Social diskriminering og ligestilling

"A radically different approach to social and environmental justice work for fans of Adrienne Maree Brown and Bessel van der Kolk. Instead of thinking about social justice as a process that starts with changing people's minds, Embodied Activism understands our bodies--how we feel in them and relate to others through them--as the sites of transformation"--

A photographic tapestry of our diverse planet

From the denial of abortion rights in Ireland to sexual violence against British South Asian women in England, the state and its institutions continue to fail women. This book offers a counter-narrative to contemporary injustices and a persistent culture of victim-blaming. The academic and activist contributions to this collection explore contemporary research areas and pursue new discursive directions in order to present a feminist criminology, built on feminist praxis, for the 21st century. Providing a direct challenge to regressive and ineffective theory, policy and practice, this book resists the politics of gendered victimization through extending feminist analyses of the state and documenting interventions into contemporary injustices.

An incisive case for trans justice from a powerful new voice.

In der Pandemie gab und gibt es viel persönliches Leid und viel persönliche Auseinandersetzung. Es gibt Maßnahmenbefürworter und Maßnahmenkritiker. Menschen, die Angst haben vor dem Virus, gegen Menschen, die Angst haben vor den gesellschaftlichen und politischen Folgen der Maßnahmen gegen das Virus.Der Autor gehört dieser zweiten Gruppe an, und versucht, diese Perspektive darzustellen und verständlicher zu machen.Die Sprache ist einfach, der Stil wechselt zwischen um Sachlichkeit bemühten Darstellungen und persönlichen Stellungnahmen. Man kann dem Autor zugutehalten, dass er jene ansprechen will, die nicht viel Zeit aufwenden können. Als weiterführende Hinweise benennt er keine weiteren Bücher, sondern Video-Dokus, die sich schneller und leichter erschließen lassen.Der Autor möchte um ein Nachdenken werben, gerade, wenn man anderer Ansicht ist. Und er tut dies auf eine eigene, persönliche und nachvollziehbare Art.- Der Autor

Nach einer Pause kehrt Jalta in neuem Format zurück - als Buchreihe mit dem Band Nachhalle. Die extrem traumatischen Einschnitte, die die Anschläge in Halle 2019 und Hanau 2020 bedeuten, ihre weitreichenden Folgen für die Betroffenen und Angehörigen, die fortwährende Gewaltbereitschaft und die sich verdichtende Stimmung in der Corona-Pandemie waren Anlass für uns, uns mit der Geschichte und Wirkung rechter und antisemitischer Gewalt zu beschäftigen.Seit Jahrzehnten zeigt sich in Deutschland die kollektive Unfähigkeit, die Kontinuität und Gegenwärtigkeit rechter Ideologien wahrzunehmen und dagegen zu handeln. Eine psychologisierende Medienberichterstattung, die Verharmlosung von Antisemitismus, Rassismus und Misogynie sowie das Beharren auf der These der "Einzeltaten" prägen den gesellschaftspolitischen Umgang.In Nachhalle fragen wir danach, wie tief diese Gewaltverhältnisse in Deutschland verankert sind, wie sie wirken und was wir ihnen entgegensetzen können. Wie kann ein Wandel hin zu der gesellschaftlichen Einsicht gelingen, dass die Bedrohung für bestimmte Gruppen und Minderheiten sowohl historisch als auch aktuell alltäglich ist und Biografien sowie Lebensentwürfe vieler Menschen überschattet? Auch und vor allem steht damit die Frage im Zentrum, welche gesellschaftlichen Bündnisse und welche Solidarität aus diesen erdrückenden Verhältnissen entstanden sind und wo wir weitere Bedarfe an wirkungsmächtigen Allianzen sehen. Nachhalle versammelt unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf den Anschlag in Halle, auf den Prozess und auf die daraus entstandenen Beziehungsnetze. Es geht um die verheerenden Folgen, die rechte, antisemitische, misogyne Gewalt hat und wie sie Menschen ihres Rechts auf physische, psychische und soziale Unversehrtheit beraubt. Zugleich zeigen die Autor*innen, dass diejenigen, die sich der rechten Gewalt entgegenstellen, zusammenfinden. Wir erklären uns solidarisch mit allen Überlebenden und Angehörigen der Anschläge in Halle und Hanau wie auch mit allen Überlebenden und Angehörigen anderer rechter Gewalttaten.

