Social diskriminering og ligestilling

A look back from a future in which racism is no more-inspiring us to start taking positive action today"It's the year 2050... and racism has ended." Could this really be our future? If so, what has to happen now to achieve such a radical change? In How We Ended Racism, Justin Michael Williams and Shelly Tygielski reveal a path for real and lasting global impact-not just talking about it, studying it, or making small steps, but actually ending racism in one generation.Williams and Tygielski draw from a wide array of scientific studies, as well as their practical successes in teaching a multitude of diverse groups across perceived "divides," to show us how to shift our perspective and enact lasting change in our families, workplaces, communities, and beyond. Here they provide solid answers to the questions future generations will ask about this pivotal time in history, by laying out the eight conditions that needed to arise in humanity to realize this possibility, covering: . How was it possible? The research on large-scale social change that showed racism could end. What were the first steps? Overcoming doubt, owning our emotions, and committing to truth. What were the biggest challenges? Shadow work, big conversations, and forgiveness. Which tools actually worked? The field-tested methods that allowed us to heal and connect. Who ended racism? How we-each of us-helped our culture evolve to make racism a thing of the past"You don't fix racism," say the authors. "You don't fight it. You don't make it better. You end it. We learned how to bridge any political or ideological divide-inviting liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between to cocreate a future worth fighting for." Here is a guide that dares to envision a world beyond typical diversity, equity, and inclusion work while providing tools and action steps to create a liberated future-so that our descendants can look back at this era as the time when we decided to end racism for the good of all.

***LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL******A GUARDIAN GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023***Darrin Bell was six years old when his mother told him he couldn't have a realistic water gun. She said that police think little Black boys older and less innocent than they are. So began 'The Talk'...'The Ta-Nehisi Coates of comics' GARRY TRUDEAU, creator of Doonesbury'Darrin Bell has produced another American classic'GUARDIANThrough evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Darrin Bell examines how The Talk all Black parents must have with their children shaped his intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. While coming of age in Los Angeles - and finding a voice through cartooning - Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbours and police officers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans, and showcasing revealing insights and cartoons along the way, he brings us up to the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.And now Bell must decide whether he and his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk.

A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom - are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance. They play a decisive role in human flourishing and, for hundreds of years, their walls and walkways, windows and doorways have guided our relationships with others and with ourselves. They reflect and reinforce social inequalities; they allow us to celebrate and cherish those we love. They are the places of return that allow us to venture out into the world.In this intimate, elegantly argued account, Coccia shows how the architecture of home has shaped, and continues to shape, our psyches and our societies, before then masterfully leading us towards a more creative, ecological way of dwelling in the world.

"First published in 1967, Ernest Cole's House of Bondage has been lauded as one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century, revealing the horrors of apartheid to the world for the first time and influencing generations of photographers around the globe. Reissued for contemporary audiences, this edition adds a chapter of unpublished work found in a recently resurfaced cache of negatives and recontextualizes this pivotal book for our time"--

"Man får ikke en egentlig systematisk analyse af raceproblemer i USA i ’Et spørgsmål om race’, men man får suveræne fortolkninger, imponerende selvkritik, eminente indsigter og en fornem opvisning i, hvordan man faktisk kan anerkende den sociale virkeligheds kompleksitet og stadig skrive på fordringen om at kæmpe for det gode, søge sandheden og forsøge at hjælpe alle i deres kampe for at gøre verden til et bedre sted." - fra Rune Lykkebergs forordEt spørgsmål om race udkom i USA i 1993 og blev straks en bestseller. Næsten 30 år senere er det stadig en af de mest originale bøger om racisme, kapitalisme og imperialisme. Bogen er første titel i Informations Forlags nye bogserie Antiracistiske klassikere. Cornel West (f. 1953) er professor, forfatter, politisk aktivist og er en af de vigtigste venstreorienterede intellektuelle i USA. Han har skrevet adskillige bøger om race, kapitalisme, demokrati og filosofi. Med Et spørgsmål om race udkommer han for første gang på dansk.

