Social diskriminering og ligestilling

From the bestselling and Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other, Bernardine Evaristo's memoir of her own life and writing, and her manifesto on unstoppability, creativity, and activismBernardine Evaristo's 2019 Booker Prize win was a historic and revolutionary occasion, with Evaristo being the first Black woman and first Black British person ever to win the prize in its fifty-year history. Girl, Woman, Other was named a favorite book of the year by President Obama and Roxane Gay, was translated into thirty-five languages, and has now reached more than a million readers.Evaristo's astonishing nonfiction debut, Manifesto, is a vibrant and inspirational account of Evaristo's life and career as she rebelled against the mainstream and fought over several decades to bring her creative work into the world. With her characteristic humor, Evaristo describes her childhood as one of eight siblings, with a Nigerian father and white Catholic mother, tells the story of how she helped set up Britain's first Black women's theatre company, remembers the queer relationships of her twenties, and recounts her determination to write books that were absent in the literary world around her. She provides a hugely powerful perspective to contemporary conversations around race, class, feminism, sexuality, and aging. She reminds us of how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. In Manifesto, Evaristo charts her theory of unstoppability, showing creative people how they too can visualize and find success in their work, ignoring the naysayers.Both unconventional memoir and inspirational text, Manifesto is a unique reminder to us all to persist in doing work we believe in, even when we might feel overlooked or discounted. Evaristo shows us how we too can follow in her footsteps, from first vision, to insistent perseverance, to eventual triumph.

"Liberation is ultimately a celebration of our deepest humanity, and our fight for it must include a deeper examination of how we relate to oppressive systems while centering our joy, peace, and pleasure." — Tina StrawnAre We Free Yet? The Black Queer Guide to Divorcing America is simultaneously a personal reflection and a collective examination of our relationship to liberation and oppression. In it, Tina Strawn, host of the Speaking of Racism podcast and Instagram platform of the same name, shares her intimate experiences of queerness and Blackness, heartbreak and loss, foreign and home, as she navigates and finds freedom. Alongside Tina's personal journey through a year of challenging transitions, Are We Free Yet? offers an interactive guide to four pillars of activism: joy, liberation, pleasure, and connection. From the role of cannabis to the importance of embracing our grief, this book offers a critical take on all it means to be an activist, offering deep reflection and discussions on race, social change, sex, and healing. Divorce expert (divorced from a husband, a wife, and a country) and author Tina Strawn will challenge readers to:    Question what freedom means and looks like in their lives. How does freedom show up daily? Look at this from a personal and collective place, as well as socially and politically. What are some of the barriers in their life to feeling free? For Black folx, a barrier to feeling free might be the looming threat of police brutality or not feeling like they could leave the country if they wanted to. The book should cause the reader to ask themselves: "How free do I actually feel?"   Consider what leaving the country could look like for them. "Before reading this book, I never even allowed myself to fantasize or think about leaving the country. After reading this book, I am ready to ask myself if I want that maybe start pursuing steps to Blaxit or leave the country.  See themselves (their preferences, personality traits, and biases) in their activism. When we say "do the work," there's an element that involves unpacking our biases. "Doing the work" means unpacking our relationship to systems and looking at them from an oppression standpoint versus one of liberation. The reader will examine their internal experience with systems and institutions (white supremacy, capitalism, the patriarchy, marriage, monogamy, gender/sexuality, etc.) and how they might be applying those principles--consciously or unconsciously--to aspects of their lives.  Deeply investigate what it means to them to be an American and to love or not love "your" country. Has reading Are We Free Yet? opened up and expanded their understanding of being a citizen of this country? What does it mean to be an American? What does it look like to have a relationship with the United States? What would they say in their divorce letter to America if they were to write one? About the Author: Tina Strawn is a joy and liberation advocate, activist, author, and the owner and host of the Speaking of Racism (IG: @speakingofracism) podcast. The heart of her work is leading Legacy Trips (IG: @legacytrips), immersive antiracism experiences where participants visit historical locations such as Montgomery and Selma, AL, and utilize spiritual practices as tools to affect personal and collective change.

