Sorting Out Voices on Women’s Rights in Morocco

From the Article: In this chapter, I intend to expand on the theme of developing “our listening capacity, to be sure that we hear everything” in an attempt to avoid perpetuating the stereotype of the passive, victimized Third World woman whose only hope of liberation is through the consciousness raising and activist efforts of Western feminists. Much of the current writing on human rights and women’s rights in North Africa and the Middle East suggests that world-wide endorsement of such principles and platforms is most likely to be successful if the people to whom they apply feel a sense of ownership in their creation. The experience of colonialism and neo-colonialism in this region has been a powerful shaper of a social memory that serves as a critical, interpretive lens for assessing the value and applicability of recent international human rights and feminist agendas. While it is true that Africans themselves (as well as members of other Third World constituencies) have engaged in theorizing and executing policies concerning women’s human rights, their voices have not been given equal weight in international forums that address these issues (Gathii and Nyamu 1996: 295; Oloka-Onyango and Tamale 1995: 701). The consequence of such an imbalance has been a perpetuation of international hierarchies of power that contribute to the on-going polarization of the West and the Third World and a limiting of the definition and scope of struggles perceived to fall within the purview of women’s human rights (Gathii and Nyamu 1996: 294)

Just Past Six

You long to be a big boy, Jerry? Want to be like Uncle John, and shoulder guns instead of sticks and know what\u27s wrong with all the world and how the troubles should be fixed? I see. You don\u27t like being just past six. You want to stride with head thrown back and shoulders square. You\u27d wear big boots and roar and swear

Supply Chain Management Thesis Internship – [The Clorox Company]

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) play an essential part in our lives. There are countless stock keeping units that have unique codes internally at a company as well externally for their customers. These companies sell their product into large retailers and manage their supply chain network for multiple brands in their portfolios. I had the opportunity to not only learn how a global CPG company operates their supply chain every day, but to work on the supply chain for the largest customer account. Last summer, I was a Product Supply Operations intern with The Clorox Company in Bentonville, Arkansas. My thesis will detail my internship experience and key learnings

A study of organisms in soil samples from southern Indiana which inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the numbers and kinds of organisms - bacteria, actinomycetes, or fungi - found in certain soils which inhibit the growth of two test organisms. Soil samples collected from beneath different species of trees in wooded areas were used to ascertain what correlation there might be between the number and kind of inhibitors found and the kind of soil from which they were isolated

A Newspaper Office

The long table down the center of the room which was devoted to the whirlpool of activity attending the publishing of a high school paper seemed to be the center of all this activity

Pragmatists And High School Latin

Are Latin teachers and Latin texts justified in telling students that the study of Latin provides sound and practical training for understanding of the English language? Or are those modern educators correct who insist that transfer value for the classics is meager, that study of the Latin language has no practical value

Marbles

Jerry thought a moment. Then I can\u27t remember any memory verse from last Thunday. If I\u27m not absent any Thunday this quarter, will I get a bag of marbles

Headless Horsemen

As I look around my room in this practical, unimaginative daylight, I can yet feel the terror and see the awful spirits which peopled it on moonlit nights long ago in my childhood imagination. The moonlight, which must filter through the broad leaves of the sycamore outside my window and penetrate the draperies before it reached my bedroom, gave only a lukewarm illumination by the time it reached its destination, for each obstacle had captured a part of its strength

Geology of Belton Reservoir Area, Leon River, Bell County, Texas

Location of project. Belton Reservoir will be formed by construction of an earthen dam on the Leon River at about river mile 16.7, approximately 3 miles north of Belton. The reservoir will occupy a northern portion of Bell County and a southeastern portion of Coryell County. Sites investigated. An extensive subsurface investigation was made of the project document site at river mile 15.5. Subsurface explorations disclosed adverse leakage and unfavorable geologic conditions, and as a result the site was abandoned. A dam site at about river mile 16.7 was investigated and found to be geologically satisfactory for development of the definite project dam
