary risks with their characters, which in turn make them feel more alive than their everyday experiences allow them to As they pretend to be fictional characters in fictional worlds, players use these games to create identities that make their lives more meaningful

Organizing Failure
Coupling Social Infrastructures and Personal Experiences
Martin Hájek
In this book, the authors offer a unique perspective on failure, treating it as an intentional and routine result of organizational activity rather than an event to be avoided
Through case studies in different organizational domains including start-up entrepreneurship, platform work, and public policy contributors analyze the social processes and mechanisms through which failure is organizationally produced as a reality for the actors involved Based on conceptual reflection and empirical research, the authors argue that the organization of failure takes place in the interaction of actors who take on the roles of sponsors, contractors, and evaluators of a particular activity Sponsoring and evaluation rely on evaluative infrastructures (procedures and narratives) that are often made invisible or opaque to the contractors carrying out the activities and the research reveals the critical role of sponsors’ subjective involvement in organizing failure The book ultimately demonstrates that focusing on the organization of failure rather than its causes can contribute to a deeper understanding of organized activities in contemporary society

Social Character, Tribalism and Society
The Angry Crowd
Chris Shilling & Philip A Mellor
Chris Shilling and Philip A Mellor argue that recent developments in social character are key to explaining the sectarian tribalism that has afflicted American and European societies in recent decades.
Building upon one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, David Riesman’s The Lonely Crowd, the authors explore the social and economic conditions that have resulted in a ‘thinning’ of empathy and mutual identification, the significance of inequalities and social movements in stimulating the emergence of identity-directedness, and the opportunitydirected exploitation of dynamic social change, risk and uncertainty Reflecting on an era marked by intensifying conflict, Social Character, Tribalism and Society asks whether it is possible that a ‘saving remnant’ could emerge from the characterological struggle that is fraying the social fabric and threatening to destabilise social order

Somali Refugees in America
Community Gardens as Spaces of Refuge
Anadil Iftekhar
This study looks at the acculturation and social capital of twenty Somali refugee women participating in a community garden in a small town in Minnesota The women had all been refugees at some point, even if they did not enter the US as a refugee Using phenomenological interviews to gather the data, the author draws on Berry’s framework and juxtaposes it against two other models of acculturation Doing so allows the exploration of the pros and cons of each model and then offer suggestions for more holistic approaches to understanding and measuring acculturation There are many aspects of life in the U S that were new to the Somali women such as driving, adult education, employment opportunities, and maintaining culture Through many support systems, and efforts at keeping Somali culture intact through food and religion, along with the language barrier, the women adjusted to life in America Participation at the community garden was an important part of their daily routine (even if only during the short growing season), giving the women agency, independence and the ability to create something and be on their own In essence, the garden functioned as a mini-Somalia for them, providing not only a means of acculturation and accumulation of social capital, but a place of bonding

Refugee Journeys to Australia
Safety, Security, and Support for People with Disabilities from Syria and Iraq
Angela Dew
This book highlights the experiences of people with disability and their family members from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds who have resettled in Australia over the past decade
Based on in-depth life history interviews, the book details the challenges people faced as refugees adapting to a new country Some of these challenges are consistent with those faced by people from refugee backgrounds, but the book sheds special light on difficulties which are specific to or exacerbated by the disability experience Taking a scholarly perspective, the Angela Dew explores the implications of these challenges and recommends alternative approaches which may diminish the challenges and enhance the benefits that can accrue to not just the individuals seeking refuge, but the societies receiving them Bringing together four conceptual frameworks life course theory, ecological theory, social capital theory, and journey theory the book explores how the application of these theories offers complimentary viewpoints to provide a deeper understanding of the experiences of people with disability from refugee backgrounds By affirming that people with disability and their family members who seek asylum and those who are accepted as refugees in resettlement countries deserve safety, security and support following traumatic life experiences which are compounded by their disability, Dew offers a vision for a richer, more equitable society

