Social diskriminering og ligestilling

The contributors to this original volume provide a new and nuanced approach to studying how discourses of religion shape public domains in sites of political contestation and "e;broken solidarities."e;Our public discourse is saturated with intractable debates about religion, race, gender, and nationalism. Examples range from Muslim women and headscarves to Palestine/Israel and to global anti-Black racism, along with other pertinent issues. We need fresh thinking to navigate the questions that these debates raise for social justice and solidarity across lines of difference. In Religion and Broken Solidarities, the contributors provide powerful reflections and wisdom to guide how we can approach these questions with deep ethical commitments, intersectional sensibilities, and intellectual rigor.Religion and Broken Solidarities traces the role of religious discourse in unrealized moments of solidarity between marginalized groups who ostensibly share similar aims. Religion, the contributors contend, cannot be separated from national, racial, gendered, and other ways of belonging. These modes of belonging make it difficult for different minoritized groups to see how their struggles might benefit from engagement with one another. The four chapters, which interpret historical and contemporary events with a sharp and critical lens, examine accusations of antisemitism and anti-Muslim racism in the Women's March in Washington, DC; the failure of feminists in Iran and Turkey to realize a common cause because of nationalist discourse concerning religiosity and secularity; Black Catholics seeking to overcome the problems of modernity in the West; and the disjunction between the Palestinian and Mizrahi cause in Palestine/Israel. Together these analyses show that overcoming constraints to solidarity requires alternative imaginaries to that of the modern nation-state.Contributors: Atalia Omer, Joshua Lupo, Perin E.

In this updated edition of the bestselling book, Finding the Heart of the Nation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander author Thomas Mayo gets behind the politics and legal speak to explain why the Uluru Statement from the Heart is an invitation to all Australians.   Australia is set to vote on a referendum to enshrine a First Nations voice in the constitution as a result of the 2022 federal election. In this book, Thomas focuses on the stories of First Nations People, including some new voices, looking at the truth of our past and present, and hopes for a better future. Importantly, he shares with you – the Australian public – how we all have the power to make change. The campaign for Voice Treaty Truth, starting with a referendum, is an opportunity to right some of the wrongs, give First Nations People a seat at the table, and to recognise that we are a nation with over 60,000 years of continuous culture. Completing his writing just after the 2022 federal election, Thomas has included a new introduction and conclusion, as well as a call to action for all Australians. Now in a paperback format, this collection of stories offers hope and tells us how we, as Australians, may find our collective heart.

"A polemic against white Christian nationalism in twenty-first century America"--

'An eye-opening, deeply disturbing, fast-moving journey through the lives, homes and affairs of the filthy rich of London' Danny Dorling'Fascinating, punchy, thought-provoking. Serious Money exposes the corrosive impact of London's super rich on our economy, society and politics, and comprehensively busts the myth that their wealth trickles down to the rest of us' Frances O'GradyLondon is a plutocrat's paradise, with more resident billionaires than New York, Hong Kong or Moscow. Far from trickling down, their wealth is burning up the environment and swallowing up the city. But what do we really know about London's super rich, and the lives they lead?To find out more about this secretive, security-heavy elite, sociologist Caroline Knowles walks the streets of London from the City to suburban Surrey, via Kensington, Notting Hill, Mayfair and elsewhere. Her walks reveal how the wealthy shape the capital in their image, creating a new world of gated communities and luxury developments. A move behind closed doors takes us ever further into the dark heart of the plutocratic city, from multimillion-pound mansions to high-end hotels and gentlemen's clubs. Along the way we meet a wide and wickedly entertaining cast of millionaires, billionaires and those who serve them: bankers, aristocrats, tech tycoons, Conservative party donors, butlers, bodyguards, divorce lawyers and many, many more.By turns jaw-dropping, enraging and enlightening, Serious Money explodes the fiction that wealth is a condition to aspire to, revealing the isolation and paranoia which accompany it when the plutocrat's recompense - a life of unlimited luxury - ultimately proves hollow. It is a powerful reminder us that it is not just the super-rich who get to make the city: we make it too, and could demand something different. Because serious money is good for no one - not even the rich.'Magnificent ... Knowles writes with enviable lightness and pace about how money, property, birth, breeding, contacts, secrecy, and servants have created a class that owns and milks London, a world away from the city's ordinary citizens' Professor Ash Amin, author of Seeing Like a City

