"The beginning of the 21st century brought forth a number of social media platforms that have allowed activists to increase their audience exponentially and with relative ease. Under hashtags such as #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo to the Arab Spring and the Occupy movements, digital social activision mobilized people and movements like almost never before. In #HashtagActivism: Networked Counterpublics in the Digital Age the authors examine how and why Twitter hashtags have become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations to advance counter narratives and advocate for social change. We contend that members of these marginalized groups, in the tradition of counterpublics, are using Twitter hashtags to build diverse networks of dissent and shape the cultural and political knowledge fundamental to contemporary identity-based social movements. Given shifting understandings and ongoing conversations about the role of social media in 21st century democracy, and considering recent high-profile public debates about racial violence, feminist inclusivity, and sexual identity, #Hashtag Activism will provide readers with a model of how to study political identity and meaning-making processes within digital spaces while highlighting compelling cases of counterpublic activism and dissent"--

In Bodyminds Reimagined Sami Schalk traces how black women's speculative fiction complicates the understanding of bodyminds—the intertwinement of the mental and the physical—in the context of race, gender, and (dis)ability. Bridging black feminist theory with disability studies, Schalk demonstrates that this genre's political potential lies in the authors' creation of bodyminds that transcend reality's limitations. She reads (dis)ability in neo-slave narratives by Octavia Butler (Kindred) and Phyllis Alesia Perry (Stigmata) not only as representing the literal injuries suffered under slavery, but also as a metaphor for the legacy of racial violence. The fantasy worlds in works by N. K. Jemisin, Shawntelle Madison, and Nalo Hopkinson—where werewolves have obsessive-compulsive-disorder and blind demons can see magic—destabilize social categories and definitions of the human, calling into question the very nature of identity. In these texts, as well as in Butler’s Parable series, able-mindedness and able-bodiedness are socially constructed and upheld through racial and gendered norms. Outlining (dis)ability's centrality to speculative fiction, Schalk shows how these works open new social possibilities while changing conceptualizations of identity and oppression through nonrealist contexts.

This wide-ranging study provides the first historically grounded account of women's fiction in the 1960s and the 1970s, relating changes in the social structure of Britain and the United States to the literary representations of women's experience. Maroula Joannou brings alive a vibrant time of innovation, hope and change in the history of literature and the history of women. Scholarly, incisive, and immensely readable, the book analyses the literary impact of the women's movement in Britain and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, on books as diverse as Angela Carter's modern fairy tales and Ursula Le Guin's science fiction. Topics include femininity, sexuality, working-class women's writing, motherhood, continuities and change in the literary tradition, the feminist confessional novel, experiments in science and detective fiction, narratives engaging with the end of the British Empire and black women's writing in the United States. This is an important and thought-provoking contribution to literary history providing original readings of A. S. Byatt, Pat Barker, Anita Brookner, Margaret Drabble, Doris Lessing, Erica Jong, Toni Morrison, Sylvia Plath, Marge Piercy, Jean Rhys, Joanna Russ, Alice Walker, Fay Weldon and others. It will be of interest to students and teachers of modern literature, women's studies and cultural history.

"Toutes les femmes sont blanches, tous les Noirs sont hommes, mais nous sommes quelques-unes à être courageuses". Sous ce titre magnifique paraissait en 1982 aux Etats-Unis une anthologie de textes fondateurs des études féministes noires : un titre qui dénonçait la double exclusion des femmes noires d'un féminisme blanc et bourgeois et d'un nationalisme noir sexiste. Ces féministes noires ont créé un mouvement politique d'une importance unique en ce que, d'emblée, il s'est constitué sur la dénonciation d'une oppression simultanée de race, de classe, de sexe et du modèle de sexualité qui va avec. Les textes présentés dans ce recueil du Black feminism - le premier en France - explorent sur une période de trente ans les thèmes de l'identité, de l'expérience singulière, de la sororité, de la sexualité, comme la place dans les institutions, les coalitions nécessaires et les alliances possibles, les Normes culturelles de rébellion et de lutte, le passage de témoin entre générations. Pourquoi, en France, ex-puissance coloniale, l'équivalent d'un féminisme noir n'a-t-il pas existé ? Ces textes, par leur vitalité et leur perspicacité politiques, invitent à poser cette question et à s'interroger autrement sur les faux-semblants de l'universalisme républicain comme sur les points aveugles du féminisme français.

This provocative, lively book discusses two of the most significant influences on writing and thinking in the twentieth century: women novelists and feminist theory. It demonstrates, in an accessible but imaginative manner, ways of reading women's novels alongside work by feminist theorists. Each chapter situates a small number of theoretical texts in their intellectual context and then links them with a widely taught novel to produce fresh interpretations. The novels and theorists represent examples of extremely significant, but also pedagogically useful feminist writing this century.

"How did reproductive justice (defined as the right to have children, to not have children, and to parent) become recognized as a human rights issue? In [this book] Zakiya Luna highlights the often-forgotten activism of women of color who are largely responsible for creating what we now know as the modern-day reproductive justice movement. Focusing on SisterSong, an intersectional reproductive justice organization, Luna shows how, and why, women of color mobilized around reproductive rights in the domestic arena. She examines their key role in re-framing reproductive rights as human rights, raising this set of issues as a priority in the United States, a country hostile to the concept of human rights at home"--
