In 2015, Mexico City declared itself a "gay-friendly" city and followed up with a gay tourist guide and new laws permitting changes to gender markers on legal documents, sanctioning same-sex marriage, and allowing joint adoption of children. At the same time, patterns of violence and discrimination against women, trans, and queer people have continued throughout the country. In Queer Relajo, David Tenorio argues that while Mexico City aims to bring visibility to queer sociality, the benefits of this visibility and legitimization of queer space remain unclear. Combining readings of film, digital media, and performance with drag autoethnography, Queer Relajo quite literally plays with how relajo (or playfulness) structures the spaces of queer nightlife in urban Mexico City by revealing how nighttime intimacy can minimize the paralyzing effects of violence and precarity in a neoliberal Mexico. Considering the political implications of when a queer/trans person is present at night, Tenorio argues that queer modes of feeling and play are not only essential to queer liberation, but also resist neoliberal commodification and heteronormativity.

Marianne Weber (1870-1954) steht seit Jahrzehnten im Schatten ihres Ehemanns. Max Weber haette ohne ihren Einsatz seine Weltgeltung nicht erlangt. Zu Lebzeiten war es anders: Marianne Weber war in Heidelberg und deutschlandweit durch ihr Engagement in der Frauenbewegung bekannt. Als gefragte Rednerin und Autorin trat sie kaempferisch fuer Frauenbildung, Gleichberechtigung und gleiche Entlohnung der Frauen ein. 1919 schrieb sie Demokratiegeschichte: Als erste gewaehlte Frau hielt sie eine Rede vor einem deutschen Parlament. In der jungen Weimarer Republik repraesentierte sie als Vorsitzende des Bundes Deutscher Frauenvereine die buergerliche Frauenbewegung. Die hier vorgelegte Auswahl ihrer Reden, Aufsaetze und Zeitungsartikel zeigt sie als eine politisch kaempferische, philosophisch argumentierende Frau, die fuer die Selbstbestimmung von Frauen eintrat, aber stets den versoehnlichen Ausgleich zwischen den Geschlechtern, aber auch mit politisch Andersdenkenden suchte.

DiPiero, Dan, Big Feelings: Queer and Feminist Indie Rock After Riot Grrrl. (Tracking Pop) 248 pp. 2025:10 (U. Michigan Pr., US) <751-990>

In the past decade, a distinctive resurgence of indie music has seen young, queer, and feminist artists reformulating the genre with strategic reappropriations of 90s grunge and 2000s-era pop. Big Feelings offers a nuanced analysis of these musicians and the socio-political crises informing their sounds. Dan DiPiero situates this new wave of indie music within the context of the emotional sensibilities and social orientations of a young generation flattened by an endless stream of everyday traumas. Listening closely to Soccer Mommy, Indigo De Souza, Jay Som, SASAMI, The Ophelias, Vagabon, boygenius, and more, Big Feelings traces points of resonance and connection that help fans perceive politics where it might first appear absent. By bringing listeners' experiences into the analysis, DiPiero shows how indie rock feminisms have shifted since the 1990s, rejecting overt political messages in favor of sonic catharsis, and reflecting the complex, ambivalent feeling of being young while the world burns. In reprising the sounds of an alt-rock associated in public consciousness with white male pain, Big Feelings doubles down on the stereotypical association between femininity and emotionality to perform whole spectrums of feeling in varied states of overwhelm. In doing so, these artists draw attention to overlooked histories of women and queer musicians who have been forging indie rock all along, while also remaking how the music matters in the present.

Killer Bodies offers a history of the single most critically-derided subgenre in American superhero comics: the 'bad girl' comics of the 1990s, which chronicled the blood-soaked adventures of barely-dressed and improbably-proportioned action heroines for an audience of adolescent boys. While not in any way attempting to rehabilitate the genre, which for the most part amply deserved its reputation as sexist and borderline pornographic, this book situates it within its original cultural context, as the result of a matrix of influences that included third-wave feminism, neopaganism, 'girl power', the rise of the internet, the growing popularity of manga, supermodel beauty ideals, and the mainstreaming of pornography. It explores why and how the figure of the anti-heroic, physically aggressive, sexually objectified heroine arose within American comics culture, and the commercial and ideological factors that led to the genre's rapid rise and equally rapid decline amidst the crisis-racked comics industry of the mid-1990s.

