  Is male 'supremachism' really over? The pages you are holding in your hands sow doubts on the common belief that the governance of 'the macho' came to its end. As the proverb confirms, 'the old dies hard', despite the yet-to-improve individual and institutional efforts to achieve gender equality. With the serious tone this capital issue requires, the author debunks the myth of male supremacism as a phenomenon from a past and raises awareness of the subliminal survival of the supremachist ideological apparatus. Subtlety reveals as a key factor for the survival of subliminal supremachist campaigns, which threatens a promising future of non-discrimination. Essentially, democratic citizenship must pose itself a crucial question: Are current Western societies' concessions to feminism genuine or a cover by supremachism to survive in an ideologically volatile world?

  A thoughtful, reflective narrative of a reluctant soldier that captures the rhythms of life in war as well as the boredom and chaos of Vietnam.   At the height of the Vietnam War, Charles Carr left graduate school to serve in the army in Southeast Asia, knowing that if he didn’t, another man would go—and possibly die—in his place. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 47th Infantry (Mechanized) in the northern Mekong Delta for a tour of forcing himself through rice paddies and jungles all day and then setting ambushes at night. He concluded his tour with a stint at battalion headquarters. More than just a war memoir, this is the story of one soldier trying to find his way in uncertain times—and to survive his year in Vietnam.

  The Autists - Women on the Spectrum

  An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. 
   
   
   
  Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained undiagnosed. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts—talented and socially awkward. 
   
   
   
  Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes? 
   
   
   
  In The Autists, Clara Törnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens—what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take center stage.