"Canadian laws are just, the police uphold the rule of law and treat everyone equally, and without the police, communities would descend into chaos and disorder. These entrenched myths, rooted in settler-colonial logic, work to obscure a hard truth: the police do not keep us safe. This edited collection brings together writing from a range of activists and scholars, whose words are rooted in experience and solidarity with those putting their lives on the line to fight for police abolition in Canada. Together, they imagine a different world--one in which police power is eroded and dissolved forever, one in which it is possible to respond to distress and harm with assistance and care."--

"The first book to tell the full story of race and health in America today, showing the toll racism takes on individuals and the health of our nation, by a groundbreaking journalist at the New York Times Magazine"--

Why Black Lives Do Matter probes deeply how racial typecasting continues to fuel the widespread public belief that Blacks are victimizers and not victims. This has stifled public debate and enabled political inaction, if not outright resistance, to meaningful solutions to the problem of racial victimization in American society. He observes that this too has deadly consequences: "That could easily translate into more deadly encounters with officers driven by the fear that any and every young Black in any and every street or vehicle stop poses a danger to officers. This is when the stock racial stereotypes of young Blacks as violent threats could kick in and engender a potentially bad outcome."The devaluation of Black lives has truly been a chronic, painful, and all-consuming American dilemma that screams for an end. In his small way Hutchinson, aims that, Why Black Lives Do Matter attempts to further that aim.

An ?electrifying? biography of Walter White, a little-remembered Black civil rights leader who passed for white in order to investigate racist murders, help put the NAACP on the map, and change the racial identity of America forever (Chicago Review of Books).Walter F. White led two lives: one as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and the NAACP in the early twentieth century; the other as a white newspaperman who covered lynching crimes in the Deep South at the blazing height of racial violence. Born mixed race and with very fair skin and straight hair, White was able to ?pass? for white. He leveraged this ambiguity as a reporter, bringing to light the darkest crimes in America and helping to plant the seeds of the civil rights movement.White's risky career led him to lead a double life. He was simultaneously a second-class citizen subject to Jim Crow laws at home and a widely respected professional with full access to the white world at work. His life was fraught with internal and external conflict?much like the story of race in America. Starting out as an obscure activist, White ultimately became Black America's most prominent leader, during his time. A character study of White's life and career with all these complexities has never been rendered, until now.By the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental President, Dewey Defeats Truman, and The Arsenal of Democracy, White Lies uncovers the life of a civil rights leader unlike any other.

This book explicates "bullying" as a concept and as a social and cultural phenomenon that has become a defining reality of the times in which we live. The author begins in the arena where it is first, and most acutely individually, experienced-in school-and expands to other institutions and areas of social life-the family, the workplace, and the local, national, and international spheres, extending the concept of bullying to the global arena to uncover the social and institutional root causes of the extreme forms of bullying such as trafficking, torture, terrorism, and genocide.The book discusses the steps taken to address these issues and analyzes their efficacy. It explores the concept of epigenetics, brain development, childhood experiences, and other psychological factors that contribute to bullying behaviors and predispositions. The book investigates and compares anti-bullying and anti-violence initiatives taken particularly in the U.S, the U.K., and India to address the issue and create community-wide resilience practices. It also describes the current trends in decisions from international, regional, and domestic law, and offers evidence-based policy recommendations to establish a culture of respect for human dignity.An interdisciplinary, intercultural exploration, and analysis of the phenomenon of bullying, this book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers of psychology, sociology, anthropology, social justice and law, human rights, and cultural studies. It will also be useful for academic libraries, academicians, policy planners, school administration, government officials, and readers interested in reading about bullying.