In 1788, Mary Smith was ruined and banished from "civilised" society when her neighbor accused her of carrying a bastard child. To silence the ruinous rumors and vindicate her name, Smith sued him for defamation. But in court, she faced the onerous burden, entrenched within English law of sexual slander, of proving "special damage." Smith should have lost her case, but her action set off a remarkable reform movement. In Special Damage, Jessica Lake offers a comparative legal history of gendered hate speech, verbal abuse, and sexual harassment across 19th-century America, Australia, and England. Drawing upon original archival material, she tracks the creation of the Slander of Women reforms that made it easier for women to sue when called "whores." Lake reveals, for the first time, the cases brought by women that spurred and benefitted from these reforms. In doing so, she details how debates about women, speech, and reputation circulated through transnational common law networks, connecting countries, colonies, and continents. The Slander of Women movement furthered legal protections for women, but also created links between ideas of whiteness, femininity, chastity, and civilization. Special Damage tells a compelling story that questions the costs and compromises of legal progress in a patriarchal and unequal "civilised" New World.

Women, African Americans, and the evolution of an American city St. Louis was the pivot of the free states and slave states and the border of the settled East and frontier West. Sharon Hartman Strom draws on disparate and previously untapped sources to weave the personal and public lives of women and both free and enslaved African Americans into city history. Strom's analysis shows how the embrace of Protestantism by people of color sparked a vigorous antislavery movement. During the Civil War, several prominent citizens served in the Lincoln cabinet and Congress while Missouri's decision to remain in the Union allowed the city to find its own ways to end slavery and grant citizenship to African Americans. Years later, biracial movements to advance equality collapsed when the East St. Louis race riot of 1917 affirmed that racist attitudes and structures still dominated the region. Illuminating and nuanced, Becoming St. Louis offers a diverse social and political history of the city during a transformative era.

Economies of Gender: Masculinity, "Mail Order Brides," and Women's Labor offers a provocative exploration of the international dating industry, challenging simplistic narratives of human trafficking and scams while shedding light on the economic dynamics of gender. Through twelve years of fieldwork, the book delves into the motivations and experiences of men who seek relationships abroad, driven by dissatisfaction with Western women who, they believe, no longer embody traditional femininity. By examining romantic tourism hotspots such as Ukraine, Colombia, and the Philippines, Economies of Gender reveals how these international settings serve as "intimate frontiers," where men seek to extract femininity capital and bolster their status. It illuminates the often-unseen economic underpinnings of relationships and questions how global gender dynamics shape desires, fantasies, and intimate markets. Through its compelling analysis, the book broadens the conversation on gender, power, and the commodification of intimacy in a globalized world.

Kimport, Katrina (ed.), When Roe Fell: How Barriers, Inequities, and Systemic Failures of Justice in Abortion Became Visible. (Critical Issues in Health and Medicine) 214 pp. 2025:11 (Rutgers U. Pr., US) <751-312>

In June 2022, Roe was overturned. The constitutional right to abortion was gone, and abortion was soon banned or severely restricted in states across the country. Clinics closed. Abortion seekers were turned away. It was a bombshell, dramatically altering the geographical landscape of abortion legality and availability. But it did not change everything. Even under Roe, for many in the US, abortion was a right in name only. The fall of Roe changed a great deal, but it is also noteworthy for what it did not change-and, perhaps, for what it made more visible about whom the Roe legal regime served and whom it failed. In this volume, an interdisciplinary group of abortion scholars examines the history, politics, and practical experience of abortion leading up to the overturning of Roe, placing this judicial decision in a longer history of abortion in the US. Chapters delve into what the fall of Roe revealed about abortion seekers, abortion provision, and abortion advocacy. With diverse voices, formats, and styles, chapters include geographically specific deep dives and incisive big picture assessments. Collectively, they demystify abortion and abortion research, laying bare common misunderstandings and misinformation about the topic, and belying claims that Dobbs "changed everything." In the aftermath of the fall of Roe, this volume offers readers the opportunity to reorient scholarship and understanding about abortion, recognizing what was already true before Roe was overturned and how losing the protections of Roe forced, enabled, and perhaps even facilitated a new era of abortion. Only by understanding the historical moment when Roe fell can we anticipate what might happen next in the ongoing social and political contention over reproductive autonomy and freedom.

