KVINDERNE PÅ SPROGØ handler om et politisk eksperiment, der strækker sig over årene 1923 til 1961. På den lille ø Sprogø i Storebælt placerer man, hvad man kalder ‘moralsk åndssvage’ kvinder - dvs. kvinder, der vurderes som svagt begavede og kvinder, der opfører sig ‘letfærdigt og løsagtigt’. Herude omgivet og indespærret af kilometervis af åbent hav vil man genopdrage kvinderne. Her er man sikker på, at de ikke får børn. Børn, man frygter vil ligge samfundet økonomisk til last og undergrave befolkningens arvemasse med deres dårlige gener.

DR. SHOCK OG AVERSIONSPROJEKTET handler om den canadiske psykiater Aubrey Levin, som i 1970'erne og 1980'erne forsøgte at "kurere" homoseksuelle mænd og kvinder i den Sydafrikanske hær. Dette skete med voldsomme og krænkende metoder, blandt andet ved at give dem elektrisk stød og mod deres vilje udsætte dem for kønsskifteoperationer. Videnskaben har altid eksperimenteret på mennesker, og resultaterne har haft stor betydning for meget af det, vi i dag ved om menneskekroppen og sindet.

TUSKEGEE-EKSPERIMENTET handler om, da det amerikanske sundhedsvæsens afdeling for kønssygdomme i 1930'erne får en idé til et behandlingsprogram for syfilis.

Over de næste fire årtier deltager 600 personer i studiet. Alle deltagere i studiet er fattige afroamerikanske mænd fra den lille by Tuskegee i Alabama, USA, hvoraf omkring to-tredjedele har kønssygdommen syfilis.

Fast täglich wird Sawsan Chebli mit Hasskommentaren und Online-Hetze überhäuft. Wenn sie sich auf Social Media äußert, in einem Interview oder mit einem Zeitungsbeitrag in die öffentliche Debatte einmischt; wenn sie sich, wie so oft, leidenschaftlich für eine diverse und inklusive Gesellschaft ausspricht, türmt sich die Flut an Hate Speech mitunter zu brutalen Shitstorms auf. Dass aus digitaler schnell körperliche Gewalt werden kann, erlebte sie ganz unmittelbar, als sie eines Tages mitten in Berlin von einem Unbekannten körperlich angegriffen wurde.

Dr. Arline T. Geronimus coined the term “weathering” to describe the effects of systemic oppression—including racism and classism—on the body. In Weathering, based on more than 30 years of research, she argues that health and aging have more to do with how society treats us than how well we take care of ourselves. She explains what happens to human bodies as they attempt to withstand and overcome the challenges and insults that society leverages at them, and details how this process ravages their health. And she proposes solutions.

South Africa's story is often presented as a triumph of new over old, but while formal apartheid was abolished decades ago, stark and distressing similarities persist. Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh explores the edifice of systemic racial oppression—the new apartheid—that continues to thrive, despite or even because of our democratic system.

The government constantly attacks unions, CEOs devote endless time and resources to undermining them, and many unions themselves are stuck in the past. Despite this, inspiring work is happening all the time, from fast food strikes and climate change campaigning to the modernization of unions for the digital age. Speaking to academics, experts and grassroots organizers from TUC, UNISON, ACORN, IWGB and more, Eve Livingston explores how young workers are organizing to demand fair workplaces, and reimagines what an inclusive union movement that represents us all might look like.

According to the Washington Post, no one who cares about contemporary African-American cultures can ignore Bell Hooks's electrifying feminist explorations. Targeting cultural icons as diverse as Madonna and Spike Lee, Outlaw Culture presents a collection of essays that pulls no punches. As Hooks herself notes, interrogations of popular culture can be a "powerful site for intervention, challenge and change." And intervene, challenge, and change is what hooks does best.

The United States is the richest country on earth, yet has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. One in seven Americans live below the poverty line, a line which hasn't shifted over the last fifty years, despite the efforts of successive governments and extensive relief programs. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars? In Poverty, by America, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines the nature of American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it.