"The anticipated debut by a biracial community leader and citizen activist, exploring his lived experience of systemic racism in North America and the paths forward. "My race duality has given me a unique perspective on both the Black and white experience in Canada... What became most evident to me - most universal - was an important need for building bridges of understanding between Black and white Canadians. A need to inform and educate so that hopefully, in due time, we can achieve real change." As a bilingual, biracial man, straddling Black and white, English and French Canada, Stephen Dorsey lives in a world of dualities. In his deeply personal and insightful debut, he offers readers intimate and unfiltered access to his lived experience of anti-Black racism around the world, including Canada, the United States, and Europe, focusing on his formative years growing up in 1970s Montreal as a Black child in a white family headed by a racist stepfather, and details his personal awakening inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. A powerful blend of autobiography and social analysis, Black & White is an intimate excavation of systemic racism in North America - from our health-care and education systems, to policing and law, to a deep analysis of the uniquely intersectional discrimination faced by minorities in Dorsey's home province of Quebec. With an inclusive and accessible approach, aimed at community connection and education, Dorsey delves deep into Canada's history of racial discrimination and, by contrasting it with that of our American neighbours, debunks our nation's mythological narrative, providing necessary context on white privilege, which he calls "white advantage", and offers concrete pathways to lasting societal change. Holding readers gently to account, Black & White is the book for the ally in all of us."--

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1,7, , course: Women, Gender and Development, language: English, abstract: This paper examines major factors in the context of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan current situation in female education with regard to the Taleban threat. Looking at education as a development strategy for female empowerment, it is explained how development and gender equality are connected. Furthermore it is constructed in what way education can contribute to empowerment, using the logic of the empowerment approach referred to by Caroline Moser on the account of Gender Planning. To bolster the importance of empowerment in a development context examples from other possibilities of empowerment are used.To give contextual background to the current situation in Afghanistan as well as to clarify the stance of the Taleban on female education and a woman¿s place in society, a brief history of education and women¿s role over the last 100 years is given. Furthermore, drawing on papers on the development of education in Afghanistan and statistics from various sources, an overview over the current situation in Afghanistan is given. Topics are the Taleban threat as well as the educational structures, like schools, personnel and management along with a short reflection on the importance of empowerment in that context. Finally, upon the description of current situation conclusions are drawn in what way development agencies and other NGOs might be able to contribute to better the situation in Afghanistan.Education is a key aspect of development. Aside from furthering a country¿s human capital, it can be used as a way to empower women. Therefore education can be a central tool to empower women in developing countries. Taking the example of Afghanistan, the paper theorises how education can empower women, especially in the context of religious gender segregation and oppression.

A guidebook to the institutional transformation of design theory and practice by restoring the long-excluded cultures of Indigenous, Black, and People of Color communities.From the excesses of world expositions to myths of better living through technology, modernist design, in its European-based guises, has excluded and oppressed the very people whose lands and lives it reshaped. Decolonizing Design first asks how modernist design has encompassed and advanced the genocidal project of colonization-then shows how design might address these harms by recentering its theory and practice in global Indigenous cultures and histories. A leading figure in the movement to decolonize design, Dori Tunstall uses hard-hitting real-life examples and case studies drawn from over fifteen years of working to transform institutions to better reflect the lived experiences of Indigenous, Black, and People of Color communities. Her book is at once enlightening, inspiring, and practical, interweaving her own lived experiences with extensive research to show what decolonizing design means, how it heals, and how to practice it in our institutions today. Under her guidelines, the origins, values, and methods of design move beyond the nineteenth-century European model to acknowledge and fully incorporate practices of making by peoples who predate and survive the effects of European colonization. For leaders and practitioners in design institutions and communities, Tunstall's work demonstrates how we can transform the way we imagine and remake the world, replacing pain and repression with equity, inclusion, and diversity-in short, she shows us how to realize the infinite possibilities that decolonized design represents.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Note: 2,5, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zu Beginn meiner Studienarbeit über die Ausgrenzung aus Gruppen und die damit verbundenen Folgen für die Persönlichkeit werde ich allgemeine themenbezogene Begrifflichkeiten definieren und relevante Vorgänge in Gruppen erläutern. Anschließend nehme ich das Individuum, sprich die einzelne Person, im Bezug auf das Gruppengeschehen in den Fokus. Ableitend daraus, ergibt sich im letzten Abschnitt meiner Studienarbeit eine klare Tendenz bezüglich der Wichtigkeit von Gruppen auf den Menschen. Aber was passiert, wenn Menschen nicht in Gruppen integriert sondern ausgegrenzt beziehungsweise isoliert werden? Dieser Frage möchte ich zusätzlich auf den Grund gehen und mögliche Ansatzpunkte aufzeigen, diese Isolation und Ausgrenzung zu vermeiden ¿ für den Einzelnen und die Gruppenmitglieder. Die Persönlichkeit eines Menschen kann sich zu etwas sehr Starkem und Großen entwickeln. Es ist nicht immer der Fall, dass eine Gruppe stärker als eine einzelne Person ist. Aber sie kann es doch schaffen etwas ganz großes zu bewegen.