Featuring both new and classic pieces from the Nursing Clio blog, leading historians of reproductive health provide insights that connect past struggles with today's ongoing battles over bodies, reproductive rights, and health care. This collection offers intimate, urgent scholarship that speaks to the present moment. A powerful resource for classrooms and individual readers alike, The Nursing Clio Reader invites reflection on how the past informs current debates, urging us to engage deeply with the history of reproductive justice in a time of unprecedented change, underscoring that indeed "the personal is historical."

In conversation with ninety-one women over the age of eighty in California, northern Iceland, south India, and among Sisters of St. Joseph in western New York, A View from Life's Edge explores how, in the face of death, a sense of what really matters can clarify. Here we find a loosening of certitudes normally meant to keep life's unwieldiness at bay, a chipping away at the illusion that any of us are captains of our own perfectly sailing ships. Reflecting on stories and opinions shared with her across the globe, Dempsey describes how a countercultural realism and an expanded sense of wonder repeatedly emerge in later life. These are offerings that call for our attention and yet face a double challenge. In as much as we strive to deny life's finitude, we deny older adults their voices. A central conundrum of ageism is that we silence out of fear that which could quell our fears.

The promises, limitations, and futures of feminist mentorship and pedagogy in higher education Feminist mentorship remains in short supply within communication studies and feminist and gender studies. A diverse group of contributors from the undergraduate level to senior scholars use Black feminist, Chicana feminist, and queer lenses to explore feminist mentorship examples in both pedagogical and relationship-building contexts. The first section draws upon the contributors' unique and situated experiences of mentorship in academia. Essays explore their past and current experiences with feminist mentorship in relationships that take many forms: faculty members with fellow faculty members; faculty members with undergraduate and graduate students; and faculty members who feel as if they have become family with their mentors and mentees. In the second section, the contributors deeply interrogate the practices of feminist mentoring by problematizing practices and offering new ways, places, and formats that make space and consider new possibilities. A conclusion reflects on the future of feminist mentorship amidst contemporary debates and concerns in higher education. Enriching and hopeful, Queer, Women of Color, and Critical Approaches to Feminist Mentorship and Pedagogy is a much-needed challenge to traditional forms of mentorship. Contributors: Lindsey B.

Deepens our understanding of Black women's anti-rape activism by attending to how their tactics shifted in response to the federal War on Crime Beginning in the 1970s, a series of government agencies established to carry out the federal "war on crime" offered financial and ideological support to the fledgling feminist movement against sexual violence. These entities promoted the carceral tactics of policing, prosecution, and punishment as the only viable means of controlling rape, and they expected anti-rape organizers to embrace them. Yet Black women anti-rape organizers viewed police as a source of violence within their communities, not a solution to it. Between the Street and the State examines how Black anti-rape organizers critically engaged both the feminist movement against sexual violence and the federal War on Crime between 1974 and 1994. In Philadelphia, Washington, DC, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Atlanta, activists inflected Black women's longstanding tradition of community-based caring labor with the Black feminist condemnation of patriarchal and state violence. Their multifaceted and adaptable brand of anti-rape advocacy was premised on sustaining the survival of Black women and girls individually and Black communities more broadly. In this way, Black anti-rape activists countered the growing emphasis within the feminist movement on controlling rape through carceral collaborations. They acted subversively, redirecting state funds and state-funded research premised on rape control to projects that offered care to Black victims. In public education, social welfare, and public health, they instituted preventative education and emotional healing as modes of justice. At times, they outspokenly resisted carceral legislation that displaced their caring labor with punitive programs of rape control. Spotlighting Black anti-rape organizers' enduring commitment to care work shows that the cooptation of the feminist movement against sexual violence by law enforcement entities was never total. Between the Street and the State deepens our historical understanding of Black women's tradition of anti-rape activism by attending to how their tactics shifted in response to the political realignments of the post-civil rights era.