Sorte mennesker er ikke bedre til at løbe langt eller hurtigt end hvide mennesker. Hvide mennesker er ikke mere intelligente end sorte. Østasiatiske studerende er ikke naturligt bedre til matematik, jøder har ikke et medfødt talent for penge, og din hudfarve fortæller ikke noget om, hvilken race du tilhører.Disse og mange andre stereotyper og myter om race er netop de fundamenter, strukturel racisme hviler på.Bogen her giver et videnskabeligt blik på, hvad moderne genetik kan og ikke kan fortælle os om menneskelig forskellighed. Videnskaben er historisk set blevet brugt som et værktøj til at institutionalisere racismen, men i denne bog forsøger Rutherford at vise, hvordan videnskaben kan og bør bruges som et antiracistisk værktøj.Videnskabelige argumenter mod racisme er et våben til at afmontere pseudovidenskabelige ideer om, at de forskelle, der er mellem os mennesker som individer, kan sige noget om os mennesker som større grupper. Et våben mod racisme.Hvad vores gener siger (og ikke siger)om forskelle mellem mennesker

”En smuk hyldest til et fantastisk kønsorgan. En lille kussologi fuld af poesi og nyttig viden”. - Christian Graugaard, professor i sexologi ”Denne bog rydder én gang for alle op i de mange myter og misforståelser der, trods oplysning og færre tabuer, stadig findes omkring vulva og vagina.“ - Karina Lins, psykolog og parterapeut, forfatter til ‘Samtalen om sex’. Den lille bog om …udforsker det mest sagnomspundne kønsorgans mange steder og muligheder. Den er en visuel hyldest, der navngiver og inspirerer, tegner og fortæller.

Op mod 7 procent af en ungdomsårgang begynder voksen livet uden at være i uddannelse eller have en stabil tilknytning tilarbejdsmarkedet. En stor andel af disse unge vil fortsætte uden arbejde og uddannelse som voksne.Et liv på kanten af samfundet giver først og fremmest en socialt og materielt set fattigere tilværelse for den enkelte. Men deter også forbundet med store økonomiske omkostninger for fællesskabet i form af tabte skatteindtægter og øgede udgiftertil overførselsindkomster. Udsatte unge er derfor en af de helt store udfordringer for et socialt og økonomisk bæredygtigt velfærdssamfund.ROCKWOOL Fonden styrker gennem forskning og sociale interventioner vores viden om de udsatte unge. Det sker bl.a. gennemanalyser af deres baggrund og livssituation, hvilket netop er temaet i denne anden udgivelse på Gyldendal med en lettilgængelig præsentation af den løbende forskning i emnet.I bogen analyseres betydningen af sociale begivenheder fx i form af forældres skilsmisse eller af et liv i en familie med lavindkomst for den senere eksponering for udsathed. Måske er indretningen af arbejdsmarkedet et problem i sig selv, hvilkettages op i bogen. Andre kapitler analyserer, hvem de udsatte unge konkurrerer med på arbejdsmarkedet, og hvilken økonomiskgevinst, de unge kan se frem til, hvis de tager en uddannelse.

Mikas Langs anden bog, Og spøgelser (Melanin II), foreligger hermed i en ny udgave. Og spøgelser veksler mellem poesi og prosa, mellem sort på hvidt og hvidt på sort. Titlen henviser til de personer, mere eller mindre døde, som er til stede i samlingen, som “skriver med”. Mest fylder forfatterens afdøde mor; han skriver til hende, hun skriver selv, og hun taler endda gennem andre af værkets stemmer. Ligeså vigtigt henviser titlen også til den (levende) død, der indstiftes ved europæernes slavegørelse af afrikanere og som i dag udgør “slaveriets efterliv”. “Og spøgelser skifter mellem facts og følelser, dokumenter og digte. Stemningen og energien veksler mellem protest og fuldstændig afmagt. Den afmagt og smerte er vi nødt til at tale om og forholde os til.” Information “Eksakt billedskabende og ekspanderende i sit perspektiv.” Standart “Velskrevet og rytmisk digtsamling ... en poetisk sang, der antager forskellige former.” Litteratursiden

En dag bekendtgør hun, at hun ikke kan vaske sine kollegers kaffekopper op, da hun er gravid, og lugten gør hende dårlig.Men … Shibata er ikke gravid, og nu har hun en ni måneder lang løgn, hun skal opretholde.”’Dagbog fra et tomrum’ er en af de stærkeste skildringer af kvindelig subjektivitet, kreativitet og indre liv, jeg nogensinde har læst.” – The New YorkerUdgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.