WER HAT DIE MACHT ZU HASSEN? – Erkundung eines politischen Gefühls. Der Hass, dieses knirschende, zersetzende Gefühl, ist allgegenwärtig. Er brüllt von den Straßen oder flüstert in gutbürgerlicher Feindseligkeit. Er wächst in Parlamentsreden, Querköpfen und Kinderzimmern, und ganz bestimmt nicht im Verborgenen, auch wenn viele ihn gerne dorthin verdammen würden. Şeyda Kurt holt den Hass raus aus der Verbannung und begibt sich auf die Spuren seines widerständigen Potentials.

Wokeness ist ein Kampfbegriff geworden. Das gilt sowohl für die Befürworter wie die Gegner einer Einstellung, die sich selbst als "wach" oder "aufmerksam" bezeichnet. Es gibt wenig sachlich begründete Auseinandersetzungen, dafür umso mehr Empörung. In diesem Buch werden zentrale Elemente von Wokeness kritisch geprüft: der Vorwurf der kulturellen Aneignung, die Forderung nach geschlechtergerechter Sprache, die Rede von strukturellem Rassismus, das Instrument der Cancel Culture und die Einführung einer geschlechtlichen Diversität.

When Chrissy King first joined a gym, she had one goal in mind: to “get skinny.” In pursuit of this goal, she fell into the all-too-common cycle of “not enough-ness”; no matter what she achieved, there was always something she felt she needed to change about her body, her appearance, herself. This made her realize the most liberating truth of all: She was not the problem. The Body Liberation Project is about finding actual freedom in our bodies by discovering strength and aspects of fitness, movement, and eating that work for YOU.

Imbued with tenderness for her family and a critical view of the challenges facing French North African immigrants, Kaoutar Harchi’s probing account illustrates the deeply personal effects of political issues. Mixed with happy memories of her childhood home in eastern France are ever-present reminders of the dangers from which her parents sought to shield her.

Without any previous knowledge about her estranged father’s native country, we watch her navigate and understand a foreign world where choice is driven by access to opportunity.

The term killjoy has been used to dismiss feminism by claiming that it causes misery. But by naming ourselves feminist killjoys, we recover a feminist history, turning it into a source of strength as well as an inspiration. Drawing on her own stories and those of others, especially Black and brown feminists and queer thinkers, Sara Ahmed combines depth of thought with honesty and intimacy. The Feminist Killjoy Handbook unpicks the lies our culture tells us and provides a form of solidarity and companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.

In The Opportunity Index, BlackRock managing director and cofounder of the #Talkaboutblack movement Gavin Lewis skillfully plots the origins of the racial wealth gap and its impact on the inequalities faced by the Black community today.

By beginning a conversation that encourages self-examination and compassion, Combined Destinies invites listeners to look at how white Americans have been hurt by the very ideology that their ancestors created. Editors Ann Todd Jealous and Caroline T. Haskell, both experienced psychotherapists skilled at facilitating dialogue about racial issues, are cognizant of the challenges that even the thought of such conversations often presents. Their book is based on the premise that for positive and lasting change to occur, hearts as well as minds must be opened.

Part thesis, part memoir, and part poetry, this book is unlike any other therapeutic text. Psychotherapist and writer Foluke Taylor explores how the centering of Black women’s experiences in therapeutic scholarship allows for greater space―space for wandering, for wondering, and for deepening narratives―in every therapeutic relationship.

In 1963, a female student was attending a lecture given by Nobel Prize winner James Watson, then tenured at Harvard. At nineteen, she was struggling to define her future. She had given herself just ten years to fulfill her professional ambitions before starting the family she was expected to have. For women at that time, a future on the usual path of academic science was unimaginable—but during that lecture, young Nancy Hopkins fell in love with the promise of genetics. Confidently believing science to be a pure meritocracy, she embarked on a career.
