Even feminist writers or researchers on the body have found remarkably little to say about body hair, usually ignoring it completely. It would appear that the only texts to elaborate on body hair are guides on how to remove it, medical texts on 'hirsutism', or fetishistic pornography on 'hairy' women. The last taboo also questions how and why any particular issue can become defined as 'self-evidently' too silly or too mad to write about. 606 $aBody image in women 606 $aHair$xSocial aspects 610 $aWestern culture. 610 $abeautification. 610 $abody hair. 610 $afemininity. 610 $afetishistic pornography. 610 $ahair removal. 610 $ahairy women. 610 $ahirsutism. 610 $anatural female body. 610 $awomen. 615 0$aBody image in women. 615 0$aHair$xSocial aspects. 676 $a305.4 676 $a306.4613 701 $aLesnik-Oberstein$b Kari?n$0852122 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791949703321 996 $aThe last taboo$93694653 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04350nam 2200853 450 001 9910797176703321 005 20231206224554.0 010 $a0-88755-482-2 010 $a0-88755-484-9 024 7 $a10.1515/9780887554841 035 $a(CKB)3710000000401948 035 $a(EBL)3297847 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001541529 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11879978 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001541529 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11535592 035 $a(PQKB)10349802 035 $a(CEL)467325 035 $a(OCoLC)913977637 035 $a(CaBNVSL)kck00235726 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4828161 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11368063 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL827945 035 $a(OCoLC)900308124 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/2s0k00 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4828161 035 $a(DE-B1597)664705 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780887554841 035 $a(PPN)252621018 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3297847 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000401948 100 $a20170418h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aTransnational radicals $eItalian anarchists in Canada and the U.S., 1915-1940 /$fTravis Tomchuk 210 1$aWinnipeg, Manitoba :$cUniversity of Manitoba Press,$d2015. 210 4$d©2015 215 $a1 online resource (273 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in Immigration and Culture ;$v13 311 $a0-88755-773-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Chapter 1 Anarchism and the Italian Tradition -- Chapter 2 Migrant Anarchists -- Chapter 3 Anarchist Culture -- Chapter 4 Anarchist Identity Formation -- Chapter 5 Factional Disputes -- Chapter 6 Deportation Struggles -- Conclusion. 330 $aItalian anarchism emerged in the latter half of the nineteenth century, during that country's long and bloody unification. Often facing economic hardship and political persecution, many of Italy's anarchists migrated to North America. Wherever Italian anarchists settled they published journals, engaged in labour and political activism, and attempted to re-create the radical culture of their homeland. Transnational Radicals examines the transnational anarchist movement that existed in Canada and the United States between 1915 and 1940. Against a backdrop of brutal and open class war-with governments calling upon militias to suppress strikes, radicals thrown in jail for publicly speaking against capitalism and the church, and those of foreign birth being deported and even executed for political activities-Italian anarchism was successfully transplanted. Transnationalism made it more difficult for states to destroy groups spread across wide geographical spaces. In Italy and abroad the strong anarchist identity informed by class, ethnicity, and gender reinforced movement values, promoted movement expansion, and assisted mobilization during times of crisis. In Transnational Radicals, Tomchuk makes use of Italian government security files and Italian-language anarchist newspapers to reconstruct a vibrant and little-studied political movement during a tumultuous period of modern North American history. 410 0$aStudies in immigration and culture ;$v13. 606 $aAnarchism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAnarchism$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAnarchists$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAnarchists$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aItalians$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aItalians$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTransnationalism$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAnarchism in Italy, Canada, United States. 610 $aAnarchism. 610 $aCanadian History. 615 0$aAnarchism$xHistory 615 0$aAnarchism$xHistory 615 0$aAnarchists$xHistory 615 0$aAnarchists$xHistory 615 0$aItalians$xHistory 615 0$aItalians$xHistory 615 0$aTransnationalism$xHistory 676 $a335.830973 700 $aTomchuk$b Travis$01477621 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797176703321 996 $aTransnational radicals$93692872 997 $aUNINA
