  • Towards Strategic Sisterhood on Balanced Terms: Recognition, Participation, Inclusion and Solidarity

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    ‘The women’s movement’ has never been a unified movement, be it at transnational, national, regional or local levels of mobilisation and activism, as women’s interests have diverged and women have mobilised within different groups and organisations emphasising a plethora of issues, strategies and claims. The diversity of women’s movements offers women of various backgrounds and locations a sense of belonging as well as political representation th…

  • Political Opportunities and Violence against Women

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    How have women’s movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom attempted to influence gender policy, and how have they succeeded? The citation above is one example of a ‘verdict’, a conditionally excited opinion. In order to grasp how women’s movement actors perceive and assess the policy influence of their activism, we have been inspired by approaches that emphasise political institutions, framing processes and discourses (McAdam et al. 1996…

  • Seeking Policy Impact

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    In this chapter we explore women’s movements’ efforts to change public policies in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom. Influencing government is not necessarily women’s organisations’ most urgent raison d’être,1 and yet, to challenge public policy is sometimes central to their aims. This was the case after the fall of Franco in 1975, when the feminist movements in Spain mobilised to re-establish women’s autonomy and rights in private and public…

  • Citizenship, Recognition and Justice

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    Modern democracies are based on the principle of self-determination, which implies that all citizens are entitled to have a voice, ‘to not only be subject but the author of its laws’ (Benhabib 2004: 20). The right to have a voice does not, however, necessarily imply equal rights in practice, nor does citizenship include all adults. Women’s rights are restricted in various ways, and so are the citizenship rights of refugees, asylum seekers, indige…

  • Women’s Movements, Gender Equality, Citizenship and Ethnic Diversity in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    This book examines how relations between ethnic ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ women’s organisations1 in contemporary women’s movements, as well as relations between women’s movements and governments in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom, have developed and are being talked about by women’s movement activists. Our focus on these relations originates from an interest in the mobilisation of white, Black, migrant, indigenous, national and ethnic minori…

  • Women’s Movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    Due to their origin in different historical and socio-political contexts, women’s movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom vary in terms of the timing of their emergence, the issues they have focused on, the timing of their claims-making, their capability to impact upon policymaking and their access to women’s and gender policy agencies. At the same time, women’s movements in these three countries share several characteristics, such as t…

  • Conclusion

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    Feminist theories of citizenship consider recognition, participation, inclusion and belonging as important aspects of citizenship practices. Women’s movements themselves provide arenas in which citizenship is lived and negotiated, and the demands voiced by women’s movements involve struggles over understandings and practices of citizenship. In this book we have examined practiced, or lived, citizenship in two contexts: firstly, within women’s mov…

  • Researching Women’s Movements

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen et al.•CHAPTER•Majority-Minority Relations in…•2012

    This book explores the demands and practices which have emerged from ‘second wave’ women’s movements from the late 1960s and onwards by focusing on relations between majoritised and minoritised women’s movement organisations, and on relations between women’s movement organisations and the state. We have chosen Spain, Norway and the United Kingdom — countries with very different migration histories and gender regimes — as empirical contexts for ou…

    In the risk society thesis, most notably forwarded by Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens, the labour market plays a key role in individualization processes. While for previous generations, family and personal networks, and also government institutions, were important in providing access to and mobility within the labour market, cohorts entering the labour market since the 1970s and onwards are perceived to be living in a modern 'risk regime', requir…

    The focus of this themed section is on identifying gaps in anti-poverty policy towards children and young people. The idea to address this question originated at the conference ‘A Fairer Society? A Review of Policies for Vulnerable Groups’ organised by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) at Loughborough University in September 2006. The section offers a combination of papers from the conference (Bradshaw and Richardson; Smith; Sutton)…

  • Religion, Citizenship and Participation: A Case Study of Immigrant Muslim Women in Norwegian Mosques

    This article analyses the increasing participation of Muslim women in mosques in Norway in light of current discourses on citizenship, gender and migration. It discusses how various processes in the mosques can be interpreted as contradictory and complex by sometimes increasing the participation of women and promoting liberation, while at other times constraining women'ss activities through various forms of discipline and control. Women are vital…

  • Religion og deltakelse: Moskeen som kjønnet arena

    Open Access•Line Nyhagen Predelli, Line Nyhagen•ARTICLE•Kvinder Køn & Forskning•2005

    The article discusses the participation of immigrant Muslim women in mosques in Oslo. Muslim women have to relate to a religiously given patriarchal structure, but are also actors that can make choices and take advantage of possibilities that challenge patriarchal gender regimes. At times, complex and contradictory processes increase the participation of women, while at other times they constrain women’s activities through various forms of discip…

Religion, family, and work are important sites for the formation, negotiation, and change of gender relations. The article therefore discusses the views and experiences of immigrant Muslim women concerning wife-husband relations and participation in the labor market. Four analytical types of views t…

    The article uses the case of a major state‐sponsored cultural policy institution in Sweden, the Foundation Culture of the Future (Stiftelsen framtidens kultur), to show how tension between institutional autonomy and state dependence can be dealt with creatively by foundations seeking both autonomy and legitimacy from the state and other actors. The article argues that that the Foundation (FCF) has developed its operations within a field of tensio…

    This article explores how nineteenth-century Protestant women missionaries utilized categories of morality and religion, gender, sexuality, race, and class in an effort to elevate the status of "heathen" women through exporting a Western notion of women's domesticity.
