Prehistoric Florida societies, particularly those of the
peninsula, have been largely ignored or given only minor
consideration in overviews of the Mississippian southeast (A.D.
1000-1600). This groundbreaking volume lifts the veil of uniformity
frequently draped over these regions in the literature, providing
the first comprehensive examination of Mississippi-period
archaeology in the state.
Featuring contributions from some of the most prominent
researchers in the field, this collection describes and synthesizes
the latest data from excavations throughout Florida. In doing so,
it reveals a diverse and vibrant collection of cleared-field maize
farmers, part-time gardeners, hunter-gatherers, and coastal and
riverine fisher/shellfish collectors who formed a distinctive part
of the Mississippian southeast.

Portraits of Change is a deep, intimate look at the powerful impact
of the women's movement and the widespread social upheaval of the
1960s and 1970s on women's lives. The author follows four
generations of women in her family from the turn of the last
century to the present as they came of age, married, divorced, and
grew old. Enduring parallels and family patterns tying one
generation to the next were overwhelmed by the many differences
erupting from the changes that swept through this country at
mid-century. The changes were so vast, so powerful, that her
grandmothers' experiences of marriage, sex, work, motherhood,
divorce, and aging bore little resemblance to her mother's or her
own. Yet on the most personal levels they dreamed the same dreams,
suffered the same disappointments, and shared the same joys. In
each generation they responded to the constraints and freedoms that
would shape the next, not thinking their reactions would lead to
unanticipated and often painful consequences for themselves, their
daughters, and those who loved them. Relying on interviews
conducted almost thirty years ago with her grandmothers as well as
her own experiences and those of her mother and daughters, Mary
White Stewart looks with unerring honesty at these lives and
wonders at both the hard-earned freedoms and the painful,
unanticipated consequences of rapid, historic change.
Addresses the many forms of global violence against women and shows
how the psychology of individuals, institutions, and societies
perpetuate the oppression of women. In this eye-opening study, the
author asserts that institutionalized definitions of masculinity
and femininity, along with the social and economic inequality among
the sexes, help perpetuate the daily and deadly violence against
women all across the world. This second edition of a classic work
examines the latest discussions on gender relations, including the
current debate over whether prostitution and pornography should be
deemed inherently violent and the role of western countries in the
global response to violence against women. Contains the most recent
research on trafficking, mail order brides, and comfort women
Explains the roles of power, inequality, and gender hierarchy in
violence against women Examines the belief system behind
institutionalized violence, including such acts as honor crimes and
dowry deaths Links current forms of violence with relics of the
past-foot binding, comfort women, and charity girls