I ”Kvindsmod” deler syv inspirerende kvinder deres stærke personlige historier. På hver deres måde og med hver deres baggrund har de valgt at sætte sig selv og deres liv på spil for at gøre en forskel i verden. De har mødt modgang, tvivl, svigt og frygt, men de har hver især fundet deres indre styrke og helt egen stemme. Samtidig har de brudt med forventninger til, hvordan kvinder skal agere, se ud, lede, elske og leve. I bogen fortæller de ærligt om de oplevelser, der har været med til at forme dem. Anabel Hernández trodser narkobaroner. Claudia Paz y Paz tager opgør med vold. Kasha Nabagesera kæmper for LGBT+-rettigheder. Marinel Sumook Ubaldo er klimaaktivist. Masih Alinejad står op mod undertrykkelse. Sarah McBride møder had som transkønnet politiker. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya går imod en diktator.

Fra 1923 og frem til 1961 blev cirka 500 unge kvinder anbragt på Sprogø, en ø-anstalt for lettere åndssvage og seksuelt afvigende kvinder. Her skulle de genopdrages og lære at tøjle deres lyster. I ”Pigerne fra Sprogø” skildres hverdagen og livet på øen gennem journaler, breve og avisartikler. Bogen følger en række kvinder, der blev anbragt på ø-anstalten, og giver et levende indblik i deres svære vilkår og situation. Den giver også en nuanceret fremstilling af baggrunden for anstaltens oprettelse og udfordrer opfattelsen af, at datidens tænkning og praksis er et afsluttet kapitel i vores historie. Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.

BOGEN om THE MENTAL LOADHvad gør man, når ens mand ikke ser børnenes behov? Hvad gør man, når han ikke ved, hvornår der skal købes vinterstøvler eller har styr på kalenderen? Hvad gør man, når man elsker ham og ikke har nogle intentioner om at gå fra ham, men er bitter og vred det meste af tiden? Og hvad med den manglende sexlyst?I Danmark bruger kvinder i gennemsnit en time mere end deres mænd på husholdningsarbejde, hver dag. Og oveni er der en lang række usynlige arbejdsopgaver, som ikke måles.Meget forskning peger på, at det ikke handler om, at kvinden går mere op i at holde hus og derfor får ansvar for hjemmet. Men hvad handler det så om?I bogen "Mental Load & ligestilling" får du en konkret forklaring på, hvad The Mental Load er, så det bliver nemmere at ligestille arbejdsfordelingen hjemme hos dig. Derudover får du indsigt i, hvad det koster for begge parter ikke at være ligestillede i hjemmene. For overraskende nok er det ikke kun kvinder, der betaler en pris for den skæve byrdefordeling. Både mænd og kvinder taber livskvalitet på ikke at deles om The Mental Load.Cathrine Katzmann er parterapeut, sexolog og debattør. Hun har arbejdet med The Mental Load i flere år. Både som parterapeut og i sine onlinekurser hjælper hun par med at få mere balance i familielivet. Følg hende på Instagram under @parterapeutens_dagbogLaura Vilsgaard er cand.comm. med et ben solidt plantet i sociologien. Hun har i de seneste 10 år beskæftiget sig med de eksistentielle livskriser, som forældreskab afstedkommer, bl.a. akademisk og i podcasten "Jegermor".

