Download or read book Freewomen Patriarchal Authority and the Accusation of Prostitution written by Stephanie Lynn Budin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining freewomen in Mesopotamian society, ancient Greek hetaira, Renaissance Italy courtesans, historical and modern Japanese geisha, and the Hindu devadāsī of India, Stephanie Lynn Budin makes a wide-ranging study of independent women who have historically been dismissed as prostitutes. The purpose of this book is to rectify a well-entrenched misunderstanding about a category of women existing throughout world history—women who were not (and are not) under patriarchal authority, here called "Freewomen." Having neither father nor husband, and not being bound to any religious authority monitoring their sexuality, these women are understood to be prostitutes, and the terminology designating them appears as such in dictionaries and common parlance. This book examines five case studies of such women: the Mesopotamian ḫarīmtu, the Greek hetaira, the Italian cortigiana "onesta", the Japanese geisha, and the Indian devadāsī. Thus the book goes from the dawn of written history to the present day, from ancient Europe and the Near East through modern Asia, comparatively examining how each of these cultures had its own version of the Freewoman and what this meant in terms of sexuality, gender, and culture. This work also considers the historiographic infelicities that gave rise and continuance to this misreading of the historic and ethnographic record. This engaging and provocative study will be of great interest to students and scholars working in Gender and Sexuality Studies, Women’s History, Classical Studies, Ancient Near Eastern and Biblical Studies, Asian Studies, World Cultures, and Historiography.

Download or read book A Broken Judicial System the Power of Unsubstantiated Accusation written by Victor Cuevas and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, Victor Cuevas was falsely accused of raping a thirteen-year-old girl. Even though he was acquitted of all charges three years later, his life has never been the same. In this book, he looks back at the fight he waged to clear his name. Athough he did not know it at the time, the author’s nightmare began Aug. 23, 2005, when he visited a resort for a relaxing overnight getaway with his girlfriend. Five weeks later, he was arrested after a thirteen-year-old girl claimed he took her to the same resort during the same timeframe and sexually assaulted her. The police marched into the middle school where he worked and escorted him out of the building in handcuffs—in front of students, peers, and the news media. They didn’t tell him what he had allegedly done wrong. In this account, the author reveals how teenage angst between two people turned into a false accusation of rape. He also shares a stark account of what happens when you’ve been accused of a sex crime—even after a jury of peers declares you to be innocent.

He wants revenge—so he calls Butch Karp. Once the city’s leading prosecutor, Karp left the District Attorney’s office to go into private practice, but he still knows his way around the halls of power.

Moore, Jr. and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mulatto · Outlaw · Pilgrim · Priest, John K. Moore, Jr. presents the first in-depth study, critical edition, and scholarly translation of His Majesty’s Representative v. José Soller, Mulatto Pilgrim, for Impersonating a Priest and Other Crimes. This legal case dates to the waning days of the Hapsburg Spanish empire and illuminates the discrimination those of black-African ancestry could face—that Soller did face while attempting to pass freely on his pilgrimage from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela and beyond. This bilingual edition and study of the criminal trial against Soller is important for reconstructing his journey and for revealing at least in part the de facto and de jure treatment of mulattos in the early-modern Iberian Atlantic World.
