Gender Politics in Latin America
Gender Politics in Latin America, edited by Elizabeth Dore, successfully challenges past approaches to Latin American feminist studies.The contributing authors, all left leaning, use a multi-disiplinary tactic to dispel past myths and call for a more diverse and complete approach to feminist studies.With this new method, they motivate the need to change the writing of history and to mobilize all classes of women in the name ofequality rather than survival. Although, not perfect, a good text on modern approaches to feminism in Latin America. ... Read more

Product Description
The study of citizenship in the context of South Africa implicitly challenges the rights-based democracy in South Africa, while literature regarding women and citizenship has greatly contributed to a new understanding of citizenship. Locally, many global processes are reproduced in the discourse of rights-claiming, issues of institutional representation, bodily integrity in the face of violence, and care in the face of a lack of care. This volume takes the debate of citizenship in South Africa in a more theoretical and empirical direction while engaging with knowledge produced elsewhere in the world. As part of the Gender in a Local/Global World series, it investigates the making of gendered citizenship, institutionalization of gender politics, the state of gendered policy making, local citizenship, rights, the women's movement, gendered violence, as well as citizenship and the body. ...

Product Description
Is Darwin a tool of Satan or a voice of reason?

2009 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species and Christians continue to disagree about whether Darwinism should be baptized into our theology or rejected as a tool of Satan. Debating Darwin is aimed at Christians on both sides of the debate and hopes to further discussion.

In this book two distinct questions are under the microscope:

1. Is Darwinism compatible with orthodox Christian faith?
2. Does the scientific evidence support Darwinism?

The book begins with a simple explanation of the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution. Stephen Lloyd then opens the first debate by making a theological and biblical case against Darwinism. He is met in battle by Graeme Finlay and Stephen Pattemore who argue that Christian Scripture and theology are compatible with Darwinism.

This book will not tell readers what to think but it will inform the more intelligent debate.

Can Christians embrace evolution?
A debate is increasingly taking place within conservative Christianity regarding the compatibility of neo-Darwinism with scripture.This book is for those Christians who are interested in engaging in that debate.In broad terms, the debate is largely between those who argue for incompatibility, and deny some aspects of neo-Darwinism, with those who argue for complementarity of neo-Darwinism with scripture."Debating Darwin" features a respectful debate between representatives from these two camps.The book is in two parts.Firstly, neo-Darwinism and scripture and secondly, the scientific evidence for neo-Darwinism.In each section of the book authors from each perspective present their argument in a single short essay followed by a short response to that essay from the opposing perspective.In the first section the authors take a holistic view of the biblical narrative, or story of redemption, and address whether a neo-Darwinist understanding of creation is compatible to that.In doing so, some of the more difficult biblical passages and doctrines are touched upon. In the second section, David Swift presents an Intelligent-Design based argument for the insufficiency of scientific explanations of macro-evolution, while Graeme Finlay presents evidence, primarily from the field of molecular genetics, for the common ancestry of humans with other primates.The book is brief and therefore accessible.Although not fully comprehensive in regard to it's representation of all view-points and it's treatment of the whole gamut of scientific evidence, "Debating Darwin" does provide in-depth arguments that are given from the respective authors areas of expertise.Whether new to the debate, or already familiar with it, this book should have something to offer.Regardless of your opinion regarding evolution, this book does demonstrate that respectful debate can take place in a Christ-honoring manner. ...

Product Description
This study offers a new explanation for why advances in women's rights rarely occur in democratizing states. Drawing on deliberative theory, Denise Walsh argues that the leading institutions in the public sphere are highly gendered, meaning women's ability to shape the content of public debate and put pressure on the state to advance their rights is limited. She tests this claim by measuring the openness and inclusiveness of debate conditions in the public sphere during select time periods in Poland, Chile, and South Africa. Through a series of structured, focused comparisons, the book confirms the importance of just debate for securing gender justice. The comparisons also reveal that counterpublics in the leading institutions in the public sphere are crucial for expanding debate conditions. The book concludes with an analysis of counterpublics and suggests an active role for the state in the public sphere. ... Read more
