Each chapter is written in accessible language and will contain
minimal tables, graphs, and figures – therefore, this volume
should also be of interest to non-academic readers, the media, and
to practitioners who are involved in various aspects of American
politics. This edition includes chapters on salient topics such as
reproductive justice, queer of color politics, and social
movements. Features original authors as well as other notable and
up and coming scholars in our field in order to represent the
diverse and innovative scholarship being conducted in our field.
The book is clearly well-written and easy for undergraduate and
postgraduate students to read and follow. The incorporation of
intersectionality stands out from other books on gender and
politics because it doesn’t only focus on gender. Black feminism
and intersectionality in particular are theoretical frameworks that
other scholars across the globe use to study minoritized women’s
politics in their localized context, we expect the theories and
frameworks used in studies of international scholars will draw from
this text.

'I can't make my work without the collaboration of the community.
Their willingness to allow their story to be told is an important
part of what I see.' Sabelo Mlangeni Many of the stories that
Sabelo Mlangeni tells are of communities on the periphery of
society. Taking time to build relationships, he gains trust and,
eventually, access to inner circles and sacred spaces. Based in
South Africa, he has focused on Johannesburg (Big City, 2002-15),
as well as the rural areas surrounding his hometown of Driefontein
(At Home, 2004-9), and the country towns that 'freedom and
opportunity have somehow skipped past' (Ghost Town, 2009-11).
People are at the heart of Mlangeni's photography, often those who
have been pushed to the so-called 'margins', or whose stories could
have easily gone untold, such as the street-sweepers of Invisible
Women (2006) and the hostel residents in Men Only (2008-9). In My
Storie (2012) and No Problem (2013) he reveals the legacy of
apartheid in the stark divisions that remain between racially
segregated communities; and in Country Girls (2003-9) he explores
gender roles in portraits ranging from the glamorous to the tender
and intimate. Mlangeni's work seeks to recentre themes of
friendship, love and joy in the face of ever-present risk. Above
all, his images tell stories of seeking out your people, choosing a
family and building a home, wherever you find yourself. The Tate
Photography Series is a celebration of international photography in
the Tate collection and an introduction to some of the greatest
photographers at work today. With the direct involvement of living
photographers in collaboration with photography curators, these
books showcase the best and most notable images taken across the
globe, from city streets to seashores, moving across landscapes and
through subcultures, in a visual travelogue of our world. Each book
contains a new conversation between curator and photographer and is
prefaced with a short introduction. The theme for the first four
titles is Community and Solidarity. Also available in this series
are: Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen (978-1-84976-800-9) Liz Johnson Artur
(978-1-84976-801-6) Sheba Chhachhi (978-1-84976-803-0)
The politics of the body is often highly contested, culturally
specific, and controlled, and this book calls our attention to how
bodies are included or excluded in the polity. With governments
regulating bodies in ways that mark the political boundaries of who
is a citizen, worthy of protection and rights, as well as those who
transgress socially proscribed norms, the contributors to this
volume offer a systematic investigation of both theoretical and
empirical account of bodily differences broadly defined. These
chapters, diverse in both the populations and the political
behaviours examined, as well as the methodological approaches
employed, showcase the significance of body politics in a way few
edited works in political science currently do. Arguing that the
body is an important site to understand power relations, this book
will be of interest to those studying the unequal application of
rights to women, racial and ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ community,
and people with disabilities. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Politics, Groups, and Identities.

