The Inmate Prison Experience by Craig Hemmens (Paperback - Illustrated)

This book deals with a subject that is most timely-the United States today incarcerates more people than any other industrialized country in the world. The incarceration rate is growing rapidly, and minorities are disproportionately represented among correctional populations. This book provides a comprehensive examination of who the inmates are and what prison does to them, and places it in a historical context with the use of both recent and older research on the subject.

This collection of articles deals with one component of corrections-the inmate prison experience. By "inmate prison experience" the authors mean the impact of prison on inmates. How does living in prison affect people? This book is intended to serve as a reader for courses in corrections. It is comprised of selected articles, all of which focus on how inmates adjust to prison, and the factors, which influence this adjustment.

A History of Gender in America by Sylvia D. Hoffert (Paperback - Illustrated)

A History of Gender in America introduces students to the concept of gender and the way that ideas about masculinity and femininity have been defined and contested from the colonial period through the twentieth century in the United States. It allows students to reflectively analyze and develop a sophisticated and complex picture not only of how men and women in the past have constructed their personal identities and conducted their lives, but also how the power to do so has been negotiated and distributed.

Combining introductory essays that survey the literature on the history of gender, as well as documents, articles, study questions, and bibliographies, a mixture of chronological and topical chapters offers teachers the material they need to explore with their students such questions as:

  • How does gender contribute to the way historical knowledge is organized and presented?
  • What factors have been most important in determining how gender is constructed in any particular period in American history?
  • Whose interests do gender conventions serve?
  • What causes ideas about gender to change?
  • How do those changes take place?
  • What are the results of those changes?
  • What influence do factors like race, class, ethnicity, sexual preference, and geographical location have on the construction of gender?
  • How do men and women solve problems in their everyday lives using culturally constructed notions of gender?

The Lesbian History Sourcebook by Alison Oram (Paperback - Routledge)

Covering a 100 year period, this book looks at women who loved other women, had sex with other women, who cross-dressed and who resisted heterosexuality. It is a search for lesbianism in the past, centering on women's sexual practices and feelings and their deviance from gender role norms of femininity.
Lesbian History is based on original and contemporary sources, both private and those of public concern including legal cases and journalism. They range from official government publications, professional journals and newspapers to fiction, poetry, personal papers and ephemera. Here is an essential overview of lesbians in history from the end of the nineteenth century through the 1970s when the women's liberation movement began to take hold Lesbian History is a welcome resource that fills the gap in the existing literature.
