Milestones in Critical Feminist Theory offers a thought-provoking introduction to a range of concepts that have influenced feminist thinking. Breaking down and exploring complex themes and debates, it starts discussions rather than offering conclusions, providing the building blocks for readers to explore new directions in feminist thought.The book is arranged by keywords with each chapter featuring a term or a set of terms which feminist theory has invested with multiple perspectives, conversations, and controversies, bridging between different feminist phases, events, orientations, disciplines, and concerns. Each chapter presents broad overviews of why a particular term is relevant to feminist theory, as well deeper engagement with integral texts. While not meant to be taken as firm definitions, the keywords in this book are gateways to stories that describe the goals and histories of feminist theory. Robin Truth Goodman treats feminist theory as a living theory developing from a reckoning with messy and unpredictable politics. Goodman argues that the tools for social transformation have been prepared by writers and thinkers who came before, but that language, like gender, is something that cannot be fixed in place because its ability to reference things in the world is unstable and uncertain. If the terms that feminism has traditionally claimed in its self-descriptions are flawed or inadequate, our responsibility lies in transforming them, reanimating them in line with todays political needs, and creating through them new languages and narratives to generate different realities.Milestones in Critical Feminist Theory provides an informed foundation for those new to the subject. It is an invaluable resource for undergraduates and postgraduates of literary and cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, social justice curricula, and sociology. Autorid: Robin Truth Goodman
Welfare has long been a divisive issue in Canada, sparking debates across the political spectrum.In her latest text, political studies scholar Rebecca Wallace explores how Canadian media frames social assistance recipients. Revealing how race and identity shape public perceptions of welfare and redistribution, Who Deserves Welfare? presents a comprehensive analysis spanning several decades, from the 1990s to the 2020s, demonstrating how immigrant and Indigenous welfare recipients are framed differently.Drawing on a media analysis, a custom-designed survey, and a news framing experiment, Wallace shows how identity plays a crucial role in the media’s representation of welfare recipients and public perceptions of deservingness. Immigrant recipients are often portrayed positively for their economic potential, while Indigenous recipients face negative stereotypes about work ethic. However, Wallace finds that the relationship between media framing and public attitudes is complex when it comes to immigrant and Indigenous recipients, and, troublingly, that positive coverage does not necessarily yield positive sentiment toward redistribution. Who Deserves Welfare? offers a critical examination of how media framing influences public opinion about welfare and identity, shedding light on the quiet but persistent resentment targeting immigrant and Indigenous communities. By exploring these media portrayals, Wallace invites readers to reconsider the assumptions that underlie both support for and opposition to assistance programs in Canada. Autorid: Rebecca Wallace

Servants of the Sacred Dream explores the rebirth of the feminine into individual and collective consciousness, and its importance to women at a time when the unquestionable power and authority of the patriarchy is on the wane. Re-emergence of the deep feminine is often heralded by periods of psycho-spiritual crisis or illness, which demand an encounter with our innermost depths. This book offers meaningful and positive perspectives from which to view our descents into illness, depression, and the dark realms of the underworld. Turning to ancient wisdom, we rediscover a relationship to such events that nurtures their potential for personal and collective healing and transformation. We find maps to guide us through uncharted territories of the psyche in the ancient myths of descent to the Goddess, and the initiatory journeys of the shaman - a way for women to empower themselves through embracing suffering and being grounded in their depths. Servants of the Sacred Dream is a celebration of the human capacity to face courageously what lies beyond superficial concerns, drawing meaning from suffering, to engage more fully and vividly in the creative and healing dance of life, death, and rebirth. It guides the reader on a healing journey through darkness into a richer and deeper sense of life. This work invites body, soul, and spirit to join the dance.
