"Wat valt er onder het begrip ‘religie’? Wanneer is een uiting ‘haatzaaien’? Wordt het verspreiden van ‘nepnieuws’ beschermd door de vrijheid van meningsuiting? Omvat het recht op leven ook het recht op maatregelen tegen klimaatverandering? Steeds vaker doen mensen een beroep op fundamentele rechten om uiteenlopende aanspraken te onderbouwen. Voorbeelden zijn de claims tegen de Staat in de klimaatzaken, de pleidooien voor erkenning van het recht op een eigen identiteit en het beroep op het recht op lichamelijke integriteit door tegenstanders van verplichte vaccinaties. Hoe ver mag de rechter gaan in het bepalen van de reikwijdte van fundamentele rechten? Zou de rechter alle wetgeving aan de Grondwet moeten kunnen toetsen? Hoe vermijdt hij dat hij daarbij het terrein van de politiek betreedt? Gaat de rechter in sommige gevallen te ver, of juist nog niet ver genoeg? Vanuit diverse perspectieven op fundamentele rechten en de rol van de rechter bieden de bijdragen aan deze bundel inzichten die uitnodigen tot nadere reflectie."--

Erotic Resistance celebrates the erotic performance cultures that have shaped San Francisco. It preserves the memory of the city's bohemian past and its essential role in the development of American adult entertainment by highlighting the contributions of women of color, queer women, and trans women who were instrumental in the city's labor history, as well as its LGBT and sex workers' rights movements. In the 1960s, topless entertainment became legal in the city for the first time in the US, though cross-dressing continued to be criminalized. In the 1990s, stripper-artist-activists led the first successful class action lawsuits and efforts to unionize. Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa uses visual and performance analysis, historiography, and ethnographic research, including participant observation as both performer and spectator and interviews with legendary burlesquers and strippers, to share this remarkable story.

"Indigenous Peoples and Borders considers the problem of state borders, which are frequently legacies of colonialism, and their impact on Indigenous Peoples around the world. Indigenous lands are frequently divided by such borders creating difficulties for their Native inhabitants that were until recently largely disregarded by international law and international relations scholars. The contributors, including many Indigenous rights practitioners, take up issues of sovereignty, power, globalization, economic integration, and self-determination in areas from Bangladesh to the Russian Arctic to Mexico. The collection takes a comparative, multidisciplinary, and global approach showing the ways Indigenous Peoples are challenging and working around borders, even as they are constrained by them"--

In her lifetime, African American composer Margaret Bonds was classical music's most intrepid social-justice activist. Furthermore, her Montgomery Variations (1964) and setting of W.E.B. Du Bois's iconic Civil Rights Credo (1965-67) were the musical summits of her activism. These works fell into obscurity after Bonds's death, but were recovered and published in 2020. Since widely performed, they are finally gaining a recognition long denied. This incisive book situates The Montgomery Variations and Credo in their political and biographical contexts, providing an interdisciplinary exploration that brings notables including Harry Burleigh, W.E.B. and Shirley Graham Du Bois, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abbie Mitchell, Ned Rorem, and - especially - Langston Hughes into the works' collective ambit. The resulting brief, but instructive, appraisal introduces readers to two masterworks whose recovery is a modern musical milestone - and reveals their message to be one that, though born in the mid-twentieth century, speaks directly to our own time.