En praktisk guide til større ligestilling: Sådan frigør vi kvinders karrierer fra arbejde, der ikke bliver belønnet. Nej-klubben blev stiftet af fire kvinder med endeløse to-do-lister og med det formål at få deres arbejdsliv under kontrol. Selv når de løb hurtigere end alle andre, var de stadig bagud i forhold til deres mandlige kollegers løn og karriereforløb. Denne bog afslører resultatet af mere end ti års banebrydende forskning: at kvinder overalt er belastet med "ikke-forfremmende arbejde": planlægning af sommerfesten, screening af praktikanter, pleje af den tidskrævende klient eller simpelthen at hjælpe andre med deres arbejde. Professorerne Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund og Laurie Weingart dokumenterer, hvordan kvinder overalt udfører disse opgaver. Denne ubalance efterlader kvinder overbebyrdede og gør, at virksomhederne mister indtægter, produktivitet og ikke udnytter deres største talenter. Nej-klubben viser, hvordan du laver små, men vigtige ændringer i dine egne arbejdsbyrder og træffer klogere beslutninger om det arbejde, du påtager sig. Samtidig belyser forfatterne, hvordan varige forandringer kræver, at organisationer revurderer, hvordan de tildeler og belønner arbejde for at udjævne vilkårene for alle deres medarbejdere. Med hårde data, personlige anekdoter fra kvinder af alle slags, arbejdspladsvurderinger til øjeblikkelig brug og innovative råd fra rådgivning i Fortune 500-virksomheder vil denne bog ændre samtalen om, hvordan vi fremmer kvinders karrierer og opnår ligestilling i det 21. århundrede

How a coalition of Black health professions schools made health equity a national issue.Racism in the US health care system has been deliberately undermining Black health care professionals and exacerbating health disparities among Black Americans for centuries. These health disparities only became a mainstream issue on the agenda of US health leaders and policy makers because a group of health professions schools at Historically Black Colleges and Universities banded together to fight for health equity. We'll Fight It Out Here tells the story of how the Association of Minority Health Professions Schools (AMHPS) was founded by this coalition and the hard-won influence it built in American politics and health care. David Chanoff and Louis W. Sullivan, former secretary of health & human services, detail how the struggle for equity has been fought in the field of health care, where bias and disparities continue to be volatile national issues. Chanoff and Sullivan outline the history of Black health care, from pre-Emancipation to today, centering on the work of AMHPS, which brought to light health care inequities in 1983 and precipitated virtually all minority health care legislation since then. Based on extensive research in the literature, as well as more than seventy interviews with the people central to this fight for legislative and policy change, We'll Fight It Out Here is the important story of a vital coalition movement, virtually unknown until now, that changed the national understanding of health inequities.The work of this coalition of Black health schools continues, both in supporting the training of more doctors and health professionals from minority backgrounds and in advancing issues related to health equity. By highlighting these endeavors, We'll Fight It Out Here brings attention to a pivotal group in the history of the health equity movement and provides a road map of practical mechanisms that can be used to advance it.

An honest confrontation of systemic racism in faculty hiring-and what to do about itWhile colleges and universities have been lauded for increasing student diversity, these same institutions have failed to achieve any comparable diversity among their faculty. In 2017, of the nation's full-time, tenure-track and tenured faculty, only 3 percent each were Black men, Black women, Hispanic men, and Hispanic women. Only 6 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander men, 5 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander women, and 1 percent were American Indian/Alaska Native. Why are the numbers so abysmal? In Doing the Right Thing, Marybeth Gasman takes a hard, insightful look at the issues surrounding the recruitment and hiring of faculty of color. Relying on national data and interviews with provosts, deans, and department chairs from sixty major universities, Gasman documents the institutional forces stymieing faculty diversification, and she makes the case for how such deficiencies can and should be rectified.Even as institutions publicly champion inclusive excellence and the number of doctoral students of color increases, Gasman reveals the entrenched constraints contributing to the faculty status quo. Impediments to progress include the alleged trade-off between quality and diversity, the power of pedigree, the rigidity of academic pipelines, failures of administrative leadership, lack of accountability among administration and faculty, and the opacity and arbitrariness of the recruitment and hiring process. Gasman contends that leaders must acknowledge institutional failures of inclusion, pervasive systemic racism, and biases that restrict people of color from pursuing faculty careers.Recognizing that individuals from all backgrounds are essential to the creation and teaching of knowledge, Doing the Right Thing puts forth a concrete call for colleges and universities to take action and do better.

