Book The Routledge Global History of Feminism

Download or read book The Routledge Global History of Feminism written by Bonnie G. Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the scholarship of a global team of diverse authors, this wide-ranging handbook surveys the history and current status of pro-women thought and activism over millennia. The book traces the complex history of feminism across the globe, presenting its many identities, its heated debates, its racism, discussion of religious belief and values, commitment to social change, and the struggles of women around the world for gender justice. Authors approach past understandings and today’s evolving sense of what feminism or womanism or gender justice are from multiple viewpoints. These perspectives are geographical to highlight commonalities and differences from region to region or nation to nation; they are also chronological suggesting change or continuity from the ancient world to our digital age. Across five parts, authors delve into topics such as colonialism, empire, the arts, labor activism, family, and displacement as the means to take the pulse of feminism from specific vantage points highlighting that there is no single feminist story but rather multiple portraits of a broad cast of activists and thinkers. Comprehensive and properly global, this is the ideal volume for students and scholars of women’s and gender history, women’s studies, social history, political movements and feminism.

Book How Then Shall We Guide

  • Author : Jimmy Boon-Chai Tan
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2023-05-25
  • ISBN : 1666735256
  • Pages : 271 pages

Download or read book How Then Shall We Guide written by Jimmy Boon-Chai Tan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a marked increase of interest in the art of spiritual direction in recent decades. Yet in many circles, especially in ecumenical and interfaith contexts, it is unclear what grounds the practice of this ancient art. As a tradition’s practice of spiritual direction expresses its particular theology, which, in turn, is shaped by its unique history, this work explains that ecumenical spiritual direction must make and retain the tri-perspective of history, theology, and method that faithfully reflects each tradition’s distinctives as requisite for true ecumenical enrichment. The importance of this trinocular vision is brought into sharp focus through a comparative study of Ignatius of Loyola and John Calvin, where points of continuity and discontinuity between the Ignatian and Reformed traditions underscore the importance of this work’s thesis.
