Sharpened Edge: Women of Color, Resistance, and Writing
Athey brings together new scholarship testing the possibility of transnational feminist action and theorizing historical and contemporary aspects of resistance for women of color. Included are essays by and about women of Africa, India, and the Americas, including women of African American, Chicana, Puerto Rican, and Yaqui origins. Essays examine regional and historical contexts to demonstrate the central role of women of color in armed resistance struggle and in sustaining cultures of resistance, despite the fact that the agency, speech, and writing of women of color have received the least attention in studies of resistance. Contributors challenge thinking across many disciplines: sociology, literary and cultural studies, history, political science, and education. Resistance struggles examined include women in armed struggle for national self-determination, political and economic struggle for human rights and against state-sponsored repression; and women sustaining political and cultural resistance against specific religious, feminist, or nationalist doctrines, and against the repression of multiple forms of political, sexual, intellectual, and artistic expression..

'With the Sharpened Axe of Reason': Approaches to Walter Benjamin
Walter Benjamin holds a unique fascination for students and scholars interested in the question of modernity The most original thinker of Weimar Germany, Benjamin has become something of a cultural icon and his works are often regarded with awe rather than critical scrutiny. This book offers surprising new insights from a number of perspectives -- sociology, history, women’s studies, literary and cultural studies -- and investigates unexplored areas of Benjamin scholarship to arrive at a critically balanced perception of his work. There are four main sections: · a critical re-evaluation of Benjamin’s concepts of history and modernity in light of postmodernist discourses; · a discussion of aspects of Benjamin’s literary scholarship; · a re-evaluation of Benjamin’s writings on media and performance theories; and · an investigation of Benjamin’s peculiar ‘utopianism’ which includes a critical consideration of sexual/gender politics. .
