'One of the most important and timely books I've had the privilege to read' Corinne Fowler, author of Green Unpleasant LandA revelatory historical indictment of the long afterlife of slavery in the Atlantic world To fully understand why the shadow of slavery haunts us today, we must confront the flawed way that it ended. We celebrate abolition - in Haiti after the revolution, in the British Empire in 1833, in the United States during the Civil War. Yet in Black Ghost of Empire, acclaimed historian Kris Manjapra argues that during each of these supposed emancipations, Black people were dispossessed by the moves that were meant to free them. Emancipation, in other words, simply codified the existing racial caste system - rather than obliterating it. Ranging across the Americas, Europe and Africa, Manjapra unearths disturbing truths about the Age of Emancipations, 1780-1880. In Britain, reparations were given to wealthy slaveowners, not the enslaved, a vast debt that was only paid off in 2015, and the crucial role of Black abolitionists and rebellions in bringing an end to slavery has been overlooked. In Jamaica, Black people were liberated only to enter into an apprenticeship period harsher than slavery itself. In the American South, the formerly enslaved were 'freed' into a system of white supremacy and racial terror. Across Africa, emancipation served as an alibi for colonization. None of these emancipations involved atonement by the enslavers and their governments for wrongs committed, or reparative justice for the formerly enslaved-an omission that grassroots Black organizers and activists are rightly seeking to address today. Black Ghost of Empire will rewire readers' understanding of the world in which we live. Paradigm-shifting, lucid and courageous, this book shines a light into the enigma of slavery's supposed death, and its afterlives.

Most early social research into planned events had the effect of broadcasting narratives of dominant cultures and privileged groups. More recently, however, convergences of gender, sexualities, ethnicities, age, class, religion, and intersectional analyses and events studies have started to drive new critical understanding of the impacts of events on non-mainstream, non-majority communities around the globe. This timely book addresses current gaps in the literature surrounding issues of accessibility, inclusion, and diversity in various event landscapes.Structured into four parts covering the main types of events, the chapters present original topics using innovative methodological approaches. Each chapter employs a case study to illustrate the key intertwining issues in these various experiential realms. Further, the chapters are all cross- or interdisciplinary, drawing on gender, sexualities, cultural, race/ethnicity studies as well as multiple literatures that feed into critical events studies and exploring a variety of global examples.This significant book opens the path to further research on the role and importance of accessibility, inclusion, and diversity in events environments worldwide. It will be of interest to academics and researchers of critical event studies as well as a number of related social science disciplines.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Recht und Kriminalität, Note: 1,7, Universität Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit polizeilicher Gewalt gegen Afroamerikaner in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Am 25. Mai 2020 starb ein damals 46-jährige Afroamerikaner namens George Floyd. Für 7 Minuten und 46 Sekunden hielt ihn ein weißer Polizeibeamter am Boden und drückte sein Knie an Floyds Hals, sodass dieser keine Luft mehr bekam. Aber wie kam es dazu, dass der Polizist so weit ging und einem Menschen das Leben nahm? George Floyd machte sich am genannten Tag vor 20 Uhr auf den Weg in den Laden "Cup Foods", wo er sich Zigaretten kaufen wollte, die er dann mit einem 20 Dollar Schein bezahlte. Der damals anwesende Verkäufer nahm an, dass es sich um gefälschtes Geld handeln würde und verlangte deshalb, dass Floyd ihm die Zigaretten zurückgab. Dieser weigerte sich jedoch, also rief der Kassierer bei der Polizei an und erklärte die Situation, fügte aber noch hinzu, dass Floyd betrunken war und sich nicht beherrschen konnte. Auf den Körperkameras der Polizei konnte man erkennen, dass Floyd sehr kooperativ war, was im Transkript jedoch nicht rauszulesen war. Die Beamten hingegen schienen äußerst aggressiv zu handeln. Erst als sie versuchten, ihn in ihr Auto zu setzen, begann er, sich zu wehren. Er fiel zu Boden und sagte. er sei klaustrophobisch. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt erschien Derek Chauvin. Als sie es nach wiederholtem Mal nicht schafften, ihn in ihr Auto zu setzen, zog Chauvin ihn weg vom Auto und Floyd fiel zu Boden. Die Zeugen vor Ort fingen an das Geschehen mit ihren Handys aufzuzeichnen. Was sie vorher jedoch nicht wussten, war, dass es Georges Floyds letzten Momente waren.
