This book brings new perspectives and insights about women’s lived experience to the body of existing literature on citizenship. It stimulates debate on issues of citizenship and includes perspectives on poverty, HIV/AIDS, political representation and violence against women. While books with a feminist perspective on different aspects of politics such as rights, voting behaviour, representation, and policy-making have appeared, very few deal explicitly with theory. This book aims to make a contribution to theory building at the same time as incorporating empirical evidence. The text is w

The book ``multiculturalizes’’ media studies by looking at Hollywood movie genres such as the western, the musical and the imperial film from multicultural perspectives, examining issues from the racial politics of casting to colonialist discourse and gender and Empire.More than just a critique of Eurocentricism and racism, Unthinking Eurocentrism also confirms artistic, cultural and political alternatives, discussing a wide range of non-Eurocentric

In this, new edition of a classic work—now with a new preface—on the roots of social scientific thinking, Immanuel Wallerstein develops a thorough-going critique of the legacy of nineteenth-century social science for social thought in the new millennium. We have to "unthink"—radically revise and discard—many of the presumptions that still remain the foundation of dominant perspectives today. Once considered liberating, these notions are now barriers to a clear understanding of our social world. They include, for example, ideas built into the concept of "development." In place of such a

Since the Greeks lacked a national state or a unified society, economy or culture, the polis has helped to create a homogenising national narrative. This book re-examines old polarities such as those between the Greek poleis and Eastern monarchies, or between the ancient consumer and the modern producer city, in order to show the fallacies of standard approaches. It argues for the relevance of AristotleR