Featuring chapters written by interdisciplinary scholars, Anti-Black Racism in Contemporary America helps readers identify anti-Black racism and internalized White cultural practices, processes, and procedures that cause harm to Black individuals and African Americans. The opening chapter addresses societal racism and explores how it causes institutional racial disparities across various systems. Additional chapters propose a more racially appropriate framework for educating Black children; examine protests of Black male and female athletes and the effects of racism on sport at all levels; and address the disempowerment of Black people in the election process. The book addresses the counseling process with Black clients, speaks to the right of Black parents to raise their children, and underscores the importance of protecting the integrity of Black families. Anti-Black Racism in Contemporary America is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, co-sponsored by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key multicultural groups.

The American society is currently infused with the effect of indiscipline which displays itself in systemic racism, prejudice, police brutality and school shootings. This situation originated from the historical development of Jim Crowism laws of 1807-1859.The social reform of 1820 - 1899 influenced the supreme Court in Plessy VS Ferguson which decided in 1899 that all students should be equally tutored but in segregated locations. The architects of this movement continued their protest and meetings. Consequently, the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Ferguson Vs Board of Education resulted in a subsequent ruling in 1954 which eliminated segregation in schools. Gummer Myrdal the author of American Dilemma, mentioned in his writings acts of historical and systemic racism in America. His work was sponsored and published by the Carnegie foundation. He substantiated his views with supporting evidence of racism involving the treatment of African American soldiers who fought in the American wars alongside their white counterparts. Ralph Bunche the distinguished Afro American representative to the United Nation who negotiated peace in the Middle East was internationally recognized for his work. Despite Bunche' popularity, his achievements, and accolades, he was subjected to racism in a certain middle-income community in New York where he resided. The application of current education policy, racial justice, the unequal distribution of economic benefits and the exclusion of the bible in public administration, the Family and the schools are devastating. The racist manner infractions of school rules are being administered help to create frustrations and added misbehavior in the society. The conduits from school to prison idea which originated from the 'zero Tolerance in school policy' is devastating. The indiscriminate killing of African American by the police and other acts of police brutality are concerning. The problems of the Corona Pandemic, the 2020 Presidential elections and the attempted insurrection are all evidence of not just an Impending disaster but the beginning of a dilemma, or chaos. The author of this book Selbourne Reid is a retired Detective Inspector of Police from the Jamaica Constabulary Force. Selbourne observed the need to address the plight of children who were getting themselves in trouble with the law. He observed that most of the young people who were getting themselves in trouble with the law were from Inner city communities and that they needed better parenting. He after studying 'Child evangelism' sought and obtained permission from his supervisors to do and did voluntary social work in some of these inner cities in Jamaica for many years. Retiring from the Force he immigrated to the USA and was employed with the city of New York for about eight years. He was first employed as a Child Welfare and Foster Care Investigator and later as a Probation Officer. He relocated to Florida where he was first employed as a Child welfare and abuse investigator and later as a substitute (by choice) classroom schoolteacher. With the avalanche of mass school shootings, Selbourne decided to investigate and ascertain some causes of these shootings. His investigations revealed -in his opinion- that Indiscipline, an Irrelevant 'out of touch 'Education policy, along with Historical and Systemic racism are the main causes of twenty years of mass school shootings in America, as well as other social ills in the American society. He also projected the view that the causes identified in the above paragraph have had such an effect on the nation, that they together have placed America in a state of an Impending Dilemma or Chaos. Selbourne graduated from the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, with a bachelor's in Public Administration. He also attended the graduate teachers' program (GTEP) at Nova South Eastern University Florida and Liberty University in the M.Th. program ('I")