Advancing asexuality studies in new, queer directions-beyond identity and beyond the human We've all seen the page that states "this page intentionally left blank" or heard an authority figure declare "nothing to see here, folks," and yet the so-called blank page has writing on it, and folks definitely have something to see. From the entry point of these and other paradoxical declarations of absence, KJ Cerankowski applies the aesthetics of asexuality to theorize silences, nothings, and emptiness. In the process, he explores new ways of making meaning out of the supposedly meaningless. Throughout this investigation into absences, Cerankowski moves intuitively and idiosyncratically, taking readers along a series of waypoints that include Border, the acclaimed horror film about a customs officer who can smell fear; Jenny Hval's discomfiting novel Paradise Rot; and disabled artist Finnegan Shannon's iconic benches. Experimental in form as well as content, Nothing Wanting offers an innovative and mischievous reading experience that plays with structural elements like redaction, erasure, supertext, and repetition. With a deeply anticapitalist, anticolonial motivating ideology, it pushes to the limits of language, subverting commonplace notions of books, knowledge, and what it is to be human. Moving beyond identity and representation, Nothing Wanting is playful, fascinating, and provocative as it conceives asexuality as additive and expansive rather than lacking. As it reveals the vibrant lifeworlds that hum in silences and thrum in stillnesses, Nothing Wanting pivots from the imposition of wanting nothing to the craving of nothing wanting: satisfied, yet always yearning for more worlds of thriving-for everything and everyone.

New strategies for resistance and opposing colonialism From the COVID-19 pandemic to the war in Gaza, recent events have demonstrated the implacability of settler colonialism and its racist underpinnings. Annie Isabel Fukushima and K. Melchor Quick Hall edit a visionary collection focused on radical struggles against these forces. The editors organize the essays in four thematic sections: subversive labor; spatialities and temporalities; resistance; and genealogies and feminist futures. Inspired by outside catalysts like sharing circles and poetry, the contributors challenge the boundaries of time and space that we imagine as constraints on labor and resistance. Their methodological approaches include participation observation, platicas, critical participatory action research, spatial analysis, interviews, testimonio, grounded theory, and historical analysis. Interdisciplinary and diverse, Decolonial Feminist Genealogies and Futures draws on a unique history of thought and action to map a new generation of practices. Contributors: Esther O.

The roots-and reach-of "Great Replacement" theory in France and beyond? The Eurabia Myth delves into the origins and evolution of far-right anxieties about the future of a Europe that welcomes postcolonial migration, racial and ethnic diversity, and tolerance of Islam. Nationalists deploy the specter of "Eurabia"-an Arabized and Islamized Europe-as a doomsday scenario of demographic replacement that only they can avert. Mehammed Amadeus Mack traces this dark vision to a sociopolitical conspiracy theory that began in France, spread throughout Europe, and has become especially virulent in the United States: Great Replacement Theory. Examining how the Eurabia narrative gained traction, Mack analyzes dystopian fiction that envisions how this Replacement will take place, the contemporary politicization of medieval history, and ecofascist rhetoric depicting immigrants as an "invasive" species. He also interviews prominent French activists of color about how they subvert being portrayed as Replacers and destroyers of European civilization, and he explores the American echoes of the Great Replacement Theory. Innovatively deploying gender and sexuality theory to the concept of Eurabia, Mack demonstrates that the demographic and racial anxieties underlying Great Replacement Theory are intertwined with a more fundamental crisis of masculinity, evident in the far right's accusations that feminists and the LGBT community are responsible for the decline in white birth rates. As it uncovers the deeper roots of this pervasive theory, The Eurabia Myth shows its insidious relevance to a rising tide of nativist fear, hatred, and violence.

The first biography of the remarkable historical figure who challenged perceptions of women's experiences in the early American RepublicIn 1831 Sister Gertrude Wightt, the directress of Georgetown Academy (now Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School), donned the hat and cape of one of her students and abruptly left the academy and life as a nun. She soon became a fixture on the Washington social scene and an intimate of Dolley Madison.The Two Worlds of Ann Gertrude Wightt is the first comprehensive biography of the enigmatic Wightt. Drawing from a rich cache of previously overlooked primary sources, the book meticulously explores Wightt's transformation from respected academy directress to celebrated "parlor politician" in the nation's capital. It delves deeply into her innovations in female education, her unprecedented departure from convent life, and her remarkable social reinvention. The author reveals a complex narrative of the opportunities and limitations that Catholic religious life posed for this gifted, ambitious, and socially prominent young woman.Scholars of American women's history and Catholicism, as well as general readers, will find an illuminating exploration of how one woman navigated and transcended the rigid boundaries of her time. This book also offers a profound window into the intersections of gender, class, and institutional power in nineteenth-century America, resurrecting this forgotten historical figure who challenges our understanding of women's experiences in the early American Republic.

