Download or read book Unruly Immigrants written by Monisha Das Gupta and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Unruly Immigrants, Monisha Das Gupta explores the innovative strategies that South Asian feminist, queer, and labor organizations in the United States have developed to assert claims to rights for immigrants without the privileges or security of citizenship. Since the 1980s many South Asian immigrants have found the India-centered “model minority” politics of previous generations inadequate to the task of redressing problems such as violence against women, homophobia, racism, and poverty. Thus they have devised new models of immigrant advocacy, seeking rights that are mobile rather than rooted in national membership, and advancing their claims as migrants rather than as citizens-to-be. Creating social justice organizations, they have inventively constructed a transnational complex of rights by drawing on local, national, and international laws to seek entitlements for their constituencies. Das Gupta offers an ethnography of seven South Asian organizations in the northeastern United States, looking at their development and politics as well as the conflicts that have emerged within the groups over questions of sexual, class, and political identities. She examines the ways that women’s organizations have defined and responded to questions of domestic violence as they relate to women’s immigration status; she describes the construction of a transnational South Asian queer identity and culture by people often marginalized by both mainstream South Asian and queer communities in the United States; and she draws attention to the efforts of labor groups who have sought economic justice for taxi drivers and domestic workers by confronting local policies that exploit cheap immigrant labor. Responding to the shortcomings of the state, their communities, and the larger social movements of which they are a part, these groups challenge the assumption that citizenship is the necessary basis of rights claims.

Download or read book Unmarriages written by Ruth Mazo Karras and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages are often viewed as a repository of tradition, yet what we think of as traditional marriage was far from the only available alternative to the single state in medieval Europe. Many people lived together in long-term, quasimarital heterosexual relationships, unable to marry if one was in holy orders or if the partners were of different religions. Social norms militated against the marriage of master to slave or between individuals of very different classes, or when the couple was so poor that they could not establish an independent household. Such unions, where the protections that medieval law furnished to wives (and their children) were absent, were fraught with danger for women in particular, but they also provided a degree of flexibility and demonstrate the adaptability of social customs in the face of slowly changing religious doctrine. Unmarriages draws on a wide range of sources from across Europe and the entire medieval millennium in order to investigate structures and relations that medieval authors and record keepers did not address directly, either in order to minimize them or because they were so common as not to be worth mentioning. Ruth Mazo Karras pays particular attention to the ways women and men experienced forms of opposite-sex union differently and to the implications for power relations between the genders. She treats legal and theological discussions that applied to all of Europe and presents a vivid series of case studies of how unions operated in specific circumstances to illustrate concretely what we can conclude, how far we can speculate, and what we can never know.

Download or read book The Lesbian Polyamory Reader written by Marcia Munson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In reading The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex, you'll quickly discover that the steps toward love and happiness are as easy as 1, 2, 3, and maybe even 4 or 5. And you'll find that if your own lesbian relationship lies outside the “traditional monogamous couple” model, you're definitely not alone. You'll explore many multifaceted and multifarious love relationships, each one applicable to your own liking, if you so choose. You'll find successful models of relationship styles--regardless of your own orientation--from cover to cover, and you'll discover the pleasing polyphony in the many, many female voices of authorities on love and love relationships. Whereas other similar studies project the limited view of one or two authors, The Lesbian Polyamory Reader calls upon a broad scope of writers, professional women and academics alike. You'll see that outside the gay rights movement that currently pushes for a traditional, monogamous marriage model of gay couplehood, there lies pleasing multiplicity in the arms and hearts of lesbians worldwide. Specifically, this collection offers: “first person” articles--stories that describe a variety of lesbian experiences relating to multiple lovers in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s “how-to” articles--descriptions of the various polyamorous relationship configurations, including ways of dealing with jealousy “theoretical” pieces--the history of multiple relationships, the social implications of practicing a love style other than monogamous coupling, and safer sex considerations Much, much more than a book on personal satisfaction, The Lesbian Polyamory Reader also focuses on the social implications of this love phenomenon, bringing it into a more inclusive circle of discussion for lesbians, educators, and students of sociology and sexology. You'll find satisfaction in seeing the love so many lesbian women have achieved by not mimicking the “marriage model” of living.

We must therefore be thankful that mankind is endowed with these qualities.

In his dream, the land was situated somewhere in the Mediterranean, its riches beyond one’s imagination. The inhabitants were people from all parts of the world, who brought with them their diverse cultures. The rulers were tyrants who fled their countries with hordes of wealth. They were utterly evil men and women. The destiny and fate of their land called Hadesia is recounted in this terrifying novel about man’s inhumanity to man.

Book excerpt: Knees, spankings and leather cuffs are about to get a workout. “Oops.” Being a control freak in a male-dominated profession is hard enough without the complications of a workplace crush, yet Jessica Rush finds herself struggling with all three. How can she continue to work for a man who commands the leading role in all her submissive fantasies? Thankfully, the solution to her sudden lack of control comes in the form of a party invitation to Pleasure Palace. Perfect. A kinky good time—on her own terms—is all Jessica needs to boot her sexy boss right out of her dreams. However, she never anticipated being chained up in some Dom’s dungeon. “Oops,” indeed. “You’re mine, kitten.” Finally, Jessica is exactly where he wants her. Ryan Cress has hidden his kinky lifestyle and his attraction to his subordinate for years, but when Jessica Rush shows up at Pleasure Palace, Ryan—aka, Master R—vows to claim her as his own and introduce her to carnal pleasures untold. As far as he’s concerned, before the evening ends, she will be on her knees for him. That’s the plan, anyway. But what will happen when the mask is removed? Can they move from Boss and employee to Dominant and submissive so easily? Jessica is not so sure. Offering her submission to Ryan means giving up the only thing that has kept her anchored in life: her control. But Ryan is about to teach Jessica three new words that will shatter everything she thinks she knows about control and show her a world of sensual delights found only at his loving command... “On. Your. Knees.”
