Bondage and discipline (B/D), dominance and submission (D/s), and sadism and masochism (S/M), also known as BDSM/kink, is becoming an increasingly popular topic in both mainstream media and people's sexual lives. As such, it is vital for sexuality professionals to have an understanding of BDSM and training in working with clients, over and above the current requirements. We present a three part training program which utilizes Sexual Attitude Reassessments (SARS), independent reading, and skills development through supervision, which will ensure that sexuality professionals are more than simply "kink-friendly" but are highly trained and able to help clients navigate concerns with kink and BDSM relationships.

Within the Chicano movement, white feminism was frequently represented as a threat to Chicano families and the community in general. Chicanas were expected to take supportive roles to preserve Chicano traditions, culture, and family structure (as opposed to creating a new, revolutionary family, as in Black liberation ideology). Organizing their feminism in a way that allowed them to stay closely linked to mixed-gender organizations, Chicanas responded by presenting themselves as profamily and simultaneously challenging the notion that women's subordination to men was somehow a part of traditional Chicano culture. They argued that Chicana feminists had existed throughout history and that changing women's roles could strengthen the Chicano family and the movement as well.Overall, Roth demonstrates that feminism held broad appeal for women from different racial-ethnic communities but took different forms depending on the ideas and political culture of the movements from which they emerged. In the second wave, as is true today, there was no one way to be a feminist. Roth concludes the book by contemplating the legacy of the ethos of "organizing one's own" that was so central to 1960s and 1970s activism. Continuing inequality among women, she suggests, makes coalition building both necessary and difficult. She calls for an "inclusive solidarity," which "is only possible when partners at once take notice of inequality and strive not to reproduce dominance" (p. 223).Based principally on the analysis of archival data, including movement documents, grassroots journals, newsletters, and magazines, the book also incorporates nine interviews conducted by Roth with Black and Chicana feminists and draws on two additional oral histories conducted by Maylei Blackwell. I highly recommend Separate Roads to Feminism. It is appropriate for use in undergraduate-and graduate-level courses on social movements, race, class and gender, the sociology of gender, and women's history.