McCrea, Ronan, The End of the Gay Rights Revolution: How Hubris and Overreach Threaten Gay Freedom. 208 pp. 2025:9 (Polity Pr., UK) <751-1114>

Over the past half century, the gay rights movement in the West has succeeded beyond its wildest dreams. It is widely assumed that its victories are now secure. Ronan McCrea's important new book argues that, in fact, the forces that drove the advance of gay rights - such as the wider cultural shift towards greater sexual freedom - are weakening while a host of political, cultural and demographic changes mean that sources of opposition, both old and new, are gaining strength. The gay rights movement appears ill-equipped to meet this challenge. Rather than protecting the unprecedented freedom that has been won, campaigners have fallen prey to the complacent assumption that they are on the winning side of history. This has led the movement into hubris: expanding its aims and making new enemies while refusing to entertain the notion that elements of the gay rights revolution, such an over-prioritisation of sexual freedom, may be both political liabilities and impediments to true flourishing for gay men. If the gay rights revolution is to endure, a fundamental reconsideration of its goals, its history and its limits is required. Anyone wanting to understand the future challenges faced by gay rights needs to read this timely warning.

Parkin, Katherine J., The Abortion Market: Buying and Selling Access in the Era Before Roe. 277 pp. 2025:9 (U. Pennsylvania Pr., US) <751-1116>

The abortion market was a powerful economic force in American life. Before legalization lowered the cost, one million women each year collectively paid upward of $750 million for abortions. In this illuminating book, Katherine Parkin reveals the strength of a massive consumer market that involved loans, advertising, and travel, as well as the costs associated with the procedure itself. Laying the foundation for the emergence of a public market that facilitated the buying and selling of abortions, wealthy population control ideologues encouraged positive public discourse on abortion, funded medical studies, and waged legal battles. White, middle- and upper-class women sought out abortions and paid exorbitantly for them. Male entrepreneurs emerged to capitalize on the booming market and profit from the incredible demand. Advertising on billboards and in college newspapers, men profited by providing the phone number, getting kickbacks for delivering patients, and arranging for women's travel to Mexico, Puerto Rico, England, and Japan. Students demanded abortion access and organized when it came at a steep cost, especially to the poorest among them. Abortion providers in Kansas, California, and Washington, D.C. attracted out-of-state consumers, with some women aided by their universities or by medical insurance. Between 1970 and 1973, entrepreneurs, providers, and hundreds of thousands of women seeking to buy abortions headed to New York City, heralded by some as the "abortion capital of the world." While we may have imagined that securing an abortion was best understood as a hidden, woman-only experience, The Abortion Market reveals the extent to which businesses and businessmen openly selling abortion access shaped the experience of buying abortions for millions of women.

Challenging the myths about LGBTQ+ kids and bullying: what it means to protect queer kids in schools Conversations around LGBTQ+ kids in school have become dominated by the subject of bullying. Although this may be due to good-faith efforts to protect vulnerable students, Queer Kids and Social Violence demonstrates that a focus on bullying as acts of individual peer aggression fails to address the social norms that perpetuate the violence. Considering the broader contexts of bullying, this volume offers ways to engage with queer youth that are both more humanizing and more likely to create sustainable change. Essays by leading international scholars analyze how bullying discourse shapes policy and practice, using in-depth case studies, research findings, and examinations of political policy to guide readers through the various forms of violence, identity regulation, and identity erasure in schools. Offering conversation-shifting interventions to respond to a difficult and frightening political moment for LGBTQ+ youth, Queer Kids and Social Violence is a rounded, empathetic picture that does queer youth justice and points the way toward safer schools for all.