Women of the Diaspora Generational Transformations
Edited by Maria Gindidis, Jane Southcott & Rose Wake
Women of the Diaspora: Generational Transformations offers fresh insights into the experiences of women who migrated in the aftermath of World War Two.
The contributors examine migration not just as a geographical shift but as a deeply economic, psychological, and intercultural journey one that profoundly reshaped women’s identities and understandings of ethnicity The volume also explores the lives of the next generation daughters of diasporic migrants whose experiences are shaped by a constant negotiation between the cultural traditions of their parents and the values of their new homelands
The Ethics of Extremity
On Hearing, Seeing, and Feeling Each Other
Edited by Nelson Varas-Díaz & Vivek Venkatesh
The Ethics of Extremity critically examines how we can understand, interact with, and intervene in a world where what was once considered extreme has become normalized as part of everyday life
Contributors invite us to re-examine our explicit and implicit expectations that ethics would curtail extremity and how those assumptions have frequently failed This opens up a central question: what is the relationship between ethics and extremity today? Rather than offering fixed solutions to this question, the chapters invite readers to rethink how ethics might respond to a world in which extremity is embedded in everyday experience Through contributions from scholars, artists, and activists, the volume explores how extremity manifests in areas such as public health, digital media, gender violence, combat sports, and ecological collapse Drawing on diverse methods and contexts, the book unfolds across five thematic interventions proposed by the authors for grappling with extremity today: engaging in uncomfortable forms of closeness; seeing and feeling extremity anew; reclaiming truth in a post-truth era; rethinking illegality and marginality; and using extremity as a teaching tool Together, these offer entry points for reimagining what ethical life might look like under conditions of persistent crisis
How Narrative Shapes Culture and Society A Socio-Narratology of Power and Influence
James E Siburt
This book analyzes how everyday storytelling operates as a subtle yet powerful mode of influence, shaping identity, belief systems, and leadership across diverse cultural contexts Bridging literary theory, cultural studies, and leadership practice, it offers an interdisciplinary examination of myths, fairy tales, parables, and trickster narratives to uncover the mechanisms through which stories embed and transmit power With critical insight into the ideological and affective force of narrative, James E Siburt reveals how even the most ordinary stories sustain social norms, seed collective values, and mirror the deep structures of human desire and meaning-making

A Cultural Encyclopedia of the Human-Animal Bond
Margo DeMello, Carroll College, USA
Many of us have been deeply affected by our personal experiences with pets But companion animals have also had a lasting impact on society
This book examines the rich cultural significance of pets across the globe and throughout history A collection of more than 100 encyclopedia entries explores the many ways companion animals have shaped and continue to shape human society, offering a broad yet carefully curated introduction to the topic Entries include cross-references to related topics, helping readers make connections and build a more robust conceptual framework Further readings at the end of each entry serve as a gateway to more in-depth study
For thousands of years, the animals we today think of as pets have filled many roles They have helped us hunt and farm, provided pest control, served as protectors, and offered us companionship In fact, some researchers believe that the domestication of the dog was the single innovation that allowed humans to spread across the globe Given the varied and vital roles they’ve played, it’s no surprise that pets have had an enormous impact on society and culture

The Strategic Use of Fidelity in Romantic Relationships
Defensive Monogamy and Self-Protection
James K Beggan
This book offers a bold reinterpretation of monogamy, framing it not as a reflection of romantic desire but as a calculated effort to secure exclusivity from a partner Despite widespread dissatisfaction, infidelity, and high divorce rates, monogamy remains the dominant relationship model Rather than attributing this persistence to irrationality or tradition, James K Beggan explores monogamy as a defensive practice a strategic agreement in which individuals seek commitment primarily to ensure their partner ’s fidelity Rooted in fear of loss, jealousy, and emotional insecurity, this book reveals how monogamy often functions as a protective mechanism rather than a mutual aspiration People overestimate their ability or willingness to uphold monogamous commitments, viewing them less as personal convictions and more as tools for managing risk Drawing on interdisciplinary research across behavioral economics, psychology, sociology, and decision science, this book reconceptualizes monogamy as a form of social bargaining By shifting the focus from morality to strategy, it challenges the ideal of romantic exclusivity and raises a provocative question: Are declarations of loyalty expressions of love, or are they evidence of doubt dressed as devotion?

The Partisan Court
The Era of Political Partisanship on the U S Supreme Court Ryan J Rebe
Drawing on new data and case analyses, Ryan J Rebe provides substantial evidence that justices vote their partisan preferences on election law cases
By focusing specifically on election law, Rebe reveals a consistent pattern of partisanship on the Court The findings controvert popular perceptions of non-biased decision-making and notions of fundamental fairness The aggregate analysis shows that justices vote along party-lines in a majority of election law cases, and consensus-building is rare when there is a contentious electoral issue at stake Exploring topics such as gerrymandering, campaign finance, voter ID laws, and presidential immunity, Rebe demonstrates that Supreme Court decisions often conflict with principles of stare decisis, originalism, and judicial restraint Rebe also conducts a content analysis of the most controversial election law cases of the past twenty-five years, including Crawford v Marion County, Citizens United v FEC, Shelby County v Holder, and Trump v United States In doing so, the book provides a thorough overview of over two decades of election law cases and sheds light on the ways these cases have reshaped America’s electoral institutions

A Socio-Legal Critique of Sports Regulation
Nothing to Do with Fair Play
Jonathan G Merritt
This book is a critical examination of the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern modern sport, questioning whether the ideals of fairness and a ‘level playing field’ extend beyond the pitch into the boardrooms where decisions are made
Focusing on the self-regulation model prevalent in the UK and its global influence, Jonathan G Merritt explores the intersection of sport and law through detailed analysis of statutes, case law, and legal principles The book interrogates whether contemporary sports governance serves the interests of its primary stakeholders players, athletes, and spectators or those of a powerful ruling elite By drawing on themes from politics, sociology, and religion, it exposes the deeper power dynamics at play and challenges the assumption that law in sport consistently upholds justice and equality This is an essential resource for scholars of sports law, governance, and socio-legal studies