Lewis and Sarah Allen encourage and exhort believers to approach
life's adversities in a biblically grounded way by leaning on

Follow a spotty ladybird as she explores outdoors, and lift petals
and leaves to meet lots of other bugs along the way. This charming
book for little children has lots to discover and talk about on
every page, from buzzy bees visiting flowers to a line of ants and
munching caterpillars.
On the precipice of the Sixth Extinction, we face a frightening
fate - ongoing ecological crises that may result in not only the
extinction of a million species within decades but another mass
extinction event like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. In
Kairotic Inspiration: Imagining the Future in the Sixth Extinction,
Sarah Allen suggests that humans face this future, whatever it
brings, by attending to the ways in which all beings are caught in
the entangled processes of becoming. But change is often painful
and requires inspiration. Allen explores a theory that shifts the
concept of inspiration away from the unique genius of the
individual and instead situates it within conceptual, human and
nonhuman animal relations that can disrupt the state of being. To
expand the understanding of change beyond the polarized binary that
defines difference, the author builds on Nietzsche's
conceptualization of the Dionysian, which explains how the self is
unmade through immersive experiences. This unmaking creates room
for a different experience of becoming, one which Donna Haraway
calls "becoming-with" and "producing-with." In the end, Allen
demonstrates how deepening kairotic connections can transform us as
beings, thrusting us further into the processes of becoming and
embracing the change that is possible in this living, changing,
endangered world.

Explore the stunning, moving, and exciting work of visual
artist-activist Zanele Muholi Born in South Africa in 1972, Zanele
Muholi came to prominence in the early 2000s with photographs that
sought to envision black lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and
intersex lives beyond deviance or victimhood. Muholi s work
challenges hetero-patriarchal ideologies and representations,
presenting the participants in their photographs as confident and
beautiful individuals bravely existing in the face of prejudice,
intolerance, and, frequently, violence. While Muholi s intimate
photographs of others launched their international career, their
intense self-portraits solidified it. The illustrations include
images from the key series Muholi has produced over the past 20
years, as well as never-before-published and recent works. This
book, and the exhibition it accompanies, present the full breadth
of Muholi s photographic and activist practice.
Libby was born with a heart three sizes too big. She takes daily
shots, can't do monkey bars, and doesn't always read social cues.
But having Turner Syndrome doesn't mean she can't be a scientist
when she grows up. Besides her big sister Nonny, Libby's hero is
astronomer Cecilia Payne, who discovered what stars are made of.
When Nonny comes home to stay and tells Libby that she and her
husband Thomas are having a baby, Libby knows what to do: She'll
make Cecilia Payne the subject of her entry into a contest, and
give all the first-place prize money - twenty-five thousand
dollars! - to Nonny's growing family. But it'll take more tenacity
than she's ever needed to help take care of the sister who has
always taken care of her, all while navigating school with a unique
set of challenges.

In Force, Drive, Desire, Rudolf Bernet develops a philosophical
foundation of psychoanalysis focusing on human drives. Rather than
simply drawing up a list of Freud's borrowings from Schopenhauer
and Nietzsche, or Lacan's from Hegel and Sartre, Bernet
orchestrates a dialogue between philosophy and psychoanalysis that
goes far beyond what these eminent psychoanalysts knew about
philosophy. By relating the writings of Freud, Lacan, and other
psychoanalysts to those of Aristotle, Leibniz, Schopenhauer,
Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, and, more tacitly, Bergson and
Deleuze, Bernet brings to light how psychoanalysis both prolongs
and breaks with the history of Western metaphysics and philosophy
of nature. Rereading the long history of metaphysics (or at least a
few of its key moments) in light of psychoanalytic inquiries into
the nature and function of drive and desire also allows for a
rewriting of the history of philosophy. Specifically, it allows
Bernet to bring to light a different history of metaphysics, one
centered less on Aristotelian substance (ousia) and more on the
concept of dunamis-a power or potentiality for a realization toward
which it strives with all its might. Relating human drives to
metaphysical forces also bears fruit for a renewed philosophy of
life and subjectivity.
Well educated and with a gift for writing, Hannah More was set to
become one of the leading lights in the literary and artistic
circles of the 1700s. Gradually, however, she realised that only
Jesus Christ could bring her fulfilment. Hannah More is best known
today for her penmanship but also for her defence of women's rights
and her anti-slavery stance. Her life of would-be-fame was changed
to a life of faith.