Peeples, Rebekah, Unchanged Trebles: What Boy Choirs Teach Us About Motherhood and Masculinity. 270 pp. 2025:10 (Rutgers U. Pr., US) <751-1118>

Boy choirs are one of the oldest musical traditions in the Western world. Known as "unchanged trebles" in the choral world, these groups have historically included biologically male singers who sing soprano notes until they go through puberty. But what does this mean in a culture that increasingly sees gender as an individual choice, rather than a fixed, biological category? And is this tradition, which is rooted in exclusion of girls and women, one that is even worth saving? In Unchanged Trebles, sociologist Rebekah Peeples charts an unexpected, thought-provoking, and deeply personal journey into the peculiar world of contemporary boy choirs, where boys learn to do something together that they're often embarrassed to do alone: sing in their soprano voices. Considering her experience as the unlikely mother of a boy soprano alongside dozens of interviews with current directors and former choristers, she argues that some of the tools for creating a more gender-inclusive future can be found in an ancient tradition that has long recognized gender fluidity within the pre-pubescent male body. With humor, insight, and the voice of a gifted storyteller, Unchanged Trebles explores a cultural tradition in which singing and expressing emotion are encouraged for boys, showing them a more expansive form of masculinity as they transition from boyhood to manhood.

Reimagining sport beyond the gender binary, where movement and identity break free from tradition Skating Away from the Binary takes a critical look at the ways gender binarism remains deeply embedded in sport, with a focus on pairs figure skating. Erica Rand examines the persistence of these traditional gender structures and explores why trans-hostile sports policies are on the rise, even among those who may otherwise oppose anti-trans rhetoric. Drawing on her own experience as part of a gender-nonconforming pairs team, Rand reveals how figure skating's historical gender norms intersect with racialized expectations to reinforce widely exclusionary practices in sport. In 2018, Rand teamed up with Anna Kellar, a democracy advocate and skating journalist, to learn pairs skating. Charting this endeavor, Skating Away from the Binary highlights the challenges and joys Rand and Kellar encounter as they navigate a sport designed around rigid male/female roles. Through lively descriptions of their training and insightful comparisons to other physical activities like tennis, quadball, and ballet, Rand identifies the interconnected binarisms shaping athletic participation, from oversimplified distinctions between cis and trans to the artificial division between athletic and artistic. Ultimately, Skating Away from the Binary is more than a critique of gender norms in sport-it's a call to transform them. Challenging readers to consider new possibilities for movement, connection, and collaboration beyond conventional gendered expectations, Rand offers a vision of sport as a space where all people can experience joy and freedom in their bodies and identities.

Die so genannten ?Truemmerfrauen“ sind zu einem erinnerungspolitischen Fixpunkt der Darstellung der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit geworden: Mit Schaufel, Schuerze und Kopftuch befreiten sie die Strassen der Bundeshauptstadt Wien vom Schutt des Krieges - so zumindest die populaere Erzaehlung. Tatsaechlich waren es aber in erster Linie zwangsverpflichtete ehemalige Nationalsozialist:innen, die den absoluten Grossteil der manuellen Truemmerarbeit verrichtet haben. Wie aus dieser gesetzlich verordneten Suehnearbeit in weiterer Folge ein spezifisch oesterreichischer ?Truemmerfrauen“-Mythos entstehen konnte, steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches. Martin Tschiggerl verortet die Geburt der oesterreichischen ?Truemmerfrau“ in den spaeten 1980er Jahren als eine Re-Aktualisierung der ?Opferthese“ unter neuen Vorzeichen.

Hunderttausende Frauen haben in Polen gegen das restriktive Abtreibungsrecht protestiert und sind weiterhin politisch engagiert. Inzwischen gibt es ein landesweites Netzwerk von Frauengruppen, die sich fuer Umweltschutz, sexuelle Selbstbestimmung, Gleichberechtigung am Arbeitsplatz und gegen haeusliche Gewalt einsetzen. Auch in Politik und Wissenschaft erheben Frauen zunehmend ihre Stimme. Feminismus ist heute in Polen Realitaet, auch wenn rechte Parteien und der katholische Klerus erbitterten Widerstand leisten. Reinhold Vetter analysiert die Bedeutung der polnischen Frauenbewegung fuer die demokratische Entwicklung des Landes und wirft einen Blick auf die Rolle der Frauen in bestimmten Epochen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts.

