[kagablog] PARADOXES OF THE POSTCOLONIAL PUBLIC SPHERE: SOUTH AFRICAN ...: She has co-edited with Anne Marie Goetz No Shortcuts to Power: African Women in Politics and Policy-Making, and with Shahra Razavi, Gender and Social Policy in Global Context: Uncovering the Gendered Structure of the ”˜Social’.
[BRAIN DRAIN] Jacobson’s Whiteness of a Different Color: Gabaccia also hopes that future “studies will show greater sensitivity than Jacobson’s to the fact that Americans have ”˜seen’ race in deeply gendered ways” (Gabaccia 985-986). Again, I agree that gender plays a role in furthering different kinds of oppression within same racialized or ethnic boundaries and that those implications are important.
[What Do You Believe?] John O’Sullivan on the Failure of Mainstream Conservativism: In domestic affairs that instinct now migrated to social policy, health policy, race relations, gender equality, and much else. As the late Frank Johnson summed it up: “Because they’re not allowed to nationalize industries anymore, they nationalize people instead.”
[ngos - we & others] SARDC.net: Programme: SARDC has five main areas of focus which are pursued by separate specialist departments for environment and water resources, gender, democracy and governance, regional economic development, and human development, in partnership with other institutions including the Southern African Development Community (SADC) secretariat and sectors, IUCN-The World Conservation Union, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and networks of national partners in SADC member states.
[Panorama | Citizens of Europe] The democratic approach to international life: One can clearly see in its purpose that the aim is not so much to propose a particular policy related to a certain ideology or certain partisan interests, but to work towards the extension of democracy itself, and thus contribute to the creation of a possible “transnational democracy in Europe”. This is the reason why it should not only be supported - in the name of democracy - but also because it represents, not only for academics and intellectuals, but also for political practitioners, an opportunity to assess and test the first implementation of trans-national, active political processes: how and from which perspective should a kind of European electoral management organisation be established to assist, develop and follow up European transnational Initiatives?
[BEAUTIFUL, ALSO, ARE THE SOULS OF MY BLACK SISTERS] RACE AND THE POLITICS OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: FOCUS ON BLACK ...: Theoretical analyses of race, class, and gender have tended to try to determine which evil–racial oppression, class exploitation, or gender inequality–and thus which analytical category–race, class, or gender–is primary. A major breakthrough in theoretical and epistemological paradigms came with the recognition of the “ampersand problem in feminist thought” (Spelman, 1988) that one cannot add up oppressions or racial, class, and gender identities, but that these identities intersect and define unique experiences for the people who occupy particular social locations.
[Cambridge Forecast Group Blog] SUSTAINABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT: Human security is taken here as an emphasis on basic needs, sustainability of a set of core capabilities and agency of people as full participants in society, for which gender equity is essential. Summerfield focuses on two key areas of rapid change: the global labour market for services and remittances for financing development through a case study on gender and human security of Latina/o immigrants in central Illinois.
[Left Turns?] Report to the Peter Wall Institute of Advanced Studies: What is less explicit and in need of further development is that the movement against the Washington consensus also brought together very different groups under an “anti capitalism umbrella” that included environmental groups, anti-globalizers, ethnic groups, movements for gender equality, and so on, thus blending concerns that would normally be in the sphere of democratic politics with issues relating to weak state capacity. In addition, while the surge of the Left was triggered by the 1999 economic crisis, it has taken off during an economic boom;

[Building Blocks] Who Are We? The Challenges To America’s National Identity: They are in part rhetorical questions, but they are also questions that have profound implications for American society and American policy at home and abroad. In the 1990s Americans engaged in intense debates over immigration and assimilation, multiculturalism and diversity, race relations and affirmative action, religion in the public sphere, bilingual education, school and college curricula, school prayer and abortion, the meaning of citizenship and nationality, foreign involvement in American elections, the extraterritorial application of American law, and the increasing political role of diasporas here and abroad.
[Anovelista.com] All The Women Are White, All The Blacks Are Men and Some Of Us Are ...: Steinem’s argument that women were denied the vote for a half-century after Black men were made voting citizens ignores two truths: 1) had the right for women to vote been included in the 14th and 15th Amendments, those Amendments were unlikely to have passed, and 2) despite being granted the right to vote in the Constitution, it took nearly another century before the Voting Rights Act allowed the majority of African Americans to exercise that right in the face of profoundly institutionalized racism and apartheid. But Steinem essentially argues that these details are irrelevant: because women were not granted the vote when Black men were, Black men face fewer barriers today compared to White women, and thus are less deserving of affirmative action when it comes to the highest position in the country.
