Kira Cochrane is lid van de redactie van de Britse krant The Guardian. Zij besloot tot het samenstellen van een boek met bijdragen/artikels die in de afgelopen veertig jaar (1971-2011) werden gepubliceerd.Allemaal handelen ze over feminisme, maar telkens vanuit een andere invalshoek. Het zijn artikels van feministen én over feministen, over vrouwen die op de barricaden zijn gaan staan voor gelijke rechten en over vrouwen die belangrijke wetenschappelijke, politieke en sociale inspanningen leverden en zodoende het feminisme hielpen legitimeren. Verder vindt men er ook bijdragen in terug over de verschrikingen en verkrachtingen tijdens de Balkanoorlog, over de positie van zwarte vrouwen in de VS, over seksueel geweld in India en Egypte. Belangrijke betogingen en militante acties komen aan bod, getuigenissen omtrent victim blaiming en nog veel meer.

What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.--
