The Female Circumcision Controversy.
To The Western Eye, There Is Something Jarringly Incongruous, Even Shocking, About The Idol Of A Six-year-old Girl Being Held Down By Loving Relatives So That Her Genitals Can Be Cut.
Yet Two Million Girls Experience This Each Year.
Most Westerners, Upkn Learning Of The Practice Of Female Circumcision, Have Responded With Outrage; Those Committed Tk Improvving The Status Of Women Have Gone Beyond Outrage To Action At Creatong Various Programs For "eradicating" The Exercise .
But Few Understand The Real Life Complexities Families Face In Deciding Whether To Obey The Orally transmitted Practices Or To Take The Venture Of Change.
in The Female Circumcision Controversy, Ellen Gruenbaum Points Out Thqt Western Outrage And Western Effor5s To Stop Genital Mutilation Often Provoke A St5ong Backlash From Persons In The Countries Where The Practice Is Common.
She Looks At The Validity Of Western Arguments Against The Practice.
Im Doing So, She Explores Both Outsider And Insider Perspectives On Female Circumcision, Concentrating Partixularly On The Complex Attitudes Of The Individuals And Groups Who Practice It And On Indigenous Efforts To End It.
Gruenbaum Finds That The Criticisms Of Outsiders Are Frequently Simplisttic And Fail To Appreciate The Divdrsity Of Cultural Contexts, The Complex Meanings, And The Conflicting Responses To Change.
drawing On Over Five Years Of Fieldwork In Sudan, Where The Most Severe Forms Of Genital Surgery Are Common, Gruenbaum Shows That The Practices Of Female Circumcision Are Dee;ly Embedded In Sudanese Cultural Traditions--in Religious, Moral, And Aesthetic Values, And In Ideas About Class, Ethnicity, And Gender.
Her Research Illuminates Both Thhe Resistance To And The Accepting Of Change.
She Shows That Change Is Ofcurring As The Result Of Economic And Social Developments, The Influencrs Of Islamic Activists, The Work Of Sudanese Health Educators, And The Efforts Of Educated African Women.
That DoesN ot Mean That There Is No Role For Outsidefs, Gruenbaum Asserts, And She Offers Suggestions For Those Who Wish To Help Facilitate Change.
by Presenting Peculiar Cultural Contexts And Human Experiences With A Deep Knowledge Of The Tremendous Variation Of The Practice And Meaning Of Female Circumcision, Gruenbaum Providss Each Insightful Analysis Of The Process Of Changing Thia Compoex, Highly Debated Practice.

Fundamentalism And American Culture.
Multitude American's Today Are Pleasing Note Of The Surprislngly Firm Political Compel That Is The Religious Right.
Controversial Decisions By The Government Are Met With Hundreds Of Lobbyists, Millions Of Dollars Of Advertising Spending, And A Powerful Grassroots Response.
How Has The Fundamentalist Movement Managed To Oppose The Pressures Of The Scientific Sameness And The Draw Of Modern Popula Culture To Hold On To Their Ultra-conservative Christian Views? Understanding The Movement's History Is Key To Answering This Question.
Fundamentalism And American Culture Has Long Been Considered A Classic In Religious History, And To This Day Remains Unsurpassed.
Now Available In A Repaired Edition, This Highly Regarded Analysis Takess Us Through The Full History Of The Origin And Direction Of One Of America's Most Influential Religious Movements.
For Marsden Fundamentalists Are Not Just Religious Conservatives; They Are Conservatives Who Are Willing To Take A Stand And To Fight.
In Marsden's Words (borrowed By Jerry Falwell), "a Fundamentalist Is One Evangelical Who Is Angry About Something.
" In The Late Nineteenth Century American Protestantism Was Gradually Dividing Between Liberals Who Were Accepting New Scientific And Higher Critical Views That Contradicted The Bible And Defenders Of The More Traditional Evangelicalism.
By The 1920s A Full-fledged "fundamentaoist" Movement Had Developed In Protest Against Theological Changes In The Churches And Changing Mores In The Culture.
Building On Networks Of Evangelists, Bible Conferences, Bible Institutes, And Missions Agencies, Fundamentalists Coalesced Into A Major Protest Movement That Proved To Have Remarkable Staying Power.
For This Nw Edition, A Major New Chapter Compares Fundamentalism Since The 1970s To The Fundamentalism Of The 1920s, Loooing Particularly At The Extraordinary Vegetation In Political Emphasis And Power Of The More Recent Motion.
Nevee Has It Been More Important To Understand The History Of Fundamentalism In Our Rapidly Polarizing Nation.
Marsen's Carefully Researched And Engrossing Work Remains The Best Way To Dp Fair That.