A serene beach. The classroom of an elite private school. The still nights in an upscale residential neighborhood. An acclaimed poet with a quiet, dignified mode of address. The sonic etiquette and experience of quiet is integral to each of these scenes. The Quiet Zone examines what the emergence of quiet as an elite aesthetic, privilege, and entitlement means for minoritized people who are often narrated as loud, disruptive, and disturbing, sonically, visually, and otherwise. Taking the Caribbean and its diasporas as its key sites of study, the book explores what we can learn from efforts to transform the region into the quintessential site of quiet leisure, in part, through the enactment of regimes of sonic discipline and surveillance directed against its majority Black population. Analyzing the work of Afro-Caribbean artists that catalog and critique sonic surveillance, the book questions the ways that quiet gets produced both as a regulatory ideal of racial, gender, sexual, national, and civilizational belonging and as a universal object of desire

Breaking down recent films about the dark side of motherhood Twenty-first century contemporary films like Emily Atef's Das Fremde in mir and Savannah Leaf's Earth Mama portray motherhood as a source of regret, exhaustion, rage, shame, guilt, and disgust. Olivia Landry analyzes this new feminist cinema and the ways it embraces and explores the crushing burden of mothering children. Landry surveys films released in North America, Europe, and Australia over a period beginning in 2007. As she shows, revelation and the expression of negative feelings upend the traditional image of the perfect, self-sacrificial, and happy mother. Landry tracks how radical positions like maternal regret and family abolition have replaced age-old tropes while also going beyond portrayals of maternal ambivalence. Her feminist method casts off psychoanalysis and renounces pathological approaches to motherhood to show how a generation of filmmakers have insisted on the subjective position and experience of the mother rather than that of the child. Bold and groundbreaking, Cinema of Crushing Motherhood looks at taboo-breaking films and illuminates the emotions and affects that make them so powerful.

A first-of-its-kind collection to transform our understanding of digital media from Indigenous women creators Indigenous women form a vital force in digital media production now and have over the past several decades-in fact, nearly three quarters of the projects at the 2017 imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival were created by women. By Their Work highlights the prismatic nature of Indigenous women's digital media, connecting the digital arts with their creative labor and adaptive activism. Joanna Hearne and Karrmen Crey bring together a collection of essays and interviews to highlight the voices of powerful and important media makers, from Indigenous video game creators to animators to social media influencers and from theorists of early Indigenous digital media to current practitioners, including trans and nonbinary creators often left out of public narratives about the digital. Creating a space to hear critical voices on Indigenous media history, theory, and production, the contributors share stories, genealogies, and practices behind Indigenous women's power and presence in the digital world. Focusing on the history of digital media as a whole, this collection presents a compelling case for Indigenous women's crucial roles across the history of digital forms and platforms. In doing so, By Their Work transforms digital Indigenous studies in the twenty-first century.

Although it may seem like the proliferation of strong women on television is a feminist achievement, a deeper look into their stories tells us otherwise. The Impossible Woman examines a variety of scripted US television series across multiple genres to show how the cultural value of television's extraordinarily talented female characters often rests upon their ability to endure-but not overcome-sexism. Looking at Parks and Recreation, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Queen's Gambit, Game of Thrones, and Queen of the South, Hoerl argues that these series contribute to sexist realism, or the cultural assumption that there is no alternative to patriarchy. Situating impossible women's struggles in the context of contemporary feminist politics, Hoerl explains how the problems facing television's strongest women illustrate mainstream feminism's paradoxical dependence upon on cultural misogyny, neoliberal individualism, and racism. The Impossible Woman encourages readers to seek out alternative stories that might help them envision more just feminist futures.

Listening to Black women share their life experiences as educators Despite significant challenges and historical opposition, Black female teachers stood at the forefront of advocating for and providing education to Black students. Their dedication not only improved opportunities for Black communities but also influenced changes in U.S. laws and societal expectations. Marlee S. Bunch draws on oral histories to illuminate the interior lives of Black female educators who taught before and after desegregation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In their own voices, these women detail the hurdles they faced guiding students through Jim Crow laws and Civil Rights-era desegregation. Bunch unearths the personal stories of teaching and activism during a historic time that included the Brown v. Board of Education decision and whites' massive resistance to desegregation. The educators highlight the significance of the Black community and the role of Black homes in fostering student success and community cohesion. In addition, Bunch looks at the legacies of Black educators and the work still to be done. Visual artwork and poetry complement the text. Inspiring and immersive, Unlearning the Hush blends personal memory with Civil Rights history to document the pivotal role Black women played in education during a transformative and charged period in American history.
