Title : Improper Advances : Rape and Heterosexual Conflict in Ontario, 1880-1929 Material Type: printed text Authors: Karen Dubinsky, Author Publisher: University of Chicago Press Publication Date: 1993 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-226-16754-1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Sexual Assault, violence and healing Keywords: rape, sexual assault, Ontario, Canada. Abstract: "Why do men rape women? This is a question for which there are many political, psychological, and sociological answers, but few historical ones. Improper Advances is one of the first books to explore the history of sexual violence in any country. A study of women, men, and sexual crime in rural and northern Ontario, it expands the terms of current debates about sexuality and sexual violence.
Karen Dubinsky relies on criminal case files, a revealing but largely untapped source for social historians, to retell individual stories of sexual danger—crimes such as rape, abortion, seduction, murder, and infanticide. Her research supports many feminist analyses of sexual violence: that crimes are expressions of power, that courts are prejudiced by the victim's background, and that most assaults occur within the victims' homes and communities.
Dubinsky distinguishes herself from most feminist scholars, however, by refusing to view women solely as victims and sex as a tool of oppression. She finds that these women actively sought and took pleasure in sexuality, but they distinguished between wanted and unwanted sexual encounters and attempted to punish coercive sex despite obstacles in the court system and the community.
Confronting a number of key theoretical and historiographic controversies, including recent debates over sexuality in feminist theory and politics, she challenges current thinking on the history of women, gender, and sexuality" (From the back cover).Improper Advances : Rape and Heterosexual Conflict in Ontario, 1880-1929 [printed text] / Karen Dubinsky, Author . - [S.l.] : University of Chicago Press, 1993.

Title : Criminal Intimacy : Prison and the Uneven History of Modern American Sexuality Material Type: printed text Authors: Regina. Kunzel, Author Publisher: University of Chicago Press Publication Date: 2010 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-226-46227-1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Prisons and Criminalization Abstract: Sex is usually assumed to be a closely guarded secret of prison life. But it has long been the subject of intense scrutiny by both prison administrators and reformers?as well as a source of fascination and anxiety for the American public. Historically, sex behind bars has evoked radically different responses from professionals and the public alike. In Criminal Intimacy, Regina Kunzel tracks these varying interpretations and reveals their foundational influence on modern thinking about sexuality and identity.
Historians have held the fusion of sexual desire and identity to be the defining marker of sexual modernity, but sex behind bars, often involving otherwise heterosexual prisoners, calls those assumptions into question. By exploring the sexual lives of prisoners and the sexual culture of prisons over the past two centuries?along with the impact of a range of issues, including race, class, and gender; sexual violence; prisoners? rights activism; and the HIV epidemic?Kunzel discovers a world whose surprising plurality and mutability reveals the fissures and fault lines beneath modern sexuality itself.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, including physicians, psychiatrists, sociologists, correctional administrators, journalists, and prisoners themselves?as well as depictions of prison life in popular culture?Kunzel argues for the importance of the prison to the history of sexuality and for the centrality of ideas about sex and sexuality to the modern prison. In the process, she deepens and complicates our understanding of sexuality in America.

Title : The Structure of the Scientific Revolutions Material Type: printed text Authors: Thomas S. Kuhn, Author Publisher: University of Chicago Press Publication Date: 1996 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-226-45808-3 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Science and Technology Abstract: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. Its author, Thomas S. Kuhn, wastes little time on demolishing the logical empiricist view of science as an objective progression toward the truth. Instead he erects from ground up a structure in which science is seen to be heavily influenced by nonrational procedures, and in which new theories are viewed as being more complex than those they usurp but not as standing any closer to the truth. Science is not the steady, cumulative acquisition of knowledge that is portrayed in the textbooks. Rather, it is a series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions, in each of which one conceptual world view is replaced by another.

Title : American Labor Material Type: printed text Authors: Henry Pelling, Author Publisher: University of Chicago Press Publication Date: 1960 Series: The Chicago History of American Civilization ISBN (or other code): LabPel1960 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Labour, Unionism, Working-Class Keywords: American Labor, America, Labour, Labor, History Abstract: "This highly readable and authoritative narrative history of labor in the United States examines three hundred years of Americans at work and attempts to discover what is uniquely "American" about our labor experience and why that experience has been woven inseparably into the whole story of American exceptionalism. From the days when bonded servants and free craftsmen helped settle the Colonies, through the turning point of post-Civil War industrialization, past all the crucial stages of labor unionism up to the present, American workers have been united in a seemingly irresistible quest for an American standard of living. Today, when American workers enjoy the highest wages in the world, it seems especially appropriate to learn how they pursued and realized that quest."
