Share the joys and struggles of lesbians in this bicultural nation! This powerful collection presents landmark original research into the history, literature, and sociology of lesbians in Aotearoa/New Zealand from that nation's best-known scholars and writers. A nation with two names, two distinct cultural traditions, two large islands, and two official languages, Aotearoa/New Zealand brings together the colonized and the descendants of the colonizers. In the ongoing cultural dialogue that results, fresh and exciting ideas are being introduced by a multiplicity of voices. Lesbian Studies in Aotearoa/New Zealand is the first internationally published collection of academic articles on lesbian studies from this nation. Lesbian Studies in Aotearoa/New Zealand begins with a major paradigm shift in the islands’mythic love story. Ngahuia Te Awekotuku retells the legend of an aristocratic Maori woman who, against all custom, chose her own husband. The author, a descendant of the famous couple, through historical research unearthed the homoerotic subtext censored by the white nineteenth-century writer who sentimentalized it into a European romance. This revisioning anticipates the historical, literary, and social research that follows. Ranging from literature to law, the essays demonstrate the breadth of erudition of scholars from both Maori and Pakeha (European) traditions, including essays discussing: the re-telling of a traditional Maori story several historical studies of women who passed as men in order to marry and work as they pleased reclaiming the work and lives of ”lost lesbians” in the arts, including Ngaio Marsh and Frances Mary Hodgkins the effects of globalization and economic change on lesbians the implications of legal discrimination the psychological and social implications of lesbian mothers having sons an empirical study of the effects of coming out on women's health a philosophical look at ways to reconcile lesbian sexuality and Christianity The historical and contemporary research gathered in Lesbian Studies in Aotearoa/New Zealand provides a new perspective from which to view both lesbian cultures and local prescriptive ideologies about sexualities.

Lesbians in East Asia By:Julie Garrison A Published on 2013-01-11 by Routledge ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Discover the courageous, vibrant similarities and differences of lesbians in East Asia How are same-sex relationships similar or different in the cultures of East Asia? “Lesbians” in East Asia: Diversity, Identities, and Resistance is a unique examination of research and vital issues involving lesbians and lesbianism in East Asia, using perspectives by academics and activists who typically are rarely published in English. Contributing experts from Hong Kong, mainland China, Japan, and Korea discuss a variety of topics, including solidarity and conflicts between lesbians and feminists, identities and identity politics, lesbian lives and families, and representation in mainstream culture. Asia, because of its inherent language and cultural differences from Western society, is a location of a vast unrealized fount of knowledge about same-sex relationships and the societies in which they interac...

Obtain Lesbian Communities

Lesbian Communities By:Esther D. Rothblum,Penny Sablove Published on 2005 by Psychology Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) “I had just witnessed women who shingled their own roofs, drove eighteen-wheeler trucks, and built their own houses—as well as kept them clean and cooked a damn good meal. On women's land I am a first-class citizen, I'm treated as an equal. I now see the world with righteous anger and hope. Living in womyn's community has provided that lens for me.” —Elizabeth Sturrus, third wave feminist One of the driving forces in the lives of many lesbians is the search for community in a society that favors heterosexuality and often turns a cold shoulder toward women who love women. Lesbian Communities: Festivals, RVs, and the Internet takes you inside flourishing lesbian communities—physical, spiritual, and virtual (online)—that provide practical help, emotional support, and much-needed outlets for creative expression. Exploring communities functioning in harmony with general...