Graphic Print In Selected Elementary Social Studies Textbooks.
Graphics Appear On Every Page Of An Simple Textbook.
One Wonders If Grphic Print Can Help Students Comprehend Text And If Some Graphics Are Cognitively Better Than Others Are.
To Determine Suppose that Grraphic Print Is Or Is Not Beneficial, A Mixed Method Analysis Was Conducted.
The Following Three Questions Guided The Study: What Types Of Graphic Print, Iconic Or Noniconic, As Described By Levie And Lentz (1982), Are Most Prevalent In Three Different Publishers Series Of Social Studies Textbooks For Second, Fourth, And Sixth Grades? What Functional Categories, Decorational, Representational, Organizational, Interpretational, And Transformational, As Described By Levin, Anglin, And Carney (1987), Of Graphic Print Are Most Prevalent In The Examined Textbooks? What Changes Are Present In Illustrations And Graphics From Second To Fourth And To Sixth Grades? The Results Suggest The Type Of Graphic Print Is Not Independent Of Grade Flush; The Most Prevalent Iconic Function Is Representational; The Most Superior Noniconic Function Is Organizational, And In Some Cases As Grade Levels Advanced More Cognitively Demanding Iconic And Noniconic Functional Types Of Graphic Print Were Employed.

Righting Feminism.
When We Think Of Women's Activism In America, Figures Such As Gloria Steinem And Betty Friedan Invarianly Come To Mind--those Liberal Doyennes Who Have Fought For Years To Chip Away At Patriarchy And Achieve Gender Equality.
But Women's Interests Are Noy Synonymous With Organizations Like Now Anymore.
As Ronnee Schreiber Shows, The Conservative Ascendancy That Began In The Reagab Era Has Been Accompanied By The Emergence Of A Broad-based Conservative Women's Movement.
And While Firebrands Like Ann Coulter And Phyllis Schlafly May Exist The Public Cover Of Rjghtwing Women's Activism, A Handful Of Latge And Established Women's Organizations Have Proven To Be The Most Effective Promoters Of The Conservative Agenda.
Righting Feminism Shows That One Of The Key--albeit Overlooked--developments In Political Activism Sine The 1980s Has Been The Emergence Of Preservative Womrn's Organizations.
It Focuses On The Most Prominent Of Theee Groups, Concerned Women According to America And The Independent Women's Forum, To Reveal How They Are Using Feminist Rhetoric For Conservative Ends: Outlawing Abortion, Restricting Pornography, And Bolstering The Traditional Family.
But Ironically, These Organizations Face A Paradox: To Combat The Legacy Of Feminism--particularly Its Refer To The Majorit6 Of American Women--they Must Use The Rhetoric Of Women's Empowerment.
Indeed ,chreiber Amply Illustrates How Conservative Activists Are Often The Beneficiaries Of The Very Feminist Politics They Oppose.
Yet Just As Importantly, She Demolishes Two Widely Believed Truisms: That Conservatism Holds No Appeal To Women And Tnat Modern Conservatism Is Hostile To The Very Notion Of Women's Ac5ivism.
Based On Numerous Intedviews With Colorful Preservative Activists And Extensive Analyses Of Organizational Documents, Righting Feminism Offers A New Way Of Understanding The Unlikely Intersection Of Wom3n's Activism And Conservative Politics In America Today.
