Download or read book Space Place and Sex written by Lynda Johnston and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible and engaging book explores the ways that "space, place, and sex" are inextricably linked from the micro to the macro level, from the individual body to the globe. Drawing on queer, feminist, gender, social, and cultural studies, Lynda Johnston and Robyn Longhurst highlight the complex nature of sex and sexuality and how they are connected to both virtual and physical spaces and places. Their aim is to enrich our understanding of sexual identities and practices--whether they be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, asexual, queer, or heterosexual. They show that bodies are defined and connected through media such as television, movies, ads, and the Internet, as well as through "real" places such as homes, churches, sports arenas, city streets, beaches, and wilderness. Drawing on a diverse array of historical and contemporary examples, the authors argue convincingly that sexual politics permeate all places and spaces at every level of geographical scale. Thus, they illustrate, sexuality affects the way people live in and interact with space and place, as space and place in turn affect people's sexuality.

Book excerpt: “The queen of beach books” (The Star-Ledger) returns to the shores of Nantucket in a novel about one memorable summer when flirtations flourish, family dramas play out, and scandalous secrets surface. NAMED ONE OF TEN BEST SUMMER BOOKS TO READ ON THE BEACH BY SMARTERTRAVEL Memorial Day weekend means that seasonal visitors have descended on the glamorous island of Nantucket. For year-round resident Darcy Cotterill, it means late-night stargazing in the backyard of the beautiful house she grew up in and inherited from her beloved grandmother. It’s also Darcy’s chance to hit the beach and meet her new summertime neighbors. But the last person the thirty-year-old librarian expects to see staying next door is her ex-husband, Boyz, along with his wife, Autumn, and stepdaughter, Willow. Darcy must also navigate the highs and lows of a new romantic relationship with local carpenter Nash Forester even as she becomes smitten with handsome vacationer Clive Rush, a musicologist in town to write a book and visit family. And she finds herself pulled into the concerns of Boyz, Autumn, a charming elderly neighbor, and an at-risk teen. As the season nears its end, Darcy must decide her next move: retreating to the comforts of her steady and secure island life, or risking it all for a chance at true happiness. Praise for Secrets in Summer “Full of rich details about life on Nantucket, this breezy tale is at once nostalgic and hopeful. . . . The story is filled with sweet moments of unlikely female connections. An easily digestible, warmhearted tale of eye-opening friendships.”—Kirkus Reviews “[Nancy] Thayer’s latest is a lovely and heartwarming contemporary read with its blend of humor and emotion set against the beautiful backdrop of Nantucket Island. Her well-crafted plot is infused with warmth and heartfelt, tender moments. Darcy is a strong, independent yet vulnerable heroine who will appeal to readers. Thayer’s engaging storytelling and authentic, endearing characters will keep readers turning the pages.”—RT Book Reviews “Thayer’s beachside novel brims with themes that women’s-fiction readers love, and the plot skims important issues—infidelity, fear of commitment, grief—while maintaining its focus on Darcy’s personal growth and the intergenerational friendship between the four women.”—Booklist (starred review)
Download or read book Not Quite White written by Matt Wray and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White trash. The phrase conjures up images of dirty rural folk who are poor, ignorant, violent, and incestuous. But where did this stigmatizing phrase come from? And why do these stereotypes persist? Matt Wray answers these and other questions by delving into the long history behind this term of abuse and others like it. Ranging from the early 1700s to the early 1900s, Not Quite White documents the origins and transformations of the multiple meanings projected onto poor rural whites in the United States. Wray draws on a wide variety of primary sources—literary texts, folklore, diaries and journals, medical and scientific articles, social scientific analyses—to construct a dense archive of changing collective representations of poor whites. Of crucial importance are the ideas about poor whites that circulated through early-twentieth-century public health campaigns, such as hookworm eradication and eugenic reforms. In these crusades, impoverished whites, particularly but not exclusively in the American South, were targeted for interventions by sanitarians who viewed them as “filthy, lazy crackers” in need of racial uplift and by eugenicists who viewed them as a “feebleminded menace” to the white race, threats that needed to be confined and involuntarily sterilized. Part historical inquiry and part sociological investigation, Not Quite White demonstrates the power of social categories and boundaries to shape social relationships and institutions, to invent groups where none exist, and to influence policies and legislation that end up harming the very people they aim to help. It illuminates not only the cultural significance and consequences of poor white stereotypes but also how dominant whites exploited and expanded these stereotypes to bolster and defend their own fragile claims to whiteness.

Download or read book The Other Side of Nashville written by Rev. Keith A. Gordon and published by Anthem Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since WSM-AM radio announcer David Cobb first called it the "Music City" back in 1950, Nashville has been known as the center of the country music universe. While some may also be familiar with Nashville for its gospel and CCR industry, few recognize the Music City as a hotbed of rock 'n' roll, rap, and blues music. Since the mid-1970s, when indie rock pioneer R. Stevie Moore released his self-produced Phonography album, a diverse and creative rock music scene has developed in the Music City. From Jason & the Scorchers, the White Animals, and Afrikan Dreamland to Jeff the Brotherhood and the Kings of Leon, there can be no doubt that Nashville rocks! The Other Side of Nashville is an incomplete history and discography of the Nashville rock underground circa 1976-2006. Documenting the growth and evolution of the Music City's non-country music scene, The Other Side of Nashville includes entries over 500 artists, and features over 100 interviews and album reviews, as well as comments and insight from the "Reverend of Rock 'n' Roll," Rev. Keith A. Gordon. An award-winning music journalist with decades of experience, Rev. Keith A. Gordon was there for the "big bang" moment of Nashville's fledgling rock scene, and spent 30 years documenting and championing Music City rockers in both local rags like The Metro, the Nashville Scene, and the Nashville Intelligence Report, as well as national publications like Creem, Rolling Stone, and High Times. Gordon is the author or co-author of seven books on music, is a former contributor to the All Music Guide website and book series, and is currently the Blues Guide for About.com.
