Political institutions profoundly shape political life and are also gendered. This groundbreaking collection synthesises new institutionalism and gendered analysis using a new approach - feminist institutionalism - in order to answer crucial questions about power inequalities, mechanisms of continuity, and the gendered limits of change.

This book challenges
the prevailing view that local authorities are irrelevant in immigration
policy-making. Presenting an in-depth ethnographic study of the recent
implementation of local ‘diversity policies’ in the Netherlands, Belgium and
United Kingdom, it identifies a new politics of difference, characterized by a
‘paradigmatic pragmatism’. Building on extensive fieldwork in Amsterdam,
Antwerp and Leeds, the author shows that, rather than simply replacing an
earlier politics of difference, local diversity policies combine ideals of
multiculturalism, assimilation and diversity. She links these findings to the
ongoing modernization and diversification of municipal authorities, and the
impact of this transformation on the profile of the bureaucrats and their
implementation of diversity policies. This thought-provoking work will appeal
to students, researchers and practitioners engaged in the fields of
immigration, diversity and multiculturalism. <

This book provides wide-ranging commentary on depictions of the black male in mainstream cinema. O’Brien explores the extent to which counter-representations of black masculinity have been achieved within a predominately white industry, with an emphasis on agency, the negotiation and malleability of racial status, and the inherent instability of imposed racial categories. Focusing on American and European cinema, the chapters highlight actors (Woody Strode, Noble Johnson, Eddie Anderson, Will Smith), genres (jungle pictures, westerns, science fiction) and franchises (Tarzan, James Bond) underrepresented in previous critical and scholarly commentary in the field. The author argues that although the characters and performances generated in these areas invoke popular genre types, they display complexity, diversity and ambiguity, exhibiting aspects that are positive, progressive and subversive. This book will appeal to both the academic and the general reader interested in film, race, gender and colonial issues.