Policies that Perpetuate Inequality
Colorblind Bias
Leland Ware
This book examines how “colorblind” policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality
Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity particularly in education Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse

Paloma E Villegas & Tanya Aberman

Sexy Selfie Nation
Standing Up for Yourself in Today's Toxic, Sexist Culture
Leora Tanenbaum
In this eye-opening new work, slut-shaming expert Leora Tanenbaum explains that when we criticize young women for wearing body-revealing outfits and sharing sexy selfies, we are losing the plot
The problem is not with the actions young women take but with the toxic, sexist conditions they are responding to
Young people are sick of being held responsible for others’ inability to keep their eyes off their bodies They explain that most of the time, they aren’t even trying to sexualize themselves and, when they do, they are taking control over their bodily autonomy and standing up for themselves
Tanenbaum demonstrates that “sexy” does not mean “inviting sex,” and that when young women and nonbinary people embrace a sexualized aesthetic or post sexy pictures, they do so on their own terms
In choosing to wear body-revealing clothing and posting sexy selfies, young people are taking a stand for themselves and against three pillars of nonconsensual sexualization that shape their daily lives: Gendered dress codes, which allow teachers and administrators to scrutinize and comment on girls’ bodies; Nonconsensual sharing of intimate images (“revenge porn” and “deepfakes”), which portray girls and women as sexual objects deserving of public humiliation; The aftermath of sexual harassment and assault, when victims are told still today, even after #MeToo that they were “asking for it ”
There’s nothing wrong with taking and sharing intimate pictures There’s nothing wrong with feeling good about one’s body Everyone should be able to stand up for themselves, experience a sense of bodily autonomy, and shape and share their image on their own terms If you like cultural criticism that supports women of all identities, then you'll love Sexy Selfie Nation

That's What He Said What Men Say About Gender and Society
J E Sumerau & Giuseppina Valle Holway
What does it mean to be a man”? What do men think about contemporary notions of gender and the social issues stemming from these ideas?
Drawing from the responses of thousands of men, J E Sumerau and Giuseppina Valle Holway invite readers to see how men react to aspects of what it means to be a man today They argue that an interest in men’s attitudes can provide revelations about broader relationships between gender and society This book uncovers how men affirm or reject contemporary aspects of manhood, and the ways these attitudes influence important aspects of their lives including relationships, families, religion, health, and sexual behaviors Bookended by a methodological appendix of the measures, approach, and limitations of the decade-spanning study examined, That’s What He Said is an important analytical introduction to manhood in contemporary society

Gendered Design
An Interdisciplinary Framework
Pinar Kaygan
Gendered Design: An Interdisciplinary Framework is concerned with the feminist question of how products, both digital and physical, are and can be gendered by design It proposes “gendered design” as a conceptual framework for the use of design researchers, educators and practitioners to analyze, critically reflect on, challenge and transform the ways in which design processes and methodologies contribute to the prevalent gender power relations Presenting a comprehensive review of the extant feminist work, this book distinguishes between the normative and interventional gendered design practices It identifies the explicit and intentional as well as the unreflexively and ultimately careless practices, which lead to, respectively, gender-stereotypical and gender-blind products This book stresses that the prevalence of such practices should not prevent us from exploring the interventional forms of gendered design Drawing on four case studies, Gendered Design attests that, if products have such an important role in gender relations, then they can also be shaped in ways that advance gender equity in society by integrating gender-sensitive, gender-responsive, gender-inclusive, and gendertransformative considerations into product design processes and methodologies

A Bookshop of One's Own
How a Group of Women Set Out to Change the World
Jane Cholmeley
What was it like to start a feminist bookshop, in an industry dominated by men? How could a lesbian thrive in Thatcher ’s time, with the government legislating to restrict her rights? How do you run a business when your real aim is to change the world?
Silver Moon was the dream of three women – a bookshop with the mission to promote the work of female writers and create a much-needed safe space for any woman Founded in 1980s London against a backdrop of homophobia and misogyny, it was a testament to the power of community, growing into Europe’s biggest women’s bookshop and hosting a constellation of literary stars from Margaret Atwood and Maya Angelou to Angela Carter While contending with day-to-day struggles common to other booksellers, plus the additional burdens of misogyny and the occasional hate crime, Jane Cholmeley and her booksellers created a thriving business But they also played a crucial and relatively unsung part in one the biggest social movements of our time
A Bookshop of One’s Own is a fascinating slice of social history from the heart of the women’s liberation movement Written with heart and humour, it reveals the struggle and joy that comes with starting an underdog business, while being a celebration of the power women have to change the narrative when they are the ones holding the pen

