  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Anthropology of Food
    11/1/2019 Memory has added seasoning Anthropology of food Articles VARIA Memory has added seasoning The legacy of feminist restaurants and cafes in the United-States La mémoire rajoute l'assaisonnement ; l'héritage des restaurants et des cafés féministes aux États-Unis A K Abstracts English Français This article looks at the legacy of the communities created by feminist restaurants and cafés in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. Using a mixed methodology of interviews, archives, and a survey of online forums, including Facebook, I explore how the memory of the feminist restaurants and cafés endures through online communities and a new generation of feminist food businesses. The process of remembering feminist restaurants and cafés has the effect of reproducing and promoting the values enacted by the original owners. First, I briefly discuss the kinds of communities feminist restaurant owners fostered during the years of the restaurants’ operation, giving attention to who was included and excluded. Following an explanation of the factors that led to the closure of these businesses, I examine the resurgence of their communities in online spaces and the other ways their legacy has been preserved. I conclude by highlighting the restaurants’ impact on the current food business landscape. Cet article examine l'héritage des communautés créées par les restaurants et cafés féministes aux États-Unis dans les années 1970 et 1980. Grâce à des entretiens et à une étude des forums en ligne, j'explore comment la mémoire des restaurants et des cafés féministes perdure à travers des communautés en ligne et d'une nouvelle génération d'entreprises féministes.

  • Kristen Hogan's the Feminist Bookstore
    Book Review Symposium – Queer Geographies Kristen Hogan, The Feminist Bookstore Movement: Lesbian Antiracism and Feminist Accountability, Durham: Duke University Press, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-8223-6129-9 (paper); ISBN: 978-0-8223-6110-7 (cloth) In an era of instantaneous purchasing, one-day shipping, and impersonal book buying, it is difficult to envision a time when bookstores fostered robust intellectual and activist communities. In The Feminist Bookstore Movement, literature and library studies scholar Kristen Hogan documents how feminist bookstores did just that for nearly 30 years. Her book examines the challenges, successes, and failures of feminist bookstores across North America from the late 1970s until the early 2000s. Hogan argues that feminist bookstores were not just places to purchase feminist literature or women-authored books, but also served as meeting grounds for implementing feminism, feminist accountability, and antiracism. Using archival research, interviews with former bookstore employees, owners, and publishers, and her own experience working in a Toronto feminist bookstore, Hogan explores the nuances and paradoxes of operating feminist bookstores according to feminist, antiracist, and anticapitalist politics. Feminist bookstores arose out of the larger women’s rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Chapter 1 examines the origins of several prominent feminist bookstores across North America in the late 1970s and the formation of the Feminist Bookstore News, a prominent trade publication for feminist writings. Although significant strides had been made during the mid 20th century, women found that publishing and circulating their work was still challenging. Feminist bookstores eventually drove movements such as Women in Print (an effort to increase female 1 participation in all aspects of publishing) and fed the fire for the establishment of women’s studies departments in universities.

DESCRIPTORS *Course Descriptions; Curriculum Guides; Educational Innovation; Females; *Feminism; History; Language Arts; Literature; Secondary Education; Sex Discrimination; Social Studies; Textbook Bias; *Womens Studies ABSTRACT This book describes courses on women's studies for the high school curriculum in literature and language and in history and social studies. Based on the women's social movement, women's studies is an alternative curriculum with goals to raise student consciousness about sexist curricula and society, compensate for the omission of women frcm curricula, develop research and knowledge needed to broaden curricula, and recover the history and culture of all women. Preceding the coursedescriptions is an article on textbook analysis which reviews evidence of female-oriented material in U.S. history and in English literature textbooks. The 23 syllabi and descriptions of curricula included in this volume are divided into three categories: history, literature, and interdisciplinary studies. The nine history courses illustrate new directions among scholars in women's history: the need to reperiodize history, the use of autobiograFhies, and the inclusion of class and race to describe women in history. Seven literature courses emphasize writing skills, independent and thoughtful investigation and analysis, and use of family histories and TV situations.
