Religious, Feminist, Activist

Cosmologies of Interconnection

By: Laurel Zwissler

In Religious, Feminist, Activist, Laurel Zwissler investigates the political and religious identities of women who understand their social-justice activism as religiously motivated. Placing these women in historical context as faith-based activists for social change, this book discusses what their activities reveal about the public significance of religion in the pluralistic context of North America and in our increasingly globalized world. Zwissler’s ethnographic interviews with feminist Catholics, Pagans, and United Church Protestants reveal radically different views of religious and political expression and illuminate how individual women and their communities negotiate issues of personal identity, spirituality, and political responsibility. Political activists of faith recount adventurous tales of run-ins with police, agonizing moments of fear and powerlessness in the face of global inequality, touching moments of community support, and successful projects that improve the lives of others. Religious, Feminist, Activist combines religion, politics, and globalization—subjects frequently discussed in macro terms—with individual personalities and intimate stories to provide a fresh perspective on what it means to be religiously and politically engaged. Zwissler also provides an insightful investigation into how religion and politics intersect for women on the political left.

The Legal Writing Handbook

Practice Book

By: Anne Enquist,Laurel Currie Oates,Kelly Kunsch

Its effective process approach is the secret to "The Legal Writing Handbook's" enduring popularity. By teaching students to progress through necessary stages -- pre-writing, drafting, editing, to final draft -- the authors lead them, step by careful step, to a mastery of skills that they will use throughout their careers. Shortened and tightened, but just as effective... With streamlined, accessible material, the book helps students become effective researchers and writers. The first part of the book covers the basics of the legal system -- analyzing statutes and cases, and supplies chapters on writing the objective memorandum and trial and appellate briefs. The second part of the book offers resources to help students become effective researchers and writers. The Legal Writing Handbook brings together the three major components of effective legal writing -- research, analysis, and writing -- and discuss each from the most basic level to more sophisticated techniques.
