Kevin Powell, Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist 555 PREFACE ver the past 30 years, texts and readers intended for use in women’s studies and gender studies courses have changed and developed in important ways. In the 1970s and into Othe early 1980s, many courses and texts focused almost exclusively on women as a rel- atively undifferentiated category. Two developments have broadened the study of women. First, in response to criticisms by women of color and by lesbians that heterosexual, white, middle- class feminists had tended to “falsely universalize” their own experiences and issues, courses and texts on gender began in the 1980s to systematically incorporate race and class diversity. And simultaneously, as a result of feminist scholars’ insistence that gender be studied as a rela- tional construct, more concrete studies of men and masculinity began to emerge in the 1980s. This book reflects this belief that race, class, and sexual diversity among women and men should be central to the study of gender. But this collection adds an important new dimension that will broaden the frame of gender studies. By including some articles that are based on re- search in countries outside the United States, in nonindustrial societies, and among immigrant groups, we hope that Gender Through the Prism of Difference will contribute to a transcendence of the often myopic, U.S.-based, and Eurocentric focus in the study of sex and gender. The in- clusion of these perspectives is not simply useful for illuminating our own cultural blind spots: It also begins to demonstrate how, early in the twenty-first century, gender relations are in- creasingly centrally implicated in current processes of globalization. Because the amount of high-quality research on gender has expanded so dramatically in the past decade, the most difficult task in assembling this collection was deciding what to include. The third edition, while retaining the structure of the previous edition, is different and improved. This edition includes material on gender issues relevant to the college-age generation including gender and popular culture, Islam, and men and war. Many of the new readings tend toward a more personal narrative style that students will find engaging. We thank faculty and staff colleagues in the Department of Sociology and the Gender Stud- ies program at the University of Southern California and in the Department of Sociology and the Julian Samora Research Institute at Michigan State University for their generous support and assistance. Other people contributed their labor to the development of this book. We are grateful to our research assistants, Genelle Gaudinez of the University of Southern California and Katie Thurman of Michigan State University, who contributed invaluable groundwork. We acknowledge the helpful criticism and suggestions made by the following reviewers: Linda Grant, University of Georgia; Elizabeth B. Erbaugh, University of New Mexico; Jackie Eller, Middle Tennessee State University; Jean L. Potuchek, Gettysburg College; Joya Misra, University of Massachusetts; Janet Wirth-Cauchon, Drake University; and Kathryn B. Ward, Southern Illinois University. Our editor at Oxford University Press, Peter Labella, has been en- ix x PREFACE couraging, helpful, and patient. We also thank Sean Mahoney and Celeste Alexander for their editorial assistance as the book moved into production. Finally, we thank our families for their love and support as we worked on this book.

Homan 2018 Abstract In this dissertation, I seek to begin building a new line of health inequality research that parallels the emerging structural racism literature by developing theory and measurement for the new concept of structural sexism and examining its relationship to health. Consistent with contemporary theories of gender as a multilevel social system, I conceptualize and measure structural sexism as systematic gender inequality in power and resources at the macro-level (U.S. state), meso-level (marital dyad), and micro-level (individual). Through a series of quantitative analyses, I examine how various measures of structural sexism affect the health of men, women, and infants in the U.S.

    * omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1 dutch ships in tropical waters robert parthesius The end of the 16th century saw Dutch expansion in Asia, as the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) was fast becoming an Asian power, both political and economic. By 1669, the VOC was the richest private company the world had ever seen. This landmark study looks at perhaps the most important tool in the Company’ trading – its ships. In order to reconstruct the complete shipping activities of the VOC, the author created a unique database of the ships’ movements, including frigates and other, hitherto ignored, smaller vessels. Parthesius’s research into the routes and the types of ships in the service of the VOC proves that it was precisely the wide range of types and sizes of vessels that gave the Company the ability to sail – and continue its profitable trade – the year round. Furthermore, it appears that the VOC commanded at least twice the number of ships than earlier historians have ascertained. Combining the best of maritime and social history, this book will change our understanding of the commercial dynamics of the most successful economic organization of the period. robert parthesius Robert Parthesius is a naval historian and director of the Centre for International Heritage Activities in Leiden. dutch ships in amsterdam tropical waters studies in the dutch golden age The Development of 978 90 5356 517 9 the Dutch East India Company (voc) Amsterdam University Press Shipping Network in Asia www.aup.nl dissertation 1595-1660 Amsterdam University Press Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters The development of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) shipping network in Asia - Robert Parthesius Founded in as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c.

  • Sea Gypsies and Pinisi of the Laut Java
    Sea Gypsies and Pinisi of the Laut Java By Geoffrey Walker A modern Day motorized Dhow derivative, sometimes called a Pinisi. There can be nothing more serene than to sight the lazy sails of a Dhow or Pinisi flapping on the horizon, continually seeking the wind, as it slowly forges its way across the Java Sea from Surabaya or Semarang bound for Makassar or Bali. Although now mostly fitted with auxiliary engines these historical sailing craft still use the wind for the bulk of their sea passage. These craft ooze charm and are very practical craft as they encompass a wide spectrum of sailing vessels from coastal fishing boats to ocean going cargo carriers and passenger ferries. They bear a very close resemblance to Arab Dhows that trade around the Middle East, East Coast of Africa and across the Indian Ocean. A sight which I am sure fellow mariners of my vintage well recall. The Pinisi, has its origins in Indonesia. Being mainly built in Makassar located in the Sulawesi Group of Islands in the eastern provinces of Indonesia and is still used widely mostly for inter- island transportation, cargo or fishing purposes within the Indonesian archipelago. The fist Pinisi ships are said to have been derived from the Dutch “Pinas” introduced into Indonesia around the 1600s Originally these would likely have been fitted with lateen or other similar types of sail because the modern schooner rig was not widely used before the 19th century. As with other sailing ship types, many have been fitted with marine motors which has caused a slight change in the appearance of these ships, because up until the 1970s most of these craft were totally reliant on wind power.
