Download or read book Names Fashioned by Gender written by Thenjiwe Meyiwa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Names are very powerful and significant, especially in the African context. Across societies, there is a universal, albeit taken-for-granted fact that all human beings have names. Names Fashioned by Gender is a collection of essays on onomastics—a linguistics field of study focusing on the origin, form, history and use of proper names. The study of naming potentially provides significant evidence about the role of gender in the assimilation and/or enculturation processes as personal names evoke insight into the construction of gender and personhood in African societies. The book takes intellectual course from the idea that how names are viewed and used is heavily context-dependent and gendered. It demonstrates that personal names are narratives derived from different contexts within various cultures and circumstances subsequently imposing different identities on name bearers. Through persuasive essays, this book elucidates that naming is an activity that needs to be conducted cautiously because names tend to determine the destiny and character of an individual.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document analyzes a broad sample of the projects funded by the Family Violence Prevention Division, exploring how these projects have contributed to knowledge about and progress toward prevention. The three main goals of the report are: to elaborate on what the projects analyzed teach us about prevention; to describe in a qualitative way how projects funded by the Family Violence Prevention Division have added to preventive efforts around woman abuse in terms of their contribution to what works, and their contribution to reducing barriers to prevention; and, to elaborate on the findings from these projects in order to suggest directions for future activities by the Family Violence Prevention Division related to the prevention of woman abuse, as well as needed directions that fall outside the responsibilities of the division. In addition, the report examines the projects analyzed in the context of the broader Health Canada mandate related to family violence and the Federal Family Violence Initiative.
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.
