"This is a fascinating edited volume that uniquely draws on the expertise of Mexican academics and grassroots activists to explore the positive and negative effects of institutional reforms to promote gender equality in Mexico." - Leslie Schwindt-Bayer, Professor, Rice University, Houston, US "Political Representation and Gender Equality in Mexico does what no other collection has done. By bringing not only academic voices to a discussion of women's political representation in Mexico, but also the invaluable insight of practitioners and grassroots activists, this volume provides a holistic understanding of Mexico's journey to gender equality." - Magda Hinojosa, Professor, Arizona State University, Tempe, US "This timely and important collection brings together Mexico's leading scholars and activists working on gender and politics. Vidal-Correa's excellent and well-edited volume is required reading for everyone interested in Latin American politics." - Jennifer M. Piscopo, Associate Professor, Occidental College, Los Angeles, US The field of gender and politics has continuously grown, becoming more interdisciplinary and engaging with issues, context and people from all around the world. Because of this, new emerging approaches and studies challenge embedded notions, ideas and preconceptions of how the world is meant to be studied and understood. This is particularly true for studies on women and their engagement in political affairs. How should institutions conceptualize women in order to advance rules and mechanisms that favor women? What roles do representatives have on the making of gender equality? When women are legislating, which are the consequences of the approved legislation? Fernanda Vidal-Correa is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Universidad Panamericana, Campus Mexico. She is currently Dean for Research in the School of Communication.

'Indigenous?, of in het Nederlands inheems of indigeen, duidt op de oorspronkelijke bewoners (en hun huidige nakomelingen) van een land of gebied. Vaak leven indigene bewoners in overeenstemming met natuurlijke cycli, met eigen culturele gebruiken en tradities, die ook hun levensonderhoud en omringende ecologie waarborgen. De specifieke gebruiken, ecologische omstandigheden, kunst en cultuur van indigenous gemeenschappen krijgen wereldwijd steeds meer aandacht, zeker ook met het oog op verantwoord omgaan met de aarde en haar natuurlijke bronnen. Uitgangspunt van dit boek is de rebellie van de Sámi, de inheemse bewoners van het gebied Sápmi, tegen het bouwen van een dam in de Álttáeatnu-rivier aan de Noorse kant van Sápmi. Voorop in deze Áltá-actie (ca. 1978-82), getiteld ?Let the River Live?, liepen inheemse Sámi-kunstenaars, die een brede solidariteitsbeweging wisten te mobiliseren, niet alleen in (Noord-) Scandinavië, maar met reacties van ?indigenous? kunstenaars van over de hele wereld. Deze actie katapulteerde de roep naar inheemse soevereiniteit naar de voorhoede van de politiek van die tijd en groeide uit tot een onverwacht brede internationale solidariteitsbeweging, waarin inheemse kunstenaars een centrale rol speelden. Veel belangrijke vragen die door de Áltá-actie zijn opgeworpen blijven vandaag onopgelost. Denk aan de oliepijpleidingen die Trump door het gebied van indianen wilde leggen; aan het verstoren van Australische aboriginal leefgebieden door westerse immigranten, en zo meer. Let the River Flow bevat essentiële bijdragen voor elke discussie over hoe regeringen, kunstenaars en burgers omgaan met vraagstukken in het kader van huidige wereldwijde oproepen tot dekolonisatie en indigenisatie. Nieuwe essays van 24 vooraanstaande inheemse kunstenaars, schrijvers, wetenschappers en bondgenoten, samengevoegd met belangrijke bestaande sleutelteksten, richten zich op de urgente politieke en artistieke vragen die de Áltá Action opriep, en hoe dit ?indigenous? kunstactivisme in het verleden en nu internationaal weerklank vond en vindt. Let the River Flow richt zich tot lezers met interesse in dekoloniale, inheemse, solidariteits- en milieukwesties binnen de artistieke praktijken en daarbuiten.

This book explores the politics of organized Muslim women in Turkey and analyzes their coalitions with other-secular feminist, Kurdish, etc.-women's movements from an intersectional perspective. It provides empirical evidence for significant changes in Muslim women's politics under the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and points to the increasing difficulty to build cross-movement women's coalitions in the face of rising religious conservatism and authoritarianism under the AKP rule. While feminist Muslim women who display an intersectional understanding of structural inequality and oppression are found to be more resilient in the face of political pressure, conservative Muslim women dodge women's coalitions and align with the government's discourses and policies. Empirical evidence based on interviews with organized Muslim women also shows that prospects for coalition building largely depends on the specific societal and institutional (re-)configurations of patriarchy along with other relations of domination rather than mere ideological "difference" among women. This book will be of interest to scholars and students across Gender Studies, Sociology, and Political Science, particularly those whose research focuses on intersectionality and social movements. Ayşe Dursun is a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Political Science at the University of Vienna, Austria. She does research on gender and politics, intersectionality, gender equality policies, social reproduction and care, social and women's movements, and migration. She has published in a number of peer-reviewed journals including German Politics and Society, Historical Social Research, and Journal of Gender Studies. Ayşe Dursun is currently a steering committee member of the European Consortium for Political Research's (ECPR) standing group on Gender and Politics.

This book aims to expand what scholars know and who is included in this discussion about black studies, which aids in the democratization of American higher education and the deconstruction of traditional disciplines of high education, to facilitate a sense of social justice. By challenging traditional disciplines, black studies reveals not only the political role of American universities but also the political aspects of the disciplines that constitute their core. While black studies is post-modern in its deconstruction of positivism and universalism, it does not support a radical rejection of all attempts to determine truth. Evolving from a form of black cultural nationalism, it challenges the perceived white cultural nationalist norm and has become a critical multiculturalism that is more global and less gendered. Henry argues for the inclusion of black studies beyond the curriculum of colleges and universities.
