About this product

Product Information

Many of us have grown up with the language of civil rights, yet rarely consider how the construction of civil rights claims affects those who are trying to attain them. Diane Miller examines arguments lesbians and gay men make for civil rights, revealing the ways these arguments are both progressive--in terms of helping to win court cases seeking basic human rights--and limiting--in terms of framing representations of gay men and lesbians. Miller incorporates case studies of lesbians in the military and in politics into her argument. She discusses in detail the experiences of Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer, who was dishonorably discharged from the National Guard after 27 years of service when she revealed that she was a lesbian, and Roberta Achtenberg, who was nominated by Clinton for the job of Assistant Director of Housing and Urban Development and became the first gay or lesbian to face the confirmation process. Drawing on these cases and their outcomes, Miller evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of privileging civil rights strategies in the struggle for gay and lesbian rights.

Reviews
("Remarkable in its geographic reach and analytical reach, this book offers timely food for thought to social scientists and policy makers interested in explaining the relative success and decline of societies in the age of neoliberalism." )-(Michele Lamont),(author of How Professors Think: Inside the Curious World of Academic Judgment ), "This book makes important contributions to Women's Studies and Speech Communication and deserves our critical attention." - Women's Studies in Communication, "This book makes important contributions to Women's Studies and Speech Communication and deserves our critical attention."-- Women's Studies in Communication, "This book makes important contributions to Women's Studies and Speech Communication and deserves our critical attention." -Women's Studies in Communication, This book makes important contributions to Women's Studies and Speech Communication and deserves our critical attention., ("Who won and who lost in the global economic crisis that has dominated the news in the last two years? Aftermath provides surprising and much-needed critical analyses of this question. Supposedly robust, rich democracies have floundered badly, while the growth rates of many developing nations -- from Brazil to Turkey -- have been impressive. Distinguished economists, sociologists, and political scientists take to this crucial task with insight based on new empirical investigations that should be read by anyone who wants to understand where we are headed in the future." )-(Katherine S. Newman),(author of The Accordion Family: Globalization Reshapes the Private World ), "This book makes important contributions to Women's Studies and Speech Communication and deserves our critical attention." - Women's Studies in Communication ,, ("Few issues facing today's world are as important as understanding the new global economic crises--in their unity and plurality. This penetrating collection of essays on the global economic crises of our times throws light into a dark tunnel and enables us to understand better the world we live in and how it needs to be transformed." )-(Seyla Benhabib),( Another Cosmopolitanism )
