 | | | | Women at the Wheel: A Century of Buying, Driving, and Fixing Cars "Now I understand why I so often end up in the passenger seat! Katherine Parkin has convinced me that driving—and all that surrounds it—is one of the most gendered experiences in American history. Women at the Wheel reads like a romp through American popular culture, but Parkin's claims are well worth taking seriously."—Beth Bailey, author of Sex in the Heartland "Buying, driving, and fixing cars has always been a highly gendered experience, as Katherine Parkin shows in this engaging and richly researched narrative. But when the focus is shifted from an experience overwhelmingly... |

| Philosophy of Cruelty "Baruchello's Philosophy of Cruelty, the second collection of his essays, turns a difficult and emotionally charged topic into a surprisingly informative and enlightening read. Covering the history of Western philosophy's treatment of cruelty as a topic, yet relating every point to present-day occasions of violence and injustice, this book is a touchstone for any discussion of cruelty as a philosophical theme. It pulls no punches, yet it leaves you standing taller." (Dr. B. Myers) (cf. http://www.brendanmyers.net/nwpbooks/baruchello2.html) |

| Power, Ideology, Politics and the Revolutionary Subject The synthesis of different modalities of power and ideological frameworks has ensured an overpowering and suffocating interpellation of the subject.

The former is the interpellated human-animal of the world of domestication... |

| "We're Not Just Sandwiches": Europe, Nation, and Feminist (Im)Possibilities on Ukraine's Maidan This article discusses Ukrainian feminists' attempts to "vernacularize" feminism, to use Sally Engle Merry's term, in the context of the 2013–14 mass mobilizations in Ukraine. Based on extensive participant observation during the entire span of the protests as well as on interviews with feminist activists, I suggest that feminists' attempts to intervene in the mobilizations faced major challenges because of their consistent marginalization in Ukrainian political society since independence in 1991. While these protests began in order to show support for the idea of Ukraine as part of Europe,... |
