Social Justice from Outside the Walls: Catholic Women in Memphis, 1950¿1970 by Ann Youngblood Mulhearn examines the intersections of faith, race, and gender within the social justice movements in twentieth-century Memphis, Tennessee. Weaving together the biographies of six Catholic women and drawing upon the activists¿ own published writing and personal interviews, this book disrupts assumptions that racial and social justice was primarily a Protestant concern. Motivated by the tenets of their Catholic faith, these women, both Black and White, used existing social, political, and religious organizations to further the causes of racial and social justice. When these structures were not available, the women created them, transforming traditional women¿s organizations into vehicles of social and political activism. As a small representation of progressive Catholics active in the South in the time period, these six Catholic women redefined their perceptions and expectations of themselves both as women and Catholics. In doing so, they challenged contemporary gender norms as well as the patriarchal hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Their intertwined stories highlight the significant contributions made by Catholics and Catholic theology to the civil rights movement on the local level and further refine our understanding of larger national movements.

Arts and Politics of the Situationist International contextualizes the SI within a comprehensive aesthetic and theoretical framework that integrates its concepts and practical activities with previous critical thinkers, political activists, artists, and poets. The SI belongs to a history of radical gestures and cultural practices concerned with re-imagining everyday life and overcoming alienation. This book regards the SI as a critical interdisciplinary endeavor in the history of consciousness, particularly as a moment in an ongoing western-European trajectory of aesthetic negation dating back to the early nineteenth century. The chapters search for origins of the SI in French Symbolist poetry, Dada and Surrealism, Hegelian-Marxism, and Lefebvrian social theory in an effort to provide a clearly-defined ';something' out of which the SI developed as an increasingly radical collective of artists, writers, and theorists.
