Interpreting Intersectionality Interpretative Politics in Metacommentaries

Against the backdrop of the emergence of intersectionality as a dominant paradigm in feminist scholarship and activism this book explores the genre of metacommentaries as critical responses to the development of intersectionality as a paradigm. With attention to the dispersal of intersectionality into ever-newer contexts – and the missteps and breakdowns that occur during this process – it addresses the concern that intersectionality is transforming into something unrecognisable drifting too far away from its foundational sources and visions and becoming diluted by its expansion. Examining the process by which metacommentaries engage in a form of corrective storytelling – seeking to rescue intersectionality from misuse by pinning it down and returning it to where it belongs – Interpreting Intersectionality presents a critique of these gestures of correction arguing that far from reconnecting intersectionality with its roots and enabling it to realise its potential such metacommentaries actually bind the scholarly discourse on intersectionality to an either/or argumentative dynamic. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students with an interest in feminist theory gender studies and/or intersectional analysis. | Interpreting Intersectionality Interpretative Politics in Metacommentaries

Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

In Edwin and John: A Personal History of the American South award-winning author James T. Sears interweaves diaries letters and poems to craft an innovative first-person narrative history that details the hard realities of growing up gay in the South during the early decades of the 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War II and the post-war South Edwin and John provides a unique and intimate approach to queer history by following the 50 year relationship between John Zeigler and Edwin Peacocke that carried them both from their roots in the conservative South through service in World War II and into a placid and loving literary life where they opened a bookshop in what was then the small town of Charleston South Carolina. Edwin and John is a revealing look at queer history detailing how these two men and their remarkable circle of close friends-which included some of the greatest writers and artists of their era including Prentiss Taylor Carson McCullers and John Bennett-endured war intolerance and jealousies while living proud and public lives in far more conservative times. | Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

Traditional Authority and Security in Contemporary Nigeria

Exploring the contentious landscape of Nigeria’s escalating violence this book describes the changing roles of traditional authorities in combatting contemporary security challenges. Set against a backdrop of widespread security threats – including insurgency land disputes communal violence regional independence movements and widespread criminal activities – perhaps more than ever before Nigeria’s conventional security infrastructure seems ill-equipped for the job. This book offers a fresh empirical analysis of the roles of traditional authorities – including kings Ezes Obas and Emirs – who are often hailed as potent alternatives to the state in security governance. It complicates the assumption that these traditional leaders by virtue of their customary legitimacy and popular roots are singularly effective in preventing and managing violence. Instead in exploring their creative adaptation to governance roles after a dramatic postcolonial downturn this book argues that traditional leaders can augment but not substitute the state in addressing insecurity. This book’s in-depth analysis will be of interest to researchers and policy makers across African and security studies political science anthropology and development.