Architecture is at a tipping point. Voices of the under-represented have been increasing in volume and are agitated for change. If we don't collectively listen, re-adjust and change our future outlook, we limit the potential relevance of the profession in today's society and, ultimately, the places we create.

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 harmful 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 lived experiences with extensive research to show what decolonizing design means, how it heals, and how to practice it in our institutions today.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.

"Spiritual and community lessons for embracing collective care, co-creating sustainable futures, and responsibly meeting uncertain futures-a Zen and Native Hawaiian take on building better, more balanced ways of being"--

Sometimes generally referred to as "the nones," agnostics, atheists, humanists, freethinkers, secularists and skeptics compose one of the fastest growing faith categories in the United States. Because they are treated as "nones," some people face discrimination as nonbelievers, despite their varied and strong beliefs, values and morals. This basic guide, "100 Questions and Answers About the Religiously Unaffiliated," describes the differences, explains why discrimination and laws force some to hide their beliefs and why they would like to shed the label of "nones." Religious freedom and the First Amendment's establishment clause come up frequently.The key issue for many is whether the First Amendment's guarantee of religious freedom also guarantees the right to be free from religion.Legal issues include school prayer, the obligation to support tax-exempt religious properties and requirements that people profess belief in God to be allowed to vote or hold office.Life magazine called Madalyn Murray O'Hair, whose lawsuit ended mandatory prayer in public schools, "the most hated woman in America." The Secular Coalition for America's website directory withheld the name of its communications consultant because "unwarranted prejudices and discriminatory practices ... affect atheists and humanists. Consequently, s/he felt it was best to be incognito for now, since working for an organization that protects the rights of nontheists might result in lost opportunities with other clients."In this guide's forward, Dr. Phil Zuckerman writes, "Understanding secular people is important for many reasons. For one thing, secular movements, leaders, values and ideals play significant roles in the political landscapes of the world. From the first sentence of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to Article 20 of Japan's Constitution, from France's laïcité to Vietnam's atheistic dictatorship, and from the founding of the Mexican Republic to India's current political struggles, in many countries secularism is a central pillar of both stability as well as conflict."Additionally, secular men and women are often unjustly stigmatized as immoral scoundrels or angry curmudgeons - negative stereotypes that don't actually accord with reality yet prove to be both persistent and pernicious. For instance, in some societies, such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Malaysia, hatred and fear of the secular is so strong that those who don't believe in God can be imprisoned, tortured or even executed. Here in the United States, many state constitutions - such as those of Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi - currently outlaw anyone who doesn't believe in God from holding any publicly elected office."Dr. Morgan Shipley's introduction says, "For the more than 85 million Americans who identify as nonreligious, we witness a turn to secularization as both an explanation for the lack of belief and a source for fulfilling the areas of life commonly associated with religion, such as morality, togetherness and agency. For the nonreligious, then, we find more than a rejection of God and faith. Instead, we uncover various ways humans highlight virtue, pursue a sense of belongingness, celebrate progress and rely on rational discourse to construct meaningful and morally driven lives." Questions include:Who are "the nones?"Who is under the umbrella of the nonreligious?What is an atheist?Who are agnostics?What is secularism? Who are humanists?Who are freethinkers?What is irreligion?Are Pagans and Wiccans nonreligious?What does it mean to be spiritual but not religious?What values do nonreligious people hold? How does one respectfully console a nonreligious person?Do nonreligious people pray?

This book aims to revitalise the link between social justice and labour law through exploring the issue of personhood and the 'subject' of the law. Rodgers argues that incorporating a more 'relational' notion of self into labour law not only provides a fresh normative perspective through which to evaluate existing labour laws, but will also make us more able to respond to labour market 'shocks' and labour market change into the future, including the introduction of AI. It is only by embedding relationality into our law that can we really respect the humanity of workers and construct a legal framework through which social justice can be achieved at work.
