Gender and Political Economy: Incorporating Diversity into Theory and Policy

This collection of essays explores feminist political economy in two parts titled “Dissolving Dichotomies: New Approaches to Social Reproduction and Labor Supply” and “Engendering Production: The Social Construction of Low-Wage Labor Markets.” Topics discussed include reformulations of economic theory; historical and empirical research on the economic roles and status of women and people of color; and proposals for broadening the public policy agenda. 

  

 
A Companion to African-American Studies
This collection of essays takes a look at the history and future of African American studies, written by expert contributors in the very same field of study. Also included is a series of essays by some of the people who helped establish African American studies as an academic discipline.  

How to Read Shakespeare
This excellent book is for anyone who has ever felt that Shakespeare is boring or too difficult to understand. Taking a creative approach to Shakespeare’s works, this text shows readers how to read Shakespeare’s plays without worrying about the “academic” interpretation. Chapters include discussions on dramatic conventions, the poetry of the theater, characters, structure and dramatic scene, and much more. 

Queer Iberia: Sexualities, Cultures, and Crossings from the Middles Ages to the Renaissance
Moors, Jews, martyred saints, cross-dressers, kings, and queens are some of the many people that make up this exploration of sexual diversity in 10th to 16th century Iberia in this collection of essays. The source material used is just as diverse as the people discussed – the martyrdom of Pelagius, the exploits of the transgendered Catalina de Erauso, archival evidence of sexual otherness, and alternative readings of canonical texts. Anyone interested in medieval, cultural, Hispanic, gender, and gay and lesbian studies will find this book useful and enlightening.  


These books and many more are available in the UNT Dallas Library.
