{"product_id":"power-in-struggle-davina-cooper-9780814715260","title":"Power in Struggle: Feminism, Sexuality and the State","description":"\u003cp\u003eThose seeking social change confront the centrality of power on a daily basis. What precisely is power and how does it manifest itself? And how are radical and progressive strategies shaped by the ways in which we conceptualize it? \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on feminist, poststructuralist, and Marxist theory, Davina Cooper develops an innovative framework for understanding power relations in forms as diverse as reproductive technology, queer activism, municipal politics, and the regulation of lesbian reproduction. \u003ci\u003ePower in Struggle\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relationship between power, sexuality, and the state and ultimately provides a radical re-thinking of these concepts and their interactions. Sexual politics, Cooper posits, must recognize the sexualization of everyday life and should not be exclusively the concern of a young, educated elite, nor should sex be shuttered as a private affair.\u003cbr\u003e Concluding with an important and original discussion of how an ethics of empowerment can inform political strategy, Power in Struggle is a must-read for activists, scholars, and lawyers interested in understanding the role of power in the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Davina Cooper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814715265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814715260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.44w x 0.65d","brand":"Davina Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435703316735,"sku":"9780814715260","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb78af5c-23d5-485b-a113-e74b53597ee7.jpg?v=1777152140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-in-struggle-davina-cooper-9780814715260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