Digital Intimacies
Queer Men and Smartphones in Times of Crisis
Jamie Hakim, King's College, London, UK, James Cummings, University of York, UK & Ingrid Young, University of Edinburgh, UK
Queer men’s cultures of intimacy have long been sites of fierce contestation Indeed, debates have raged for decades over issues such as monogamy, safer sex, sexual racism and gay marriage The introduction of the smartphone in 2008 only intensified these debates whilst also raising a further set of questions which are explored in this open access book
Through interviews with a diverse group of 43 queer men about their smartphone mediated intimacies, Digital Intimacies reveals that queer men use their smartphones, not simply to arrange intimate encounters, but more specifically to gain a sense of control over the parts of their intimate lives that make them feel most vulnerable

Women and Education
Global Lives in Focus
Erin Kenny, Missouri State University, USA
This volume captures how women's education is shaped by the lived context of women and girls around the world, focusing on the cultural construction of gender, political economy, religion, and history
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 volume examines what education is like for women and girls across the globe
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 too
Written by a cultural anthropologist, the book shows how cultural perspectives about women's education impact the daily lives of girls and women It provides context for how the lives of women in those countries may be shaped by political economy, religion, and history High school students, undergraduates, and general readers will be able to make crosscultural comparisons of women's education around the world

Emotions, Bodies, and Identities in the Hair and Beauty Salon
Caring Beyond Skin Deep Hannah McCann
Hair and beauty salons are a common feature of daily life, with salons seemingly on every street corner What are we to make of this demand? Drawing on ethnographic and other methods, Emotions, Bodies, and Identities in the Hair and Beauty Salon suggests that salons are about more than just simply maintaining appearances This book argues that salons are about care work, which involves responding to emotions through talk, managing bodies through touch, and curating identities through aesthetics While feminists have long identified the impositions of ideals pushed by the beauty industry, there has been less attention to generative aspects of beauty culture This book tries to put the care involved in salon work on the radar, examining how workers manage talk and their therapeutic-like roles, touch and physical intimacy, and identities via the curation of surfaces in the salon In a context where visits to salons are often described by clients as “selfcare”, this book is a reminder that someone else is often doing the work This book highlights how salon workers provide clients with care that is often profoundly meaningful in terms of responding to emotions, bodies, and identities, and that this is indeed labour that ought to be valued and supported accordingly

Feminism and Feminist Movements in America
An Encyclopedia of Ideals and Activism
Edited by Sarah Kornfield, Hope College, USA
Offers deeply researched entries on nearly 200 essential people, events, organizations, laws, concepts, and issues that have defined US feminist movements, from the founding era through today
US feminist movements are defined by persistence, bravery, and a steadfast belief in the fundamental worth of girls and women These carefully curated entries delve thoughtfully into topics of significant public and scholarly interest in the realms of feminism, women's rights, and gender dynamics in both public and private spaces Featured here are the activists and ideas that have challenged--and in many instances prevailed over--inequities in US society, from key figures such as Angela Davis and Betty Friedan to significant events such as the Women's March on Washington in 2017 and the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 America's feminist movements have fundamentally changed the lives of millions of people of every sex, gender, race, ethnicity, faith, and sexual orientation This resource shows how feminist movements have also been integral in championing the many women who have made pioneering contributions in fields ranging from science and medicine to politics and advocacy It also casts an unflinching light on the issues that women continue to face every day in fighting for equality in the home, workplace, classroom, and popular media in the 21st century
Authored by feminist scholars, activists, and practitioners, this is an essential first stop for readers looking for a comprehensive introduction to US feminism’s most relevant milestones and the concepts needed to contextualize its history and chart its future

Women's Equality in America
Examining the Facts
Nancy Hendricks, Independent Scholar, USA
Written in vivid prose and with a keen eye for detail, Women's Equality in America is a valuable resource for understanding the issues and trends that dominate public discourse in discussions of women's rights and gender equality in America
Since its inception, the women's equality movement in America has been criticized for moving too slowly, moving too quickly, being too demanding, or not being demanding enough Some of its goals have aroused passionate opposition in those who believed women's equality contradicted not only basic human biology, but also the word of God Meanwhile, Americans voice starkly different opinions about where women stand in their quest for equality in American workplaces, classrooms, boardrooms, and homes
Women's Equality in America: Examining the Facts presents sensibly-organized and accurate summaries of the relevant facts concerning all of these claims and counterclaims But while the volume is primarily concerned with providing an accurate picture of the state of women's equality in the 21st century, it also provides vital contextual coverage of major historical turning points and important historical figures, from leaders of the Seneca Falls women's rights convention in 1848 to the organizers of the #MeToo movement
