"Drawing upon Michel Foucault's accounts of governmentality and neoliberalism, liberal feminist and colonial "civilizing" narratives, and tacit juridical racial dismissal toward visibly Muslim women, this book explores the neocolonial and racial-cultural aesthetics of power as directed toward women of color and Black women. Even as neocolonialism incorporates without acknowledgment the anti-Blackness and settler-colonial roots of its past, along with an anti-immigrationist sentiment--it does not do so overtly. Rather it does so through a range of biopolitical, ontopolitical, and globalizing neoliberal economic norms. Focusing on the discrimination claims of Muslim women, this study examines juridical and political approaches that dismiss Muslim women and other populations of color as culturally backward, misguided in their thinking, and gratuitously nonconformist. Likewise, it analyses the experience of excruciation undergone by the addressees of racial dismissal. Excruciation names the phenomena by which vulnerable populations are pressed into hopeless performances of cultural assimiliation. Racial dismissal is excavated through legal opinions, court transcripts, and other encounters between Muslim women and the state. This work finds that the racial address of dismissal and the phenomena of excruciation have been pivotal to a liberal juridical order that otherwise claims neutrality. By concentrating on the treatment of Muslim women, this book uncovers dynamics of social and racial division which have inhabited and bolstered liberal legal neutrality from its inception. This book's framework, while focusing on Muslim women in the U.S., is a template for understanding how exclusion is juridically implemented for other racialized and marginalized populations"--

"Patrolling the neighborhoods of central Fort Worth, sorting through trash piles, exploring dumpsters, scanning the streets and the gutters for items lost or discarded, I gathered the city's degraded bounty, then returned home to sort and catalogue the take.". -From the Introduction. In December of 2001 Jeff Ferrell quit his job as tenured professor, moved back to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, and, with a place to live but no real income, began an eight-month odyssey of essentially living off of the street. Empire of Scrounge tells the story of this unusual journey into the often illicit

The expectation for fathers to be more involved with parenting their children and pitching in at home are higher than ever, yet broad social, political, and economic changes have made it more difficult for low-income men to be fathers. In this book, Timothy Black and Sky Keyes ground a moving and intimate narrative in the political and economic circumstances that shape the lives of low-income fathers. Based on 138 life history interviews, they expose the contradiction that while the norms and expectations of father involvement have changed rapidly within a generation, labour force and state support for fathering on the margins has deteriorated.

Drive through just about any low-income neighborhood and you're sure to see streets lined with pawnshops, check cashers, rent-to-own stores, payday and tax refund lenders, auto title pawns, and buy-here-pay-here used car lots. We're awash in ""alternative financial services"" directed at the poor and those with credit problems. Howard Karger describes this world as an economic Wild West, where just about any financial scheme that's not patently illegal is tolerated.Taking a hard look at this fringe economy, Karger shows that what seem to be small, independent storefront operations are actually

Dans «De la marge au centre. Théorie féministe», son deuxième essai paru en 1984, Bell Hooks poursuit la réflexion entamée dans «Ne suis-je pas une femme?» Elle s'intéresse cette fois-ci aux succès et aux manquements des mouvements féministes des années 1900 à 1980, qui selon elle ont échoué à créer un féminisme de masse qui s'adresse à toutes les femmes. Bell Hooks nous offre un livre coup de poing dans lequel elle pousse les réflexions dans leurs retranchements, tout en préservant un style d'écriture accessible. Elle bouleverse les représentations habituelles de la pensée féministe majoritaire en mettant sur le devant de la scène les femmes noires et/ou les femmes des milieux populaires, en insistant sur le besoin profond d'une approche révolutionnaire du féminisme [4e de couverture ]

Democratic Theorizing from the Margins lays out the basic parameters of diversity-based politics as a still emerging form of democratic theory. Students, activists, and scholars engage in diversity politics on the ground, but generally remain unable to conceptualize a broad understanding of how "politics from the margins"--That is, political thinking and action that comes from groups often left on the outside of mainstream organizing and action-operates effectively in different contexts and environments. Brettschneider offers concrete lessons from many movements to see what they tell.

This volume examines the role of poverty and inequality among the social dynamics that are shaping changing patterns of crime. It presents an integrated perspective on crime and state response in light of developments such as the hardening of poverty in American cities and the country's changing economic structure in a globalizing world. The volume includes works of Robert Sampson, William Julius Wilson, Michael Tonry, Jonathan Simon, Malcolm Feeley, Lorraine Gelsthorpe, Anthony Bottoms, John Hagedorn, Elijhah Anderson, Rosemary Gartner, Lawrence Friedman, Jurgen Habermas, Robert Putnam, Robin Kelley, Tom Tyler, Paul Wiles, Frank Zimring and Elliott Currie. This book has big US potential with a probable 75% of sales to US. Why has crime been dropping but imprisonment continuing to grow? This thoughtful and well-edited collection of readings focuses on explaining changing patterns of crime and criminal careers as well as state response through criminal justice policy. Countering the neo-conservative argument that crime is committed in a quest for thrills or because it pays, this volume builds on studies by Sampson and Wilson, Elijah Anderson and others, to continue the work of "bringing inequality and poverty back in" to policy debates about the causes of crime and what form state response should take. Examining changing patterns of crime and gang activity against a backdrop of deindustrialization and the hardening of urban poverty during the 1980s and then the economic upturn of more recent years, this volume probes changing patterns of violence -- especially among juveniles -- in center cities, gang activity and hate crimes during the late 1980s and 1990s. Vivid enthnography, biography, a play and musical lyrics are used along with qualitative and quantitative empirical studies to illustrate key points. Hard numbers are accompanied by the faces and voices of the individuals and families whose lives hang in the balance. Violent crime has now been dropping in most
