Confronting Global Gender Justice contains a unique,
interdisciplinary collection of essays that address some of the
most complex and demanding challenges facing theorists, activists,
analysts, and educators engaged in the tasks of defining and
researching women's rights as human rights and fighting to make
these rights realities in women's lives. With thematic sections on
Complicating Discourses of Victimhood, Interrogating Practices of
Representation, Mobilizing Strategies of Engagement, and Crossing
Legal Landscapes, this volume offers both specific case studies and
more general theoretical interventions. Contributors examine and
assess current understandings of gender justice, and offer new
paradigms and strategies for dealing with the complexities of
gender and human rights as they arise across local and
international contexts. In addition, it offers a particularly
timely assessment of the effectiveness and limits of international
rights instruments, governmental and nongovernmental organization
activities, grassroots and customary practices, and narrative and
photographic representations. This book is a valuable resource for
both undergraduate and graduate students in fields such as Gender
or Women's Studies, Human Rights, Cultural Studies, Anthropology,
and Sociology, as well as researchers and professionals working in
related areas.

What is, what was the human? This book argues that the making of the human as it is now understood implies a renogotiation of the relationship between the self and the world. The development of Renaissance technologies of difference such as mapping, colonialism and anatomy paradoxically also illuminated the similarities between human and non-human. This collection considers the borders between humans and their imagined others: animals, women, native subjects, machines. It examines border creatures (hermaphrodites, wildmen, and cyborgs) and border practices (science, surveying, and pornography).

Is it possible to overcome the enduring problem of child
maltreatment? In Eradicating Child Maltreatment, leading
international figures in the field of child welfare address this
enduring and thorny question, setting out a public health approach
to prevention. It draws on groundbreaking research and practice on
prevention and early intervention from around the globe spanning
health, social care, education and criminal justice. Contributors
describe what is known about the incidence of child maltreatment,
how far we have succeeded in eradicating it, which preventative
strategies have been proven to be effective, and offers evidenced
recommendations for policy and practice. Aiming to draw us nearer
to the goal of a world free from child maltreatment first
articulated by the visionary paediatrician Dr. C. Henry Kempe in
1978, this important book provides new insights for professionals,
managers, academics and policymakers across the range of child and
family welfare services.
