"Feminist Review" is the UK's leading feminist journal. A
combination of the academic and the activist, it has an acclaimed
position within women's studies courses and the women's movement.
This issue of "Feminist Review" offers a current feminist reading
and analysis of ethnicity. It ranges from an analysis of the social
geographies of whiteness in the USA to a variety of perspectives on
the break-up of Yugoslavia and how this has been experienced by
women living with the political realities of civil war.
This issue of "Feminist Review" contains a range of articles which
discuss pressing contemporary issues for feminists. Shireen
Hassim's analysis of gender issues in Inkatha looks at the ways in
which Zulu nationalism has legitimated forms of male power through
a return to "tradition" and "the family". Lama Abnu Odeh in
"Post-Colonialism, Feminism and the Veil" explores the complexities
of her own and other women's attitudes to the veil - that most
potent symbol of Islamic culture. Jane Lewis reflects in her
article on the way in which the menopause and HRT have become
subjects of intensive debate amongst the medical profession and
social science researchers, and aims to place feminist concerns
within this agenda. Jenny Morris challenges feminists to think
about disability by arguing that it has never been central to the
mainstream feminist agenda and that feminist analysis has an
important contribution to make to the understanding of disability.
Finally Anna Marie Smith addresses the concerns of the Feminists
Against Pornography.
This collection of articles on women's issues should be of interest
to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics of women's studies,

Debating Discourses, Practising Feminisms brings together
international debates on the discourses and practices of
contemporary feminisms. Discussions range across conflicting
analyses of gender and politics at the UN conference at Beijing;
nationalism and religious conflict in contemporary India;
Re-imaginings of science and subjectivity in anglophone science
fiction; and the political and intellectual complexities at stake
in the project of lesbian studies in the UK. Contributions from
these diverse fields come together to give critical attention to
the complex terrain of Feminism in the 1990s.
This text is concerned with the interrelationship of gender and the
circuits of consumption, distribution, production and reproduction.
It considers the different ways in which gender intervenes in all
parts of the circuit and the linkages between the different
elements. In opening up these questions, the book invites a
rethinking of the production/distribution/consumption circuit in
relation to the new regimes of accumulation, power and politics
produced by late capitalism at the end of the millennium.

This theme issue is an exploration of the way in which feminist
ideas appear in popular forms, especially feminist novelists, such
as Angela Carter and Marge Piercy, have handled particular issues;
it considers writing and it duscusses the popular genres that have
been taken up by feminist writers - lesbian romance and stories for
teenagers.
The central concern is with the problems of putting across feminist
ideas in popular crative writing. Which ideas can be presented in
this form? How will they be read? Are some forms more amenable to
fiminism than others? Is feminism being distorted by
popularization? Does feminism come across as a message' that spoils
the pleasure of reading?
First Published in 1992. A theme issue on women and health: from
the selling of HRT to the art of a cancer survivor. Plus a special
feature on AIDS and HIV activism.
The 1990s are proving to be a time, quite literally, of shifting
territories in Europe - East and West. Both the revolutions in
Eastern Europe in 1989 and the breaking of economic boundaries in
1992 are creating a new Europe; a Europe in which old questions
have to be re-asked and old assumptions revaluated. This "Feminist
Review" special issue, "Shifting Territories", explores these
political changes in all their complexity, and in particular looks
at how these changes will affect women and feminism. "Feminist
Review" employs its perspective to ask such pertinent questions as:
how can we make sense of these major transformations? How should we
respond to them? What part should feminists play in the new world
order? Is it so "new"? With articles covering the relationship
between nationalism and feminism, the women's movement in Eastern
Europe, feminism and the crisis of socialism, this "Feminist
Review" special issue explores these shifting territories and tries
to make sense of the reverberations affecting all our lives. This
book should be of interest to academics and students of women's
studies, cultural studies, media studies and literature, as well as
the general reader intere
